Alien has always been, above all, a franchise for horror. The science fiction aspect of the film can shine brighter for those of us who are prone to that genre (guilty), but uncertainty, scares and monsters are greater than the wide construction of science, which tends to take the background of films more than the front. Perhaps the reason why Ridley Scott's "Prometheus" shared the fan base so significantly because it brought more scientific stories as synthetic consciousness, corporate politics and ancient foreigners in the forefront.

New FX series "Alien: Country" Does that, with the meat of its story, focus on Androids, cibers and The experimental "hybrids" of the Prodigy Corporation. You still play a key role, but it's not up to the 5-episode of retrospectives, explaining what happened to the magin-that we get a full story about film-style horror.

Episode 5 is basically a standalone "alien" short film, and it is one of the best episodes of the show. The episode is primarily followed by Magin Safety Officer Moor (Babu Ceysay), as he works to reveal the identity of the crew of the ship, as long as that sabotage begins to allow different samples of their cages. While we get very classic chicks and killing, the true horror of the episode is in the further research of the corporate society of the show. Tomorrow as our eyes, we see in detail how much brutal life is under the autocratic corporate rule of the show, which essentially turns slaves employees into a whim of their wealthy prevailers. Of course, you may have missed some of these details, as they are included in tomorrow's daughter's letters - to require several complete processing breaks.

In the middle of episode 5 "Alien: Earth", tomorrow he takes a moment in his quarters, where he reads what seems to be letters from his daughter Estel Fax through space to the magin. Since it is a 65-year mission, he will miss most of her life no matter what, but the letters reveal that she died in a fire for just a few years in the journey, throwing some light on Merow's state of constant anger. Although it is obviously a tragedy, other details hidden in the letters are probably the more terrible parts.

"Mom says Vayland-Jutani will pay for my entire school," Estel writes in a letter talking about watching colleges. "That's if I go to the Way-Yu sanctioned school. In the same letter, she mentions to learn that her classmates only receive partial scholarships, revealing More's importance in the company.

On the face, this may not sound too crazy, but think about it for a minute. This is essentially assumed by the broken system of health care in the United States - the one where covered covers are constantly denied and it seems that real care is always "out of the network" - and applies it to another basic need: education. We have seen nowadays Timeline "Alien: Country" That medical debts and work contracts can basically ensure people of their respective corporations for their whole lives. How expensive would the college education be for someone whose father did not do 65 years of his life in the outside space? What about families who have no corporate contracts at all? It is safe to assume that housing, health, perhaps even access to food and clean water are dependent on corporate fidelity. After all, when the corpus possesses everything, why not ask for everything from our citizens in exchange?

Estel's letters paint a dark image of the earth under a corporate rule, but the magn's crew shows an even worse side of things. They are not paid in money, by themselves, but in the company's stock. And how many actions, maybe you will ask? For someone to reduce the chain of command, one quarter share for 65 years of their life. It's a terrible, almost funny compensation, but hey, that's money, right?

Here's something, however: paying a stock employee, instead of cash, effectively retains them in addition to eternity. How good is the value of Vayland-Jutani, if you want to move to a city driven by another corporation? It is the ultimate extrapolation of Town Company, where workers are given tokens to spend them on the company store and put housing in the company, but without real means to ever escape, as Rick and Morti would set up, slavery with additional steps.

Because corporations spend trillion dollars trying to make life synthetically, organic life is suffering, drained by shame of living and society that removes all margins for upward dynamics. It is cyberpunk dystopia that can feel a little more fantastic if it was not so depressed comparable to our current moment.
