    Alien: Earth: Season 1 Wrap Up
    Oct 1 2025
    This week, Da7e and Neil close out their coverage of Alien: Earth season 1 with a season wrap up pod.

    In The Calm [05:42], they discuss some unanswered questions from the first season, read a few interesting listener theories, and hand out some end-of-season superlatives.

    Then in The Storm [01:07:58], they make their final predictions for a (still) theoretical season two and speculate one last time about whether we'll see an Alien/Predator crossover any time soon.

    Next week, Storm of Spoilers is off as the pod shifts gears, but will return the following week to begin preparations for It: Welcome to Derry, which premieres on HBO at the end of October.

    This week's episode is sponsored by Alien: Rogue Incursion - Evolved Edition, coming September 30th to consoles and PC.

    Next week, Da7e and Neil return for an Alien: Earth season one wrap-up episode.

    This week, Da7e and Neil head for the docks as Alien: Earth unleashes the penultimate episode of its first season.

    In The Calm [06:08], they attempt to determine which character will be "introduced to" The Eye, debate the limits of the hybridization process, and give a name to the newly-birthed member of Team Aliens.

    Then in The Storm [01:08:08], they break down the teaser for the season finale, "The Real Monsters," and piece together what little is known about how the season will end. And one last time, they predict whether there will be any Predator easter eggs before the season ends.

    Sep 10 2025
    This week, Da7e and Neil are stepping very carefully into the secure lab to feed the specimens as the first season of Alien: Earth continues to escalate.

    In The Calm [04:58], they consider which human characters they are still rooting for, question whether Wendy can actually communicate with the Xenomorph, and begin to wonder what kinds of safeguards are built into Kirsh's programming.

    Then in The Storm [01:13:14], your faithful hosts make their predictions for what will be the big showdowns of the final two episodes and check-in with their ongoing theories about where and when a Predator easter egg might appear.

    Sep 4 2025
    This week, Da7e and Neil are in your feeds a day later than usual because there's a saboteur running around setting fire to their space ship!

    In The Calm [06:16], they dig into Alien: Earth's big flashback episode as director Noah Hawley delivers his own Alien mini-movie about the plight of the USCSS Maginot. They question whether 65 years of one's life is worth a quarter share, worry about the workplace safety practices of Weyland-Yutani scientists, and present several wild theories about Morrow's motivations.

    Then in The Storm [01:17:50], your faithful hosts break down the trailer for episode 6, "The Wasp," before considering the possible endgame for Wendy's character and the Alien comic that could serve as inspiration for a wild twist.

    This week, Da7e and Neil are maintaining a safe distance as things on Neverland island grow increasingly unsafe for organic lifeforms.

    In The Calm [07:50], they consider which characters might be primed to join Team Xenomorph as the Prodigy corporation abuses its power, revisit the early 2000s sensation that was The Snuggie, and attempt to get inside the mind of Timothy Olyphant's Kirsh.

    Then in The Storm [01:19:30], they break down the teaser for next week's Noah Hawley-directed flashback episode. Plus, Da7e adds some important context about LV-426 and its neighboring moons.

    This week, Da7e and Neil are trapped in a shipping container with a Xenomorph as Alien: Earth continues its barrage of world-building.

    In The Calm [07:38], they attempt to draw more parallels to J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan, discuss the lore surrounding the Prodigy corporation, and advocate for workers' rights like... [checks notes] not giving a corporation the power to remove your body parts without your consent.

    Then, in The Storm [01:23:16], they dig into the teaser for episode 4 and become immediately concerned for the safety of at least one Lost Boy. And they revisit the question of whether there's going to be any Predator stuff in this show.

    Then, in The Storm [01:23:44], they unpack the "Coming Up This Season" trailer to get a sense of how the season will be paced and predict whether or not we'll meet a Yautja along the way.
