Starting point is 00:01:30 Thank you to Shopify for sponsoring this video. More on them in just a bit. Yeah, those are all the things for the housekeeping. Let's get into Earth. Guys, if you listen to this on Apple or Spotify, we just watched Alien Earth Episode 6. Thank you to Prepper for cutting down these highlights as we get into it. started with this man over in the review, Mr. Coy.

Starting point is 00:02:02 Are we started? Yes. Go. I got smack at the end, man. The needle drops, no holly. Spinning through your eyes. Something to claim everything you thought was alive. Like the lyrics are so good for the show. I am so impressed by, there was a moment when we were discussing one of the lost boys, not having a lot of screen time, but then even that one had.

Starting point is 00:02:21 They've done a really good job giving everyone enough of an arc that you care without being overwhelmed by the size of the ensemble. and then manipulating us. Like, I forgot how invested I was in that kid's family. Yeah. And then I hated him so much because he betrayed the one good man. And I hadn't cared about the one good man all that much until he did the one good man thing. Like, they're so good at giving you, like, a baseline four. And then in an episode, they can make someone be like an eight.

Starting point is 00:02:48 And then you care just enough to, like, kill him. Like in a good horror movie where you give someone that one big heroic act. So that makes me even more intrigued by how this ends because I didn't. I didn't realize how invested I was in so many subplots until it cost me. And the world building and the playfulness with the lost boys elements. The Peter Pan flying, the lawyer scene, the manipulation that everyone's doing. Like, there's so much chess being played. And I now am starting to think that Wendy might turn on humanity.

Starting point is 00:03:22 I don't know if she's... I think if we lose Hermit, we lose Wendy. And if we lose Wendy It's over Damn She said she didn't want to be called Wendy What was her real name? Mercy or Marcy

Starting point is 00:03:33 Marcy Marcy Yeah Marcy She'll show no mercy No But yeah I really love this episode

Starting point is 00:03:40 Yeah How you feeling Tara I loved it too A lot of moving pieces In this What has got me Is that Kirsch lied

Starting point is 00:03:49 He's a synthetic So to me I'm like He can lie I thought he could not lie to his like boss to his superior like and so now I'm like whoa that really got me when he's like affirmative and he is staring at a face hugger with one of their engineers on the ground and I don't even think he knows that that engineer is fired so I'm like what is gonna happen there that's that has me very very intrigued the rest of it is is wild meaning that girl her memories

Starting point is 00:04:24 totally wiped. She was aggressive towards the scientists earlier, which I had forgotten about. It's going to be Wackadoo if Wendy does turn on humanity because she says, you are what's wrong. And she kind of got on the side of thinking, well, maybe what the scientist did to the other girl, the redhead, I forgot her name, sorry, was almost like a blessing in disguise. I felt like Wendy was almost going to be like maybe it's a good thing, but then I realized, no, which is a plus because I don't think it's a good thing. And I need the redhead to wake up and cause some chaos because this is already so chaotic that I'm like one more piece in the puzzle. It's going to be insane. And I'm so here for it. Yeah. No, this has been really, really good, the continuing of what we started in the first four episodes. You know, we're back from our.

Starting point is 00:05:24 detour. We got some more knowledge, more insight as to what happened prior to this. And now that we're back into it, it's ramping up in some really fascinating ways. I love the fact that Wendy is now straight up communicating with the xenomorph as it gets bigger and scarier every day. I love the fact that we got to dive further into what it means to be human versus what it means to be a hybrid and do you want to be human knowing the the downfalls or what you perceive to be the weaknesses of humanity having the memories of that coupled with the knowledge of what it means to be greater for lack of a better term yeah this is just another great episode that is slowly turning up the temperature of everything that we've seen up to this point and you know

Starting point is 00:06:14 people are going to do stupid things people are going to do selfish things and that is going to be the downfall of what we know is happening in our current era of what's amongst this episode. I feel bad for the one dude who died because he was just trying to do his job and the sheep had to ram the glass and

Starting point is 00:06:34 now it's not only humans that are in danger, now the synthetics are in danger. I feel that for the one human, the one human his wife betrayed him and cost him his life. Yeah. I feel really, I feel really, really bad for him. Of course. He was the one of two good guys still left in this show and now we are down to one and we don't even know if he's going to make it to the end of the season or if he's going to survive the finale of the season

Starting point is 00:06:56 I don't feel good about Hermit I don't feel good about Herman I'm worried about Hermit 10270 that's a boat code buddy nice the one good job I definitely would have my ADHD I would have like forgot it two minutes after I saw it when he was what was it again when he was trying to type in the code the next scene I was like don't know what that code was and it wasn't even the same code i was like if the boat code was the same as the door code i'm dead it was the next scene i was like shit right i was like he can't take out a pen because then it's obvious to show us something to the screen but i'm like what is what is it yeah i'm also wondering if what if the synthetic what if

Starting point is 00:07:37 ali fawn didn't lie and peter pan boy genius wants them to go oh oh okay right because he he well What if he cares more about the aliens? I mean, he clearly cares more about them than the hybrids, but what if he wants them loose on Earth and he can blame Utani? But how does that increase his profit margins? Because I thought he was trying to sell them. They're weapons. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:08:02 And he's already been studying them. What if he's gotten enough? I don't know. I don't know. I'm just wondering. What if there's something that he wants out of them escaping? I'm trying to remember if he knows that Wendy killed his xenomorph. Do we know that fact?

