Geiger.Episode written and directed by Showrunner Noah HawleySpoiler filled synopsis: In 2120, five companies control Earth and the colonized Solar System, including the recently founded Prodigy Corporation. The USCSS Maginot, a Weyland-Yutani C-class deep space research vessel, approaches Earth after a 65-year expedition to obtain extra-terrestrial specimens, among them facehuggers. On Earth, at Prodigy's Neverland research island, a terminally ill child named Marcy becomes the first hybrid, having her consciousness transferred to an adult synthetic, and renames herself Wendy after the character from Peter Pan.Adjusting to her new body with the assistance of Lady Sylvia and synthetic mentor Kirsh, Wendy guides and oversees several other children who undergo the procedure. A malfunction compromises the Maginot's navigation, placing it on a collision course with Earth. Some specimens get loose, and a grown Xenomorph kills most of the crew, with the exception of security officer Morrow who sacrifices a member of the crew and uses Mother's impact room to survive the impending crash and the Xenomorph.The ship crashes into a tower in Prodigy City, New Siam, where Wendy's human brother Joe DiMaggio works as a medic and corporate soldier, with the tag Hermit. CEO Boy Kavalier asserts the Maginot's contents now belong to Prodigy, and deploys Kirsh, Wendy, and the other hybrids to assist with search and rescue and to test their enhanced capabilities. Security officer Morrow, who survived the crash in a reinforced panic room, moves to protect the cargo and go after the fugitive specimens. He detains two Prodigy soldiers, who are killed by a leech-like specimen. As Wendy and Kirsch fly towards New Siam with the other hybrids, collectively called the Lost Boys, she remarks to Kirsh that she wants to save her brother from death.THE CAST OF ALIEN EARTHSydney Chandler - WendyAlex Lawther - Hermit/JoeEssie Davis - Dame SylviaSamuel Blenkin - Boy KavalierBabou Ceesay - MorrowAdarsh Gourav - SlightlyErana James - CurlyLily Newmark - NibsJonathan Ajayi - SmeeDavid Rysdahl - Arthur SylviDiêm Camille - SiberianMoe Bar-El - RashidiAdrian Edmondson - Atom EinsTimothy Olyphant - KirshContact us and subscribe to the podcastThank you so much for listening to o
