Metamorphosis, the third chapter of Alien: Earth, stumbles slightly but then picks itself up melding visceral horror with cerebral ambition.
Noah Hawley crafts a gripping resolution to Ep 2's cliffhanger, with Wendy (Sydney Chandler), a synthetic-human prodigy, battling a xenomorph in a sequence drenched in the franchise's primal terror. The Neverland set, a decayed dystopian marvel, enchants, while Chandler's nuanced performance lends heart to the once-muddled AI themes. Timothy Olyphant's Kirsh, with roguish menace, teases darker depths, and Samuel Blenkin's Boy Kavalier drips corporate venom.
The "Lost Boys" - Curly's guile, Nibs' angst - intrigue, but their childlike dialogue often grates, feeling contrived.
A facehugger dissection scene, both ghastly and cerebral, ties AI to horror with finesse. Yet, expository tangents and uneven pacing bog down the momentum, and the hybrid concept still wobbles, not fully coalescing.
Ep 3 elevates the series with its bloody brilliance and growing clarity, but minor missteps keep it from greatness. A promising, if imperfect, evolution.
Rating: 7.5/10.

Wow. Where to begin. I had high hopes for this show, but three episodes in it feels very underwhelming. My biggest complaint is the music/soundtrack. It is beyond bad and takes you out of the immersion if there ever was one to begin with. Rock/blues music in the Alien universe? Really?
And frankly this doesn´t feel like the Alien universe one bit. I really liked the Fargo series and I think that Hawley nailed the tone and story for that, but it´s clear that he doesn´t know how to create the Alien universe and the suspense and mood that said universe requires.
This show i too goofy and weird for it to really be convincing as an Alien installment. I´m getting more Legion vibes than Alien vibes on this and I´m not sure that Hawley is the right man for the job.
The Alien franchise as a whole is at a bad place and I don´t think it´ll ever recover.

This episode was honestly painful to watch. Adults trying to act like brainless children, it's just unbearable. Not every kid has to be clueless or annoying; there are clever, resourceful kids in reality, but here every one of them comes across as utterly annoying.
And please, give us back the real xeno. There's absolutely no way a 11 yr old child in a synt body should be able to behead an indestructible xeno with a paper slicer blade in minutes. That's not just unrealistic, it's insulting to the entire mythos. The mighty xenomorph, reduced to a joke, killed instantly in the most absurd way? It kills all the whole franchise standing on!
The dialogue doesn't help either, there's no cleverness. There is no suspense at all either, just one ridiculous scene after another. Alien has always thrived on atmosphere, dread, and intelligence. Here, it's nothing but shallow spectacle and sloppy writing.
Where is the suspense? Where is the intelligence? This isn't Alien, it's a parody of it. Three stars for the visuals, but the rest is pure garbage.

I struggled with the first two episodes, in which I really didn't care for many of the cast and felt they treated the creature more as a slasher than as the monster creeping around the haunted house that I enjoyed in the earlier films.
However, this episode did a very good job of elevating the series as it started to explain some of the the characters' motivations and as some of the actors started to fill their roles
Some thoughts:
Unlike the first two episodes, I rarely felt the need to check the time--only, again, when the actors playing the Lost Boys struggled to make them believable as children in an adult body. (It's a tough thing to do, but the actress playing Wendy does perhaps the best job.)
I can't bring myself to give it more than an eight, mainly due to the actors playing the Lost Boys, but that's a strong positive review from me.
P. S. I read earlier reviews that nitpicked the idea that Yutani was the sole name of the corporation while Weyland-Yutani was on the Nostromo in Alien, which is set only two years hence. Per this episode, that's no longer a valid concern, as the corporation is indeed Weyland-Yutani and stated as such.

Some thoughts:
- Boy Kavalier at last eplained why the children were chosen for the synthetic body transfer and it both made sense and was satisfying in the context of the company
- Kirsch went, to me, from being merely creepy to being an active protagonist with somewhat inscrutable motivations
- Morrow, as always, fascinates and is ramping up to be an excellent antagonist. Every scene he's in is eminently watchable
- Even the brother, who I felt was weak and weepy in the earlier episodes, has some agency. I'm hopeful the character continues to improve.

No kid themes in Alien. Ever. This series could have been so good, but Disney had to be Disney. You ruined Star Wars, now you're putting Peter Pan in Alien and turning the main character into a child who looks like an adult. How do you think people who have Alien forever, respond to this? It's garbage.

- TriviaThe science officer's report on the alien plant: "A carnivorous plant not dissimilar to the Terran genus Drosera. Science officer has given tentative taxonomic classification of D. Plumbicare due to the use of mucilage to lure unsuspecting prey, a stamen to sense prey, and a pattern of "leaves" which form a mouth. Though generally confined to carnivory, D. Plumbicare has been seen eating nearby flora in dire situations. Animals given to D. Plumbicare have expired in one of three ways: asphyxiation, dissolved, or exhaustion. Enzymatic breakdown begins upon death, stamen also acts as a gauge of atmospheric pressure and temperature. When conditions become inhospitable or a threat to survival, D. Plumbicare closes completely. When attempting to open a closed D. Plumiocare, many kilograms of pressure were applied to no avail. Once back on Earth, further testing needed to confirm strength of leaves."
In real life Drosera is one of the largest genera of carnivorous plants, with at least 194 species, and are a member of the family Droseraceae, which contains plants like the Venus Fly Trap. Members of Drosera lure, capture, and digest insects using stalked mucilaginous glands covering their leaf surfaces. The insects are used to supplement the poor mineral nutrition of the soil in which the plants grow. Plants in the Drosera genus are commonly called sundews, some well known species are the cape sundew and tropical sundew. They have a central stalk that acts much like a tentacle, and are able to move their tentacles in response to contact with edible prey. The tentacle is covered in small stalks covered with mucilage, a thick sweet smelling substance that is very sticky that acts as both bait and digestive fluid, the stalks are very sensitive to movement. The mucilage attracts an insect, then when the movement of an insect is detected, the tentacles will bend toward the center of the leaf and bring the insect into contact with as many stalks as possible, which then being dissolving the insect and absorbing its nutrients.
- ErroresA synthetic uses a camera to film the surgery carried out by Kirsh. However, everything seen through the eyes of a synthetic is recorded, so it makes no sense to use a camera.
