  • I found Alien: Covenant to be utterly forgettable. I didn’t like Prometheus, and I didn’t like the direction Scott was trying to take the series (I didn’t need or want this backstory), but at least it was trying to do something interesting. Covenant and Romulus don’t. They’re just retreads. That said, the characters are stupid and underdeveloped in all three.

    People were disappointed by Resurrection back in the day (saw it in the theater), but I can respect it because it has some scenes that have stuck with me my entire life, even though I haven’t watched it since. And it has some strong characters, and a plot that at least kind of makes sense.

    If you want to watch an Alien movie, watch the first two. If you absolutely must watch more, go ahead and watch the third and fourth movies. If you still need to watch more, don’t.


  • It was such an unfortunate decision to cancel Lower Decks. I really liked that show.

    Halo tried to do its own thing and had mixed results at best, but I did think it was on a much firmer footing in season two than season one. Another season and they might have righted the ship completely.

    Look at just about any science fiction show: aside from some notable exceptions, the first season or two are generally terrible until they get their feet under them.
