I’m not sure what kind of bizarre Eyes Wide Shut activities were going on in there, but the Xenomorph racks up around 20 kills in a matter of seconds. Episode 2 is basically a hype video for the alien—and it’s the best this franchise has been in a long time.

There's "a great equalizer," Hawley points out, in the first episode of Alien: Earth. Kirsch ( Timothy Olyphant ), a synthetic, tells one of his hybrid charges, Wendy (Sydney Chandler), how humans used to be food but convinced themselves otherwise when they formed civilization. They're now being reminded to rethink that mindset.