Starting point is 00:08:14 No, because they were both just on the floor. They were doing it. a lot of the Zenomorph body. Yeah. So maybe they do know because I'm like, okay, if he wants them to get out, they do spread through earth. And that's furthers him promoting the fact that his hybrids. Dude, and now she could talk to it and it's so big.

Starting point is 00:08:31 And her leaving saying, you're what's wrong. She's going to go talk to Zanomorpe. And they're going to be a team. She's so fit. Yeah, she's so. That's not an accident. Jack. So they were like, show how Jack she is.

Starting point is 00:08:42 In her freaking arms. Her deltoids are incredible. The straightations on her deltoids. Delta menstruations are very hard to get. Get it. That's a very low body fat percentage. It's very impressive. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:08:52 Kyle Chandler's kid. Good stuff. I wish I knew her name because I feel very bad about calling her. Yeah, yeah, Kyle Chandler's kid. This Chandler. You're very talented. Yeah, you are. You are.

Starting point is 00:09:02 I think this is my favorite episode. Rejectionation, this shirt, you can find it at Rejectionation shop. com, along with mini up our other apparel. And I'll tell you when we first launched that merch shop, we weren't then, and we're still not now. website developers. We just knew we wanted a place where fans of ours could grab shirts, hoodies, bugs, and support the channel. And for the longest time, we didn't do it because the idea of, like, building and running a shop

Starting point is 00:09:28 sounded daunting. And then we were recommended by a friend Shopify.

Starting point is 00:10:24 of real rejects thank you yeah you know this or the first one or this was the first one is so like the world like that there's a novelty element to the first and that might be my favorite this is probably my second favorite yeah they've continued to build for me wow that had one issue with it uh it was the fact that yeah why would they not wash the other kids memories or not tell them that this girl got her memory. Oh, yeah, that's right. Okay, first episode. You're right.

Starting point is 00:10:51 That is a major flaw. It bothered me during, but so much cool shit happened in the third act I forgot. That definitely bothered me. I was like, that's going to backfire on you guys later. Exactly.

Starting point is 00:11:01 Or, you know, erase all their memories at the events if you're going to just cover your bases. But, you know, we wouldn't have a story if that happened. Yeah, it's one of those like, eh, magic bean. Like, you got to let's one thing has to be okay. Let it slide.

Starting point is 00:11:12 Yeah, that's what's a little shiny stuff over here. There's some cool stuff. She's worried about her husband. being fired and they're obviously going to get divorced. She didn't have time to think ahead. Yeah, and I'm wondering, thinking back because obviously, you know, the last episode didn't really cover

Starting point is 00:11:26 anything that was happening in this episode because I'm thinking like if you were to play this back after the entire season's over, could you just play one, two, three, four, six and then not feel five as necessary? Because as at this point in time, I don't know if there's anything that five added specifically

Starting point is 00:11:42 to the progression of this episode unless the information and that one becomes relevant. And in seven or eight i'd say like watch five one two three i think the the elements of you i mean i like not chronological storytelling so i'm i'm sure it's going to pay off in seven and eight but even just in this episode seem that utani trusts him to the level of like consulting with him yeah like there's a there's a reciprocal trust we learned in the flashback of like her grandma taking him in like that was a very key detail um seeing how like the you know the these creatures grew up and escaped like that was more context but their relationship i feel he's going to be big

Starting point is 00:12:16 seven yeah okay yeah okay because we got a little bit of that prior to this episode because I think he was on the phone with you tony yeah but yeah that five is what established the trust in the relationship and then it grew here yeah yeah she like yeah goes in for decision I love that scene of uh of them all talking

Starting point is 00:12:32 and him just manipulating the whole system getting paid and keeping the freaking aliens dude like what yeah that was fantastic no do you feel like morrow and utani could have used the that video of of Prodigy and the guy who betrayed them on the ship

Starting point is 00:12:49 talking to each other as planned to crash the ship as, like, leverage against Prodigy? Yeah. I wonder if that's why he didn't mention that at all. Yeah. I don't know what Morrow's deal is. He's a rogue agent. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:13:03 Maro and Cure? No, not Cure. Cush. Yeah, Marva and Curs. Cush. A liar who may not have lied if he wanted. I doubt, I doubt. I'm just like, there's so many variables.

