Well, of course I got my Xeno then. And what a powerful, stunning one! 👽😮🤩 But what I didn't expect was, that I also got a well thought through plot and a bunch of very interesting new deep characters with intriguing backstories and relationships. I'm really looking forward to see how all of their destinies will unfold!

And on top of it all: The setting guys?! I immediately felt like my 12 year old self again watching the first Alien movie for the very first time! The whole atmosphere is just phenomenally retro! That space ship looks exactly the same as the Nostromo! And the camera shots... the lighting... even the music... EVERYTHING felt so eerily familiar, I had goosebumps from the start! So they did a really good job on the whole opening sequence and its details and even managed to imbed it into that new setting on earth that looks very technical (but also very 80s technical if you know what I mean, everything feels so retro!🤩👏🏻👌🏻) .

Those creators LOVE the original movie from the 70s! You can see that in every frame! It basically BREATHES Alien!

And I already know that I will prefer it 100% to the prequels Promotheus and Covenant. Romulus was ok imo, it just wasn't mindblowing. But that is something Alien: Earth can still achieve for me, if the storyline stays as intriguing as in the first two episodes.

Wendy and her brother are killing me... softly.😭💔 Being a synth she's even more human than some of the actual humans seem to be. I really want her and the "lost boys" to be safe and happy... I don't want to lose them...

Long story short: I was positively surprised. It's definitely worth a watch. But beware, this is Alien. And it's very gory sometimes. But it's not really Alien if there isn't any gore there.

The Most Beautiful Blooms

Flowers are beautiful

Dainty, delicate, joyful

Sprouting from seeds cocooned in cozy soil

Lifting their heads up

Seeing a bright blue sky, cloudless

Given everything they need

They grow, gracefully

And share joy

And we love them for this

But what about the other flowers

The ones that have no warm soil burrow

The ones dropped out of a pocket onto the cold pavement

The ones whose lives begin in a compost heap

Surrounded by waste

When they finally gather all their strength

To wearily rise and seek the sun

They’re greeted by a blanket of grey clouds

And they weep

They could’ve been beautiful

What a waste

And yet

Sometimes the most striking bloom

Isn’t the rose

Perfectly smooth and perfectly pink

In the florist’s window

Sometimes the blossoms peeking out

Of cracks in the pavement

Are the ones that draw the biggest smiles

The subjects of stunning photographs

The things remembered at the end of long days

The ones that are more than beautiful

The ones that give hope

So hang on

Stretch out your roots and stand tall

State up at the storm and cry if you need

But remember

The sun hasn’t gone away

It’s just covered

Just for now

Know that you’ve survived

All the storms you’ve seen

And that you’re still here

And know that it means something

It means you’re strong

It means you’re growing

It means you can do this

It means you have hope

And all you’ve got to do to see it

Is look down at the pavement

It means you’re beautiful

You couldn’t pinpoint when exactly Hunter became an integral part of your life. Maybe it was when he herded his brothers off to bed so you could sit together in comforting silence after a long and stressful day. Maybe it was when you unconsciously memorized his preferences in food and drink when you all weren’t stuck with rations. Or maybe it was when woke up in the middle of the night just minutes after Hunter, recognizing even in your sleep when he was distressed.

Whenever that moment was, it brought you to the realization that knowing him had changed you forever. While you’d always been withdrawn and closed off from others, you never felt that way with Hunter. He could get you talking like no one else could. If you were troubled, he eased your burdens with even just a listening ear. You no longer knew the person you were before you knew him, as if you’d been saving the most comfortable version of yourself just for him.

You tried to tell him as much a few weeks after you noticed it. You were just laying down to rest, listening to the snores coming from the rest of the Bad Batch to make sure they wouldn’t interrupt your conversation. Hunter could tell you had something on your mind as he wrapped an arm around you and asked you to share it with him.

“I’ve been figuring out that you’re the single most important person in the galaxy to me. I love your brothers of course, but no one compares to you. I can’t imagine any version of my life that you aren’t in, and I’m glad. I don’t think a life without you would be nearly as worth living.”

Hunter squeezed softly as he pulled you closer, his silent reminder that he loved you. The gesture made you smile in the dark.

“And, more than that, I can’t imagine who I would be without you. I think some small, stubborn part of me wanted to save the best of myself for someone truly special. Someone like you.”

You distinctly heard a sniffle when you fell silent again. You glanced up to see a confused expression on Hunter’s face. He hadn’t made the sound.

“Wrecker, is that you?”

Hunter’s quiet question was answered with a quiet “no” and another sniffle. Wrecker had always been the sweetest of the Bad Batch and the only one that never made even joking remarks about your more tender exchanges with his sergeant. You buried your face in Hunter’s chest to stifle your involuntary giggle at Wrecker’s attempt to cover for himself.

“Love you, Wrecker.”

“We both do. Now go to sleep.”

Hunter’s command was followed by snoring from Tech and Crosshair. Wrecker joined them in slumber soon after. Once all was quiet again, Hunter ran a hand up and down your arm.

“I love you, cyare. Always have, always will. And as far as life goes, neither of us have to worry about being apart. No power in the galaxy could separate us forever.”
