Spoilers Alien: Earth Spoiler Thread

One question that hasn't been asked by the characters is how in the world does Schroedinger's Plant move around? I found it so odd/interesting that it was initially found attached to the ceiling in one of the Maginot's hallways. It certainly has capabilities we aren't privy to yet.

My guess is that its "petals" or "leaves" are actually wings. In other words, we're looking at a big tentacled bat hanging from the ceiling.

Speaking of the xenomorph, I have been leery of Wendy being able to talk to them, especially to control them. So I'm heartened a bit by Wendy saying she "thinks" she knows what they're saying, but isn't sure. I am hoping this relationship turns out to be like the ones where people have "pet" chimpanzees, tigers or lions that eventually maul or kill family members. A juvenile xenomorph in the lab should be very different out in the wild, surrounded by prey. I still think Wendy is likely to walk away from this season more or less intact, but I expect -- and hope -- that her illusions about the xenomorph don't survive the season finale.

Strong agree to everything in your post and want to highlight this specific part. As mature as Wendy presents, she is definitely still a child. This feeds her illusions on the xenomorph itself and lack of understanding towards its biological nature as well as the callousness she displayed when she released her "pet" and the poor red-shirt security and cleaning crews got theirs. Anyone in her way is expendable but then she is forced to confront that reality (and have that bubble burst) when her brother shoots/stuns Nibs. Things aren't as simple as she thinks they are and she's having that moment of realization there while she tries to fathom what Hermit just did.

It will definitely be interesting to see a scene where the juvenile xeno chooses to ignore her because of its nature. Perhaps Arthur's chestburster will play a factor in that equation.

Yeah, I think the Hermit siblings are headed for an irreconcilable break in their relationship. That might actually point to both of them surviving and roaming Earth next season with different agendas.

yeah its cool we have this nice span of moralities among the kids.

Slightly is really guilt driven over his decisions.
Wendy actually has a pretty cold streak, and seems aware of her actions but continues to kill.
Nibs has basically a psychotic break and isn't in full touch with reality. (side note: Nibs in the last season said she remembered everything, and was clearly still messed up. Did she recover her memories....did someone put them back?)

You can say that honestly, Wendy is the worst of the bunch, a cold blooded killer when it suits her.

She's in denial. As I recall, someone directly asked her about something after she said that and she clearly didn't remember what they were referencing.
