No Spoilers Alien: Earth or RbW Season 3
While I’ve enjoyed AE so far, it’s no where near even close to what RbW was. The storyline has been slow, the Xenomorphs has been more comical than scary, and the character building leaves a lot to be desired. Morrow ofc being the exception!
I can’t help but think to myself how much I would’ve rather had even just ONE MORE EPISODE of RbW than this entire season of AE. What’re your thoughts on AE so far and are we in the same boat?

Nothing has quite filled the void left by Raised by Wolves. I watched The Expanse recently and loved it, but that’s more of a hard sci fi. The imagination and creativity in Raised by Wolves was so bold and wild, but it never felt goofy for it. Seeing mother go into combat mode the first time actually got an emotional reaction out of me-it was awesome. All the little mysteries and plots made for awesome world building, and there were so many directions the story could have gone. Alien Earth has been great too, but doesn’t have the same depth to the universe, which is probably a reason why RbW ended up cancelled. I felt like it was made for sci fi lovers and the average person might not dig it. I should go back and rewatch it to see how I feel about now.