Starting point is 00:13:15 There is. There's a lot. a lot going on. We only got two left. I really hope this show gets a season two. Me too. It's written to start something. It's not written as a limited series. It's written as a show. Yeah. So I, that's why I think. We haven't even been back to the wreck yet again. Like, I thought we were going to go back to that. We have not been there, really. Do you think aliens get out next episode or is it

Starting point is 00:13:40 episode eight at the end? That kicks off Alien Earth. Because they're on Earth. They're on Island. Do you think? Do you think? think they get continental probably seven because I feel like pinned open pen ultimate episodes are typically when shit goes crazy okay and then eight they're like spreading yeah yeah give us the season two to let us have that

Starting point is 00:13:58 a xenomorph in California yeah I wonder because I realize that I guess this is only taking place in the span of a week yeah which is like oh wow yeah when she was describing like a couple days ago I was like that's crazy yeah I thought this been like a few weeks at least but yeah because we

Starting point is 00:14:14 know that this takes place two years before the first alien movie, which makes me question some things. I don't want to get too into the weeds with continuity and stuff because synthetics were a prominent part of Whalen Utani, and now they're, you know, using a cyborg. So maybe this is the event

Starting point is 00:14:30 that transitions them into full cybernetic or no, because of Prometheus. Anyway, you guys can let us know down in the comments, what you guys think is the continuity of this and the weeds and your theories and whatnot. I'm just excited to see what

Starting point is 00:14:46 happens next i wonder if the kid you know he drags the engineer face hugger body in there is he just going to climb through the air vents to get it tomorrow and then if morrow has it brings it to her now do they know that it's it's going to be a chesty they probably don't know and now will she have a chesty running around you know what i think is going to happen i think they're going to have Wendy's xenomorph fight the others you know more and Wendy's going to be under her control right so Wendy has hers

Starting point is 00:15:22 which we know and then you're saying once Maro takes the face hugger I'm thinking the chest he pops up with the whalen right and then you're thinking they'll fight maybe even before that point because I don't know I think the

Starting point is 00:15:37 the time in which they pop really varies because I don't think there's not I don't think there's any rhyme or reason or consistency in that. Unless there's something I don't know, alien fans, so please, you know, inform me in the comments and lighten me. But, yeah, I think that they're, the one that just, the face-hugger that just went, the chest brushers going to come out. They're both going to be on the island, and then eventually they're going to clash. But somehow the sheep plays into all of this, because we ended on the shot of the sheep. She did.

Starting point is 00:16:05 The sheep is smart. Mastermind. Smart as hell. Sheep's doing all of this. Yeah, I agree. I'm with him on that. He's listening to Selyerna. He's out there listening to Godsmack manipulating things.

Starting point is 00:16:15 Oh, yeah. You didn't see it on it when you were looking at his face, but he definitely had the steeple. Oh, a hundred people energy. He really did. Oh, what's that, what's that sheep planning? I don't know, but I'm excited. I love that Noel Holly listens to all the music I listened to in high school. Like, I really love, like, these are throwbacks.

Starting point is 00:16:33 I saw Godsmack live, like, four times in high school. Oh, my God. Like, Ray, he gets a machine, Godsmack. He's, like, nailing my exact. Oh, 100%. Yeah. I'm going to listen to my home now. I love it.

Starting point is 00:16:44 We love nostalgic. I love nostalgic energy. Are you guys? You guys have any final thoughts before we get out of here? I just want to see him get to the boat. Him remember the code and what? Who's going to be in the boat? What if she takes the xenomorph and her brother on the boat and they got to go to fight the other chesty that popped with with Waylon and Mara?

Starting point is 00:17:04 That would be crazy. Tara, what's the code? What's the code? 1077. I'm so impressed. I forgot it in the last five. minutes. She just said it and I heard of God. Yep, it's me and Aaron are dead.

Starting point is 00:17:15 We're dead. We're done. We're not getting on that boat. I'm sorry. But yeah, Koi, you got any final thoughts before you got? I'm just really impressed at how much I care about more characters than I realize now that they're starting to die. I'm like, oh, no. And I'm like, oh, I didn't realize. And I think that's really good writing. I also really enjoy all the Peter Pan metaphors kind of coming to a head. And I think it hasn't addressed the human stuff it posited as strongly as I think it will. I think the last two episodes are going to be a lot of action, but I think it's going to be a lot of like looking at what makes us human because those are all the questions

Starting point is 00:17:44 the first act asked the second ask gave us all the exposition and and like turmoil and like company stuff and like i think the the last two and that's that's my prediction is there'll be some like what makes a person what makes a cyber like they did a little bit in the elevator yeah but like that i think that's going to be a factor in the last two yeah i agree with that okay yeah i am also excited to see what what goes down you know who survives this finale who perishes uh We'll Prodigy finally get some shoes after these events? I don't know. I'm very curious.

Starting point is 00:18:15 Tactile feet. Tactile feet. Yeah, guys, that'll be it for us today. And we'll see you guys on episode seven. Deuses.
