In Space, No One...

Exhilarating! THIS is how to do an Alien show.

I'm still digesting but the best way to describe would be a super intense dose of 'Alien' injected directly into your veins.

This episode is a beautiful nod to the first movie. It works well to connect the story line but as can work as a stand alone episode.

Even managed to create the new creatures that are just as creepy as are of the other creatures. It'll definitely give people with eyeball sensitivities the heebee jeebees.

Easily the best episode so far. A perfect balance of a gripping story, funny moments, and nostalgia for the original movie.

For me, the Alien franchise has always been about a monster in space, so I'm glad the creators went back to a ship to show the beginning of the story. Although, it would also be interesting to know where and how the crew collected this monstrous zoo?!

And how can you not love the eyeball? She's such a smart sweetheart.

Finally, a superb episode in Alien: Earth! We finally get to see what happened before the first episode, and honestly, this is the best installment of the new show so far.

Two things make it stand out: first, the events take place aboard a spaceship, and second, the episode is packed with non-stop references to earlier films in the franchise. There's a nod to almost every Alien movie, plus all the bizarre new creatures the show has introduced.

It's a formula similar to what Alien: Romulus (2024) used - and while some critics dismiss that as "picking the best parts from previous films and gluing them together," those proven elements undeniably hit home for fans. They certainly did for me.

Notably, while Romulus leaned more into Aliens (1986), this episode draws heavily from the original 1979 classic. For fans of the Alien saga, this episode is pure gold - it brings space back to space horror.

This episode gave us the classic Alien chills, thrills and kept us on the hook even though we knew how exactly it's going to end. If the previous episodes were half as intelligently written and made as this one, the series would have been already considered one of the great sci-fis.

The eye in the goat was the creepiest moment among all the otherwise inane and bland previous episodes. This episode further expands the eye's capabilities, and I love it. I hope we get to see a longer battle between the eye and xenomorph in future.

This series has excellent production values. The art department has replicated the signature "Alien" look to a "T". The Xenomorph looks amazing when it is either the guy in a suit or cgi. Top-notch effects! Episode five feels like it belongs in the canon of Alien. The sets, costumes, lighting and creatures successfully transport the viewer into a Ridley-esque claustrophobic space-ship full of doomed mission-specialists fleeing in terror from the menacing, Xenomorph. Just what we want and expect from the Alien franchise. Amazing work, providing motion-picture quality on a television-series budget. I don't know how they did it, but it really works well. The sets remind us of the Nostromo and other ships from previous Alien films while bringing their own style to the mix. Any Alien fan would enjoy this episode. It almost feels like the series should have started with Ep.5.
