After surviving the Engineers on LV-223, the Halloweenies make their way to Origae-6 for a new life in a new frontier. Along the way, they receive a strange distress signal from the year 2017. What they uncover is Ridley Scott‘s Prometheus sequel, Alien: Covenant.
Together, the gang discuss the lost sequels that would back up into 1979’s Alien, Michael Fassbender‘s fantastic dual roles as David & Walter, the design of the Neomorphs for better or worse, deleted scenes, the tough-looking finale, and whether they wanted this arc to continue.
