Episode 6, The Fly is probably one of the strongest episodes yet, packed with tension and some crazy stuff happening both on the sci fi and political aspects, but I have to admin writing has been slipping from time to time but cant ask much about a tv series based on a franchise with decades of existing. After all that buildup were finally seeing the chaos start to unfold on this island and man do things get messy quick with the lost boys going down, one "dead", another crazy, another getting blackmail, another thats basically worthless but who knows might safe the day and then there is Wendy on her own journey as Xenomorph Queen. The episode starts with Wendy trying to talk to the baby Xenomorph, which by the way looks incredible since we starting to watch more of the hole Xenomorph development as they grow. This thing has grown from that tiny chest burster we saw before into something thats still small but way more dangerous looking and have an attitude too, the way Wendy sits there making those clicking sounds trying to communicate with this apex species is completely nuts. She really thinks she can make friends with these things and maybe shes right but it still feels like playing with fire and gasoline on her hands, this can backfire so quick but at least we know she can kill one. The Xenomorph actually responds to her too, which is wild to think about, these creatures have their own language and social structure apparently, kind of like bees or ants as Wendy puts it. Her brother Joe is not having any of this though, he keeps telling her these things are just killers but Wendy pushes back saying humans kill too, I dont see error on her logic lol, she got a point there even if its making everyone uncomfortable or her opinion been to extremist too. The way she talks about the creatures never choosing to come to Earth really fits the idea of them be either scared or defensive, like they are prisoners just like the hybrids in a way but might be worst as its against their will without option, probably with the T Ocellus might be piss at the hole situation, that sheep looks mad af. That whole conversation between Wendy and Joe about saying yes versus saying no was pretty heavy, especially when Joe tells her that sometimes saying no is the only thing that gives you power over your life but Wendys starting to question everything about Prodigy and what theyre really doing on this island, although she still remains on the Yes camp with Boy Kavalier after all he is the one making all this possible and she is having all of it, she is totally facinated with the Xenomorph.
