What happened to Dexter: The Killer Haemorrhoids S69?

[!Spoilers!] Alien: Earth S1 E3 (Metamorphosis) - Discussion in c/[email protected]

I didn't really like E01/E02, too quirky, faux-edgy and the Peter pan stuff was off-putting.

First Alien production where I didn't really care what was happening.

E03 is more of the same.

I didn't get it, they had an alien infestation after the ship crash landed and they took care of it with minimal organisation and brought all the samples/organic matter back to Neverland?

Is the infestation still happening and they are going return to the crash site? Or what is going on?

I should probably stop watching this, this is a shit show.

Leaving Las Vegas was also really good.

I liked S02 much more than S01.

S01 is better made and more consistent, but I thought the theme and the ending of S02 was pretty unique for an American series.

S04 was OK and had a good start but IMO it went nowhere. S02 (and S01 for that matter) had a much more coherent beginning, middle and end structure.

Counter arguement: well written critical reviews can often help you find (and enjoy) unique and/or indie productions.

Watched E01 and E02, this was the first Alien production where I didn't care what was going on.

Way too much quirkyness, faux-edgyness and Peter Pan "appeal to YA demographic" BS.

Lots of annoying, lazyily written characters (trillionaire kid, flea market Roy Batty, prince Hermit in the magical plot armour).

I don't mind a completely novel take on Alien (big fan of Aliens: Phalanx even though its very YA and Alien: Isolation), but the execution of Alien: Earth reeks of the feces of Disney executives.

What's a show you'd have ended a season earlier? in c/[email protected]

It though it was fine.

It helped that seasons in The Wire were somewhat independent.

It will be interesting to see if there is information at all about the ecosystem(s) involved. I have a feeling this part will be superficial at best, but let's see how things play out.
