In a daring move for the franchise, showrunner Noah Hawley has been pushing boundaries with the lore expansion. However, nothing as shocking as the recent revelation at the end of Episode 4. From the onset of the season, hints about the upcoming events were subtly introduced through the character of Wendy (Sydney Chandler), who displayed extraordinary abilities that her makers couldn’t comprehend. An intriguing twist unfolded when Wendy stepped onto the wreckage of the USCSS Maginot, where she suddenly picked up a strange frequency that affected her. The climax of Episode 3 left viewers on the edge of their seats with a thrilling cliffhanger: Prodigy Corporation was genetically engineering its own xenomorph drone, and this process seemed to have a significant effect on Wendy, causing her to faint.
In a quick turn of events, the solution to our puzzle was revealed in Alien: Earth Episode 4. As many viewers had predicted, Prodigy managed to establish communication with the enigmatic xenomorphs.
In the “Observation” research project, the Prodigy team investigates why Wendy fell unconscious in their lab. Upon examination of the hybrid prototype, it’s discovered that Wendy could hear the distress sounds of a xenomorph larva being removed from a facehugger. Once they manage to isolate the specific sound frequency, Dr. Arthur (David Rysdahl) and Dr. Dame (Essie Davis) Sylvia adjust Wendy’s hearing equipment, allowing her to perceive the frequency at which xenomorphs communicate without it being overpowering for her brain. However, Prodigy CEO Boy Kavalier (Samuel Blenkin) isn’t content; he wants to find out if Wendy can go a step further and communicate with the creatures herself. It turns out that Wendy quickly learns to adjust her voice to the appropriate frequency and starts conversing in xenomorph language.
Towards the finale, a xenomorph drone emerges, validating Boy’s hypothesis. It’s Wendy who welcomes this newborn creature and initiates communication. As the episode concludes, it seems the hybrid will have a fascinating new xenomorph companion to interact with, hinted by the scenes prior to the credits.
Wendy’s New Power Changes The Game for Alien: Earth (And the Franchise)
In a clever turn of events, Noah Hawley has increased the dramatic tension significantly as it appears Wendy can now communicate with, perhaps control, xenomorphs. This unexpected development makes the long-simmering plot about whether hybrids still possess any traces of their original humanity suddenly seem incredibly important.
Earth introduces hybrids as a direct representation of this recurring theme. Generally speaking, synthetic characters in these films haven’t been particularly heroic; they can be just as likely to endanger humans. Characters like Ash (from the original Alien) and David (from Prometheus and Alien: Covenant) are examples of bad synthetic actors, while Bishop (from Aliens), Walter (from Alien: Covenant), and Andy (from Alien: Romulus) display more benevolent behavior.
With this background in mind, the stakes in Alien: Earth become even more intriguing due to Hawley’s familiarity with the series history. The development of the hybrids – their mental, emotional, and physical growth as they navigate their identity as beings that straddle the line between human and machine – could have significant consequences for Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, and the creatures involved in this ongoing struggle.
Regarding the “Alien: Earth” series, it’s uncertain if it will ultimately become a part of the official canon, but even if it doesn’t, it offers intriguing new concepts for potential future “Alien” movies. The show has already introduced competing corporations that could add complexity to the storyline and increase the pool of antagonists. Additionally, there are new types of machine characters that enrich the film series, and a possible communication system with xenomorphs, which could be used for training them. We’re still in the middle of “Alien: Earth”‘s run, so there may be even more exciting developments to come.
You can catch the series streaming on Hulu-Disney+.
