This post contains spoilers For the premiere of the two episodes of FX at Alien: Earth, as well as the Silo season of the Apple TV season.

Which pop culture will our future survive? Many works of art have tried to answer this question before, by Ann Washburn Mind-Budging, "Simpsons"-published stage drama "Mr. Burns, Post-Electric Performance" Shakespeare-Ovingy "Star Ways" At Apple TV's "Silo", what builds its plot drama Around the illegal "relics" as a children's book.

This question about the endurance of pop culture is important and provocative thinking, but I have never seen answers as strange as those given by Naha Holly's new series "Alien", Alien: Country. Only in the first two episodes, the show - which is at least partially set up in 2120 - at least a dozen different references to Peter Pan by JM Bari and his Disney colleague. It's all good and good for a show for human search for eternal youth, but each episode also ends with its own non-sector musical sector traveling in time, from Black Sabbath's "Top Rules" to the tool's "scyst". The main characters of the show, probably born in the future, show encyclopedic knowledge of 20th -century Big League baseball.

However, the most unlikely, the show tasked with continuing the legacy of Ridley Scott's classic of 1979 and its numerous snap and sequels is obsessed with "Ice Age 4: Continental Draft". Like, Really obsessed.

To be fair to Holly and the team behind Alien: Earth, it's actually protagonist Wendy (Sydney Chandler) who is hung on the animated sequel in 2012. Wendy is told early in the show that it is the first "hybrid" in the world, human consciousness involved in a synthetic body. She is a girl who seems to have about 12 years in the body of twenty -somewhere superhuman, and this should lead to a strange sense of arrested. In the case of Wendy, it tends to come out when she seeks comfort among her legion of stuffed animal friends, with whom he often sees - you have guessed - "Ice Age: Continental Drift".

Howley, the creative force behind the Fargo Anthology of FF and the three-season Mindf ** K that was "Legion", is not alien references to bizarre pop culture. Only last year he dropped the cover of Marilyn Manson on "This is Halloween", originally from the Stop-Movement Film Festival "Nightmare before Christmas", in Extremely tense scene in Fargo, And that choice would still not make the first five most electrical Easter eggs shown in his work to this day. Bit "Ice Age", however, partly because it plays so seriously in the show. As we find out more about Wendy and her human brother Hermit (Alex Lowter), it is revealed that one of their cherished children's memories involves watching the film together and joking in a joke in which Sid Slot (Johnon Leguzamo) mixes the words "rage" and "fur".

There is no doubt more about the "Ice Age" memory than it corresponds to the eye. The children had clearly had a tightened relationship with their father, and Wendy ended up extremely ill and lived in Prodigy's headquarters, without the opportunity to return home, just years after this memory with pink eclipse. Was this one of the only good times he had with his brother? In the stage with retrospective placed just a day before the ship reunited by the couple crashed into a new apartment complex Siam, Wendy also manipulated a robot in a government building to quote her brother's film. It seems that the hermit recognizes the line "Have Heart or Face My Fur", and the moment aims to be much poetry and hearty than you expected to call a movie With a score of 37% rotten tomatoes.

Thematically, there are not much to be "continental floating" on Alien: Earth (although both are now owned by Disney subsidiary), but it is also possible for the film to be released later. The timeframe of the show is already deliberately ambiguous, with potentially large gaps at an unknown time between the initial scenes of the Vayland-Schiutani ship and the accident, as well as a dark time layout that surrounded Wendy's years on the island of Neverland. The headlines on the screen make it clear that the debut of the spacecraft and the Xenomorph debut Two years before the original film "Alien"In 2120, but pop culture calls Hermit and Wendy remember everything from the 1970s to the 2010. The home decor and TV set in Wendy's memory are not particularly modern. Is it possible for them to be about much longer than we think, or that their memories are false?

Maybe so, but this may also simply be another case of art that imitates life. After all, Healey grew in the 1970s, while his son Lev, who According to the deadline Makes his acting debut on the show, born in the 2010s-not too long after an animated sequel to Pleistocene made his debut on a big screen. Which pop culture will endure in the future? Maybe it's just that we've grown up.

New episodes of "Alien: Country" FX and Julu's fall on Tuesday at 8pm.
