The trajectory of the series took a backward journey to explore the events leading to the activities aboard The Maginot, the Weyland-Yutani spaceship which has managed to secure a plethora of exotic alien species.

Once again, it was a pleasure to revisit some of the familiar interiors of the ship which bring us back to their origins in the film “Alien” (1979). It seems that we even manage to summon up memories of “Alien: Resurrection” (1997) what with some of the wise cracking characters and flippant attitude encountered with The Maginot’s ship’s doctor. I thought the jaded attitude was a bit extreme and misplaced but then we only get to spend a few charming moments with him before his aborted “operation”.

Overall, I prefer the crew of The Nostromo. I think one of the things striking things about this series as we are well past the half way mark in the season is that there is not a character on the show that I truly care about. Probably because I am too jaded myself.
