Alien: Earth could have been good...but it wasn't...and I took that personally

In this (emotional) breakdown, let's chat about this show’s greatest strengths — honestly good worldbuilding, meaty questions which only science and speculative fiction are equipped to explore — and how it expertly avoids DOING ANYTHING with them. An unscripted, sloppy, but earnest tour through abandoned ideas, the existential pain of the idiot plot, and the abandonment of the coolest ideas it posits. Think of it as a TED Talk for disappointment.
