The eye is highly intelligent and knows complex math. He's now inside someone who is highly intelligent who only two people on the island know is dead, and those two think he's dead. It's been watching boy wonder for weeks, with boy wonder talking and teaching it.

Wait till it talks and moves with purpose. He's gonna be a problem
Maybe but I would question if Arthur's intelligence would still be in tact after he's already been water logged and dead for days. I just figured the person had to be alive for it to take over the intelligence. We'll see..maybe.

Yeah I don't think I've ever seen a show fall off in one season. Like complete nosedive in quality and that includes writers strikes shows. Episode 5 did all that heavy lifting to set up the rest of the season and they squandered it. We were all rooting for them too. I can't believe a group of writers got together to create that bullshyt and gave each the thumbs up on it. They've painted themselves into a corner with Yutani jets flying over and the octo-eyeball taking the over the scientist because they can't time jump out of those things.

Them p*ssying out of letting the octo-eyeball get her brother was weak. That one move could've made for epic television. Octo-eyeball taking over Bobby but him still having some type of consciousness. Them being like Eddie Brock and Venom, both thinking Kavalier is a dikkhead, Bobby caring for Wendy but octo-eyeball hating xenomorphs, Wendy trying to free Bobby and put him in a android body. Kavalier trying to hunt him and eyeball down on the island, Wendy trying get to him before Kavalier does. The most interesting character on the show(eyeball) needs a host to do things and the least interesting character on the show(Bobby) does nothing but is going to be around for a while. It was a no brainer. That one decision might've salvaged the finale.

Wendy being overpowered makes sense because she was the first one so I can see them having no real gauge BUT.....you put 6 billion investment into robot body and don't know what it's even capable of sounds ridiculous. How is her android body you designed surprising you with its capability? Everything she has Kavalier gave her.
I'm glad that I'm not the only one that noticed the mother of drag...uh xenomorphs ass ending. That was cheesy and not even a dope enough cliffhanger to draw you into a season 2 like a girl who gave up, committing suicide by fire with her 3 worthless eggs and waking up unburnt with 3 baby dragons. I have zero excitement for a season 2 of Alien Earth outside of seeing the eyeball make its move now that it's free.

They kept feeding us how smart the octo-eyeball was all season only for it to end up in a body that has been decomposing for days. With all the chaos in the building it went all the way to the coast line, avoiding multiple live and dead bodies in the building. Now they have to write a logical explanation for why/how it's operating a dead body and specifically that one that's been dead for days with its chest busted open

The closer I got to the end of this shyt, I realized that this really could have been a rouge one like mini-series. A 10 episode self contained story , have Yutani nuke the island at the end leaving her with the knowledge of xenomorphs thus fueling the obsession with them that becomes the Alien movie franchise.

Yep. Next season being the kids running things and then slowly turnning on each other like some lord of the flies/yellow jackets shyt couldve been fun. But something like that requires like weeks/months of no one coming to the island. Curly vs Wendy couldve been used as the battle for next season, but that's already resolved. Then Nibs seems ok/mentally stable. Then like you said Yutani coming soon.

I agree with a few points in your post except this one. Eyebally getting into Boy was what they p*ssyed out on, not Joe. Also I dont think there is consciousness for the host when it takes over. I could be wrong but they just straight up dead and meat puppets for Eyebally. So the Venom stuff wouldnt work.

Also I forgot the Eyebally can talk to the xenomorph as well. They already laid that foundation with Eyebally calling the xeno on the ship in episode 5. So I guess maybe Eyethur can maybe whistle in the dead body and pet xenos wont know who to listen to between him and Wendy?

They don't have an explanation breh. Hate to say it. They needed a lot of things to move the plot forward, and apparently they decided the best way to make things conclude faster and more efficiently was to just have her able to do a bunch of magical deus ex machina stuff.

i think she is hacking in over the network.

I'm just spit balling what the eyeball can actually do because they haven't let us know exactly what it can and can't do. What kind of parasite would take over a dead body? I mean that's the opposite of what parasites do. We would have a better idea if it was in a human long enough to not have to fight a xenomorph 10 seconds later. I was thinking more along the lines of venom as in it knows and feels that her brother hates Kavalier, not like them arguing about what to do.

The eyeball taking over Kavalier negates his "I want to have a conversation with someone as smart as me,you people are all dumb" scene. The eyeball being as smart or smarter than Kavalier and talking down to him with Hermits body would hit harder. Eyeball is a villain with no allies and Kavalier was the villain with power. Putting them together you'll lose more than you gain especially if the eyeball works how you think it works and Kavalier becomes a meat puppet vs Wendy trying to get her brother back to put him in a hybrid body but the eyeball holding him hostage.

In my world where Eyebally takes over Kavalier, Eyebally would get Kav's power and no one else notices he has been taken over. Think that could set up some interesting stuff. Especially with his synths(Kirsh/Atom) locked up so the two main ones who would be able to tell something is off are off the board. We then deal with Eyevalier grunting to subordinates and slowly learning to talk over the season. Eyevalier also learns how much power he truly has in the world with his new host being one of "The Five". Eyevalier has been shown to have incredible problem solving skills. We already saw how Boy handled the court meeting with Yutani earlier. Imagine they run it back again with Eyevalier crushing Yutani. Do w/e grandscheme you want for Eyevalier, season/series ends with Morrow/Kirsh/Lost Boys working together to kill Eyevalier after they find out Boy has been taken over .

I agree with the Alien parts of your post but Dany didn't commit suicide. It was the opposite

Walking into the fire wasn't her giving up it was her giving in. Keep in mind she'd been told her whole young life that "fire cannot kill a dragon" The Dany that walks into the fire had reached a level of conviction where she might not've 100% known what was going to happen next, but she knew this what what she needed to do

Getting really good reviews, they saying its Andor for Alien franchise.




So after the finale I saw a bunch of posts on line saying "I dont want to hear anyone say this is the Andor of *insert franchise here* of anything ever again".
I was like who the hell said that? I fukked with the show heavy at the start and even I wouldnt say that. I came to this thread and see ign and another reviewer were on bullshyt with that comparison :dead:
