Alien: Earth

Ep. 5 was good. One thing that annoyed me was the female scientist who was in the lab eating food while working with blood sucking Aliens. She took ZERO precautions working with an unknown species. I mean there were some other things that annoyed me, but overall, this was a good episode. Was more like a real Alien show/movie.

A good question that was brought up over on AVS forums was, how did boy genius get hooked up with the guy on the ship. We know this mission was 65 years long and at this point they were in the 65th year. So, this mission started way before boy genius was born. How did he even find out that there was a ship out there exploring other planets? I would imagine Yutani monitors all communications going in and out of that ship. They would be the only ones who know where it is at all times. So, how did boy genius find out about it, and how did he get communications through without Yutani noticing or anybody else on the ship? It's sci-fi, we shouldn't' think that hard about it, but just thought it was a good question.

When they went to do the surgery, no masks, no face shield/glasses. Sorry, even without alien species, that's protocol they would not skip.

I am guessing boy genius is ether hyper sleeping, or he's a hybrid or clone. The implication being, Peter Pan never ages.

Good old-fashioned corporate espionage?

It's radio/wireless communication. Not some physically secured transmission wire.
"They can't stop the signal Mal. They can never stop the signal."

He was also communicating with the chief engineer. If certain protocols needed to be worked around or bypassed to allow third party transmission communications, I'd think he'd on the short list of ones who might be able to do that discretely.

Hahaha, I was going to mention that surgery scenes as well. Haha. Just goes straight into cutting him open while smoking a cig.

I was thinking that as well. Boy Genius has to be some hybrid or clone.

Another thing I was thinking about during that surgery scene was "where is that surgical pod that was in Promethius?" Since Prometheus took place before this, you'd think those surgical pods would be used on every ship nowadays. Haha, the Tech used in these "prequel" movies/shows seems more advanced than the actual movies taking place 50-100+ years later.
