Spoilers Next for the latest episode of "Alien: Country".

"Alien: The Earth" of Noah Holly is remarkable for several reasons, one of which is that it does not cost (so far) to be all that is dealing with the prolongation of the "foreign" franchise. To be sure, it is not trying to strengthen it all away, nor; Two years before Alien, the series is clearly trying to have its visual aesthetic stick closely next to Ridley Scott's film in 1979. Nowhere is this more obvious than the production design of the USCSS Maginot, the ship whose convicted mission and the crash on Earth begins the show's action. While Holly and other directors of the series certainly impose their own characteristic styles of recording and cutting their episodes, the design of the production and lighting of the magin deliberately and constantly remembers Nostromo from Scott's film. Indeed, "foreign" references feel at the same time for the property course, especially after Last year's Alien: Romulus was full of knots on almost every other "foreign" movie so far.

However, "Alien: Earth" may have additional reasons for maintaining a magl so similar to Nostromo. For one thing, Holly seems to invite numerous direct comparisons between characters and situations in the "Earth" with the "alien films". For example, the only survivor of the Magin is tomorrow (Babu Ceysay), a person who loses a child while outside in space and sees the Wayland-Antani Corporation as a spent, all of which makes Ellen Ripley. For another thing, the series seems to be referring to the aspects of "alien" Oreubov that have not previously spread from the films. One of these topics is the hierarchy and political situation of the country itself, especially in terms of the Wayland-Schiutani corporation and its continuous influence. So, while "Alien: Earth" certainly seems to be primarily dealing with her own stand-alone characters and story, it may be planned to explain how Valeand-Schiutani has become such a majority power in the future of the "foreign" franchise, and the magina's mission can be crucial.

Even before digging where the magin comes from, the choice of name itself breaks down with a "foreign" tradition. Most of the names of the spaceships in the Alien Universe come from the works of Josephosef Conrad, thanks to Scott chosen by Nostromo's name for the first film ship, which was taken over by Conrad's novel in 1904 of the same name. When the Jamesiyes Cameron made the "aliens", he continued with respect to Conrad Scott and took the name Sulaco from the city in the same novel for his film's main ship. Although "Alien 3" does not take place on a spaceship, the company's ship sent to Ripley is called a road, a ship in Conrad Jimim's novel. Therefore, Conrad's references have ended for some time, with "Alien: Resurrection" calling their Auriga ship after the seaside (and it's not a Vayland-Juvan ship, as well as), and ships in "Prometheus" and "Alien: a covenant" with the names of the same name. Alien: Romulus had both ways; Its primary space station is named for the Roman figures of the mythology Romulus and Reims, and the spacecraft in the film is called Corbalan, which is the name of another character in Konrad's "Nostrom".

For "Alien: Earth", Noah Holly deliberately avoids naming her spaceship on the character of Josephosef Conrad, indicating that a given moniker on the ship is more weighty than can be expected. The name Magin is very likely to call the French minister of war in real life during the 20s, Andre Magin, a man who was best known for fueling a project known as the Magin line. The project has tried to establish fortifications, obstacles and weapons installations to prevent the invasion of Nazi Germany during the early days of World War II. Unfortunately, the line was not over as planned, and there were enough weaknesses that German troops were able to cover up, helping to invade France and allied forces seeking evacuation. In short, the failure of the Magin line resulted in a disaster, enough that The name itself referred to a "defensive barrier or strategy that inspires a false sense of security". Thus, the USCSS Maginot in "Alien: The Earth" was condemned to condemnation as soon as it was baptized, and Xenomorph was lost on the craft and causing a landfill in the middle of the populated city it should not have been so surprising to Vayland-Schiutani.

But while the name Magin could simply be a false call for a bad journey on the ship, there is a potentially another reason for his name, the one that Valeand-Schiutani may have had intended. Although the Magin's mission (which, unlike Nostromo, seems to be open to his team) to obtain and transport xenomorph eggs on Earth is the one who is the one who is Basically was the primary interest of Wayland-Jutani within the entire "foreign" franchiseWe have never received an explanation of why the company so badly loves an alien. Of course, the idea of ​​an unscrupulous corporation that wants to strengthen the Bioweapon market does not need too much elaboration, but "Alien: Earth" paints a larger political image than just corporate greed. We are told in the stage of episode 4, "Understanding", that the old world's system of individual governments "did not work" and that five corporations came to power instead: fornication, Vayland-Schiutani, threshold, dynamic and lynching. Until we have seen a lot of the last three companies in the series (still), the obvious competitiveness and the animosity between Prodigy and Vayland-Jutani implies that the relationship between the five is not so friendly.

Looking at the USCSS Maginot not only the xenomorph, but also four other brazen, aggressive alien species, it seems that Valeand-Antani is doing more than just collecting or building a zoo. Five killers of foreign organisms and five major corporations could be ironic allegories, but it may also indicate that Valeland-Schiutani is actively preparing for war with other corporations, and decided to make these deadly creatures as a basic weapon, perhaps because of their history with Prometheus. After all, we still do not know where all these species have been taken; Maybe the mag visited the planet 4 after the covenant, or maybe David 8 eventually made it to Origa-6 and did even more perverted scientific experimentation there. Everything we know from the future "foreign" installments is that Valeland-Juthani seems to have a majority control over the country, operating places like a Gateway station and are so ubiquitous that the characters refer to it as "company", not as one of the five. In addition, although Prodigi's hybrids seem to be a priority for Cavalier (Samuel Blankin) exclusively for his own entertainment, he may secretly consider his company's primary weapon in the next conflict. Regardless of the case, it is a safe bet that in the future of the "foreign" universe, people will end up screaming, whether they are in space or Earth.
