This article contains spoilers For the final of Alien: Earth Season 1.

Protagonist of "Alien: Earth" It may be Wendy, aka Marcy (Sydney Chandler), and the main villain may be CEO of Prodigy Corp Boy Cavalier (Samuel Blenkin), but the most interesting character dynamic in the show, which probably does not include one. Most of the story of Season 1 "Alien: Country" follows the hybrid children of the Neiland facilitywhose minds are transmitted from their terminal painful bodies of readiness in immortal synthetic adult bodies. During this season, we have seen many of the disturbing consequences of that procedure, but the final escalates the conflict to show complete military conflict between Prodigy and rival Wayland-Schiutani corporation.

That corporate rivalry has been personified throughout the season by the individual rivalry between two accompanying characters: Bludidigian Android and Scientist Kirsch (Timothy Oliphant) and a loyalist of Vayland-Schiutani and Cyborg More (Babu Ceysay). The two cross -tracks early in the show, and from the jump it is clear that they do not love each other. This is partly due to their appropriate corporate loyalty, but it has more to do with scientific racism. Cyborg hates Android, and Android hates cyborg, both declaring their supremacy as the future of the human race.

In the season finals, this ideological rivalry becomes physical, with tomorrow and Kirsch is released into a brutal hand to hand in the Neoloyland lab, which leaves both close to death. Although they only spend a few scenes together throughout the season, this climate battle is one of the most interesting components of the final, and the show should absolutely continue to explore rivalry in season 2.

More than foreigners themselves, as the name of the show would suggest, "Alien: Earth" is about human consciousness. It is a very classic scientific story in its root, showing several different ideas on how the futuristic "man" might look like. Androids-or synthetics, as they are called in the show-have incredibly strong bodies and very advanced minds, which are also capable of certain forms of emotions, but they are fully made by man, and therefore do not have certain inexpressible elements of mankind. Cibers are opposite - people who allow their bodies and minds to be changed with robotics and computers until they become something very different, but still retain their origin as completely organic people.

"Look at you," Kirch says tomorrow in Episode 6. " Almost Human, self-hatred machine. How do you have to envy me. "Tomorrow is coming back quickly, calling Kirsch" yesterday's model, an incredibly irrelevant robot "and later" old toy ". The conversation, conducted in the elevator after a meeting between the leaders of Prodigy and Wayland-Schiutani, is quickly transmitted to grotesque pockets and counter-public things about how much he kills members of another race.

So clearly, there is no LOVEUS lost.

With Prodigy hybrids eventually make outdated both cyborgs and AndroidsKirsch also seems to fight for the wave of history tomorrow, trying to argue as a necessary job for the future. Tomorrow even refers to how he could theoretically get one of the fully synthetic bodies for himself, because he has a human mind - something that would not really be possible for a complete synthet. And yet, both men are still the same type of corporate ruling class, left to fight against each other, while richer interests are simply as tools.

While they get some great moments in Season 1, culminating in their frenetic brawl in the season finals, Kirsch and tomorrow deserve more in the spotlight in the Alien: Earth season. For one thing, Oliphant and Jaisay deliver two of the best performances, with each other. There is also so much entertaining thematic material tied to that respect to the character, from the tension of the different paths of artificial human evolution to the loyalty loyalty that the country's megacorps require.

"This is not over," Kirsch told Kirsch tomorrow after being captured by Prodigy soldiers at the end of episode 7. "Nothing is so far," Kirsch responds. It's a vague, a little confusing answer. Maybe he just says he enjoys holding out, but with the artificial longevity possessed by both characters - an example of them literally beating each other to death in the finals of the season and still survived - the line can also be read as a kind of declaration of hope that things will go to an era when death is at least.
