Alien: Earth

I overall liked episodes one, two and five.

I thought the abstracted recaps were great. But on the other end, I feel that if you play a different real-world song over the end credits of every episode then the lyrics should be relevant to the episode - here they just seem to want to end on rocking out.

(Apparently this last one did have a relevant lyric.)

Only one of the new monsters really added anything. And mainly added humour.

Second year in a row where I was considering running an ALIEN game in advance of a new live-action spinoff and wasn’t by the end.

I did like: “Don’t say ‘It’s complicated’ - that’s what powerless people say to make doing nothing okay.”

I’d like to see something advance the timeline again like the Dark Horse Comics, taken up by the RPG, where the Alien is somewhat known but still scary. Here it wasn’t even scary.

But at least nobody quoted a famous line that hasn’t happened yet.
