The critics agree that Alien: Earth is a thought-provoking success, and one that brings the vibes of Ridley Scott's OG classic to television in a fantastic way. Even as someone who hasn't seen every Alien movie, I enjoy what Noah Hawley has done with this series, and it's already ranking up there with some of the best sci-fi television I've seen in a long time.
That being said, as a Star Trek fan, its success is making my heart hurt. Don't get me wrong, I love what my beloved franchise is doing so far, and I eagerly await upcoming Trek projects in the future, but damn would it have been nice had executives been able to bring Alien: Earth's creator into the fold when there was a chance.
