As an alien fan for 40+ years, I was hopeful that this series could finally revive the franchise. However, what made Alien great was suspense. What made Aliens awesome was action (and a sublime cast, script, and director). Whoever wrote and directed this has completely missed what makes the franchise great; instead, they think it's about horror about grossing people out. They're going for cheap scares and have just completely missed what makes the franchise great. Sad. Hoping it picks up, but based on the direction the series is going, I hold no hopes.
I don't understand how this episode doesn't get a 10 from everyone who's seen it. It is genuinely sublime. Every scene, every line, every gag is perfect. The pacing is amazing, and the script is just hysterical. For 40 years, I've been quoting lines from this episode. It's the apex of Moonlighting, and if I had to convince someone that this show is worth watching, then this would be the episode I'd show. Sublime.
This idea-popularized by documentaries like Zeitgeist and books by fringe theorists-suggests that Jesus is a mythological copy of deities like:
*Horus (Egyptian god of the sky) *Mithras (Persian god of light) *Osiris (Egyptian god of the afterlife) *Dionysus (Greek god of wine)
It claims parallels such as:
* Virgin birth * Baptism * Twelve disciples * Miracles * Crucifixion and resurrection
What Scholars Say
*Most of these parallels are either exaggerated, misrepresented, or outright fabricated. For example, Horus was not born of a virgin-his conception involved Isis reassembling Osiris and using his body to conceive A B.
*There's no evidence Horus had 12 disciples, was baptized, or crucified A C.
*Claims like Horus walking on water or delivering a sermon on the mount are not found in Egyptian texts A C.
* Egyptologists and historians argue that these comparisons often cherry-pick myths from different eras, misinterpret symbols, or rely on outdated sources like Gerald Massey, whose work is largely dismissed by modern scholars B D.
