Wednesday: We can go to my apartment. I don't allow anyone to know where I live. Eugene: Didn't you have Enid over one time? Enid: Yeah that was fun...she moved the next day...

The whole Peter Pan metaphor with the hybrids in Alien: Earth seems fantastic to me. I’m a Peter Pan geek and whenever allusions or metaphors about the work are made, people usually miss the point, but in this case I think it’s very well done. Boy, like Peter, wants to gather lost children so he can have fun and not be alone. He literally admits that his goal is to have someone “at his level” to talk to, which is a very obvious parallel with what Peter did by taking children to Neverland. The difference is that while Peter retains that innocent cruelty of childhood, Boy has a level of awareness that makes him much more dangerous, because his actions aren’t naive, they are intentional. That transition between unconscious childlike cruelty and the conscious cruelty of adulthood is what makes the metaphor work so well.

Especially when you consider how this Wendy also has a lot in common with Wendy from the book. In the end, the original story is also about Wendy and it tells how a girl becomes an adolescent, how she clings to her childhood but then, in a world full of children and fantasy, decides to grow up, and how, of all the children around her, she is the only one who never forgets her family. The Wendy in the series is like that: she enjoys being alive, having all those abilities, and taking on that older sister role, but she is never able to completely forget Joe, who ties her to the adult world, and she defies everything to go save her brother. I think it’s quite clever how they’ve handled the metaphor with the characters in the series, and it really works wonderfully.

Also Morrow as Hook, trapped in a time that isn’t his while chasing a beast that almost destroyed him and that he longs to kill but also fears? Chef’s kiss.

Every day, Gurathin is surrounded by idiots. Every Day.

Unfortunately, they're his idiots.

Kirsh is SO FUNNY to me because he so clearly walked out of one of the prequels that love to dramatically explore religion and science and shit. And he's been stuck with a bunch of kids who think they're the Goonies.

These synths, they think they have parents. Are you the parent?

I saw various stills and gifs of murderbot before watching the show and vaguely got the impression that the narrative involved an extended trip to some kind of remote planet and then a return to like a city or something, so when I saw this still I assumed "right, this is a debrief after the big mission, everyone else is getting up to leave but this one guy is all hunched over and haunted looking, so clearly something upsetting happened to him on the remote planet that he hasn't processed yet and it's got him all messed up and shell shocked."

no. no this is before any of the main plot takes place. this is actually him in significantly better shape than the entire rest of the show. gurathin just looks like that.
