Spoilers Alien: Romulus (Spoilers)

[Morrus]

I was not aware that was a thing but would it not be an E name then, because, you know, David?

Yep, David was #4. Ash, Bishop, Call, David.

Then we had Walter who was David's opposite twin and is 4 letters from the other end of the alphabet.

Then this movie has Andy and Rook, which pretty much breaks the pattern completely.

This thread is going to make me very deliberate about naming android NPCs in Mothership.

Bishop and Rook are both chess pieces...

Sure. But chess pieces wasn’t the pattern!

Yes, but I thought this new pattern (coincidence?) might be interesting to point out.

I loved the first ~30 minutes of the movie. It was a perfectly fine alien-franchise movie once the aliens and facehuggers started showing up, but the mining colony and the crew making a desperate gambit for the abandoned science station was glorious!

Yeah, that was the truly new stuff. It would have been nice to have spent more time in that environment. Fingers crossed for the sequel.

Considering that the Penguin show did well without ever showing batman, I hope that we could get a high-production-value miniseries set in that universe that was just people dealing with evil scientists & corpo types.

I suspect that is what the Alien: Earth series will mostly be about.

I hadn't heard of that! Just looked it up and it seems very promising.

...Timothy Olyphant, though
