Spoilers Alien: Earth Spoiler Thread

It could also be Wendy (if only by virtue of her namesake character in Peter Pan making it back to London in the end) but continuity tells me I shouldn’t keep my hopes up…
Wendy, or any of the Lost Boys, could presumably just walk away at the end. They're part of a secret project and I don't know that anyone will know to be looking for hybrids if most of the featured characters die over the next few episodes. A self-directed high-end android with human memories and a human personality could probably hide pretty well in the Alien universe, especially if she retains her super-hacking powers.

Is this a one and done series?
They haven't made any statements suggesting it is, despite extensive interviews. It hasn't been renewed for an S2 but I expect that it will be. I suspect Disney is just waiting until all eight episodes are out to announce it so it doesn't act as "spoilers". Journalists who saw 6/8 episodes didn't seem to think it was a one-off, but maybe things go really pear-shaped in the last two episodes.

Further, episodes 3 & 4 seemed to be focused on setting up a lot of different plot strands and characters, and unless episodes 5-8 are basically pure action (and we know they're not, as at least one is allegedly mostly a flashback to what actually happened on the Maginot) I don't see any way those get resolved in four episodes.
 

Also trouble is that Boy Kavalier seems to be motivated by envy of anyone getting more attention than him from hostile alien life forms. It'll be great to see something terrible happen to him, of course, so no loss there. His extremely on the nose Peter Pan stuff is another good reason to kill him off. Dude's a trillionaire and doesn't seem to be able to afford a subtext.
I loved how utterly cringe it was when he was trying to fit actual events to the narrative of Peter Pan, because I've actually seen people try and do that sort of thing and it's like, insufferable unless it's fully a joke and you're all in on it. He's such a creep!

Morrow was fantastic as ever, that Babou Ceesay is so good at like, even positioning his tongue in his half-open mouth to like, give you information about the character.

Hermit definitely feels lost and overwhelmed by all of this. We'll see if he lives through all of this. I'd say there's a good chance he doesn't.
I will be astonished if he makes it out of these events. I'll be slightly surprised if he survives this season unless he gets uploaded to an android body by Wendy/Marcy, given how Slightly was looking at him ("Hmmm maybe this wimpy and manipulable dude is the one I can use").

(which I could have sworn were typically called "androids" in this franchise)
Nah they've been called synthetics forever as the "technical term", but android is also used a bit, seemingly as a more general term.
 

That new predator show had the alien corpo android or synthetic. And this show has a little bladerunner in it. I think hermit is going to get even more cybernetics(not necessarily by choice).

Plot twist: Hermit and Morrow are the same character after bionic enhancements and time travel!
