We discuss it all in spoiler filled detail on our latest podcast.Alien Earth Episode 5 "In Space, No One..." DetailsBased on Characters created by Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett and H.R. Geiger.Episode Written and Directed by Showrunner Noah HawleySpoiler filled synopsis: In space, the USCSS Maginot is seventeen days from Earth. Junior security officer Clem wakes Morrow from cryosleep and tells him there has been a fire in one of the containment rooms. In the commotion two facehuggers have escaped and latched upon the ship's captain Dinsdale and science officer Bronski. A failed attempt by medical officer Rahim, to remove the facehugger from Captain Dinsdale's face has led to his death from the facehugger's acidic blood. After being told by engineer Shmuel that the ship's navigational systems were also damaged in the fire, Morrow concludes that a crew member is either incompetent or has sabotaged the ship. Executive officer Zaveri assumes command of the ship, but Morrow threatens to relieve her if she does not prioritize the creatures above the crew. With a facehugger still attached, Bronski is placed in cryo-sleep to prevent the gestation of the Xenomorph, but this fails as the creature continues to grow inside him. In science officer Chibuzo's lab, one leech specimen manages to open its test tube from the inside, and lays its larvae in her water bottle. Witnessing this, the Ocellus also escapes after Chibuzo fails to seal its containment vessel. Meanwhile, after being called to an emergency meeting in the mess, apprentice engineer Malachite drinks the water, and the larvae cause him to cough up blood In the medbay, Malachite along with Chibuzo and Rahim are killed by the leeches' defensive toxic gas and the Maginot’s quarantine procedures when trying to extract the leeches from Malachite. Witnessing this, Zavari is in shock and Morrow relieves her of command. After being interrogated by Morrow, creepy navigation officer Teng is killed by the fully-grown Xenomorph. Elsewhere onboard, Chief engineer Petrovich is revealed to be behind the sabotage of the Maginot at the order of Boy Kavalier, who promises him a hybrid body and more wealth than he can imagine if the ship crashes in Prodigy territory. Petrovich kills Clem and is in turn killed by Morrow, who retreats to the control room and seals himself in. Zaveri is killed by the Xenomorph outside the control room door. With everyone dead, Morrow locks himself in the impact room and awaits the crash. Back in the present, Morrow meets with Yutani, reiterating his promise to retrieve the specimens by force and kill Boy Kavalier.THE CAST OF ALIEN EARTHSamuel Blenkin - Boy KavalierBabou Ceesay - MorrowSandra Yi Sencindiver - YutaniRicha Moorjani - ZaverniSandra Yi Sencindiver - YutaniAmir Boutrous - RahimKaren Aldridge - ChibuzoMichael Smiley - SchmuelJamie Bisping - MalachiteAndy Yu - Mr. TengMax Rinehart - BronskiEnzo Cilenti - PetrovitchTom Moya - ClemContact us and subscribe to the podcastThank you so much for listening to our Alien Earth Podcast.
