As a fervent enthusiast of science fiction, particularly the Alien series, I can’t help but express my excitement over Episode 3 of FX’s fresh take, Alien: Earth. This episode has dropped a massive revelation about the legendary Xenomorphs – it seems they communicate in ways we never imagined!
Being the first TV series in the expansive Alien franchise, Alien: Earth presents an unprecedented opportunity to delve deeper into the mythology and lore of these terrifying aliens. While it continues to explore intriguing themes such as synthetics, cyborgs, and hybrids, and offers insightful glimpses into the geopolitical landscape of the franchise, Alien: Earth has also disclosed significant information about the Xenomorphs themselves.
This is truly a fascinating development that promises to enrich our understanding of one of the most iconic creatures in cinematic history. I can hardly wait to see where this new series takes us!
In episode 3 of “Alien: Earth,” titled “Metamorphosis,” Prodigy obtained alien samples from the Maginot and started examining them. During dissection of a Facehugger, they inadvertently inflicted intense suffering on the creature. Unusually, Wendy (played by Sydney Chandler) sensed this distress as she could perceive high-pitched sounds that Xenomorphs use to communicate among themselves – a communication method that explains how they have spoken to each other across all previous “Alien” films, although it was never explicitly shown on screen until “Alien: Earth.
In the second episode of “Alien: Earth,” titled “Mr. October,” Wendy first encountered the eerie, repetitive sounds that turned out to be the Xenomorphs’ communication signal. Until now, it wasn’t clear what these noises meant. This new revelation sheds light on many questions left unanswered in earlier Alien franchise installments, as Xenomorphs have previously been shown working together as a cohesive unit, a phenomenon notably demonstrated in films like Aliens (1986), Alien Resurrection (1997), and Alien vs. Predator (2004).
Besides delving deeper into the mythology of the Xenomorphs, the novel Alien: Earth has additionally unveiled a plethora of other fascinating extraterrestrial beings, opening up previously unexplored realms within the franchise. The collision of Maginot, which occurred two years prior to the events depicted in the 1979 film Alien, provides an explanation for why the corporations were so eager to obtain the alien specimen from that movie. However, the future of these other creatures remains uncertain. For now, the narrative primarily revolves around the Xenomorphs, particularly after the discovery of several eggs harboring Facehuggers.
The next five episodes of the series “Alien: Earth” are coming soon, promising further insights into the Xenomorph species and their society. Additionally, the mystery surrounding Wendy’s ability to understand the Xenomorph trills, a skill that other Lost Boy hybrids lack, will be explored more deeply. The series “Alien: Earth” has already established itself as the most acclaimed project within the Alien franchise, signifying a bright future for the series.
