The Earth hides the darkest horror in the sight (not xenomorph)

“Alien” was always, first and foremost, a horror privilege. The science fiction of the film may shine more brighter for those of us more inclined to this particular kind (guilty), but suspense, fear, and monsters waving the horizon of building the wide scientific world, which tends to occupy the background of films more than the introduction. Perhaps the reason behind the Ridley Scott “Prometheus” is largely divided into the base of fans is that it brought science fiction stories such as artificial awareness and the policy of companies and old foreigners in the foreground.

The new FX series “Alien: Earth” Is this too, with the concentration of meat of its story on Andridus, Ciborss, and The experimental “hybrid” of Prodigy Corporation. Fears still play a major role, but it is not even episode 5-Flashback episode explains what happened on Maginot-that we get a full horror story in the style of films.

Episode 5 is basically a separate, independent movie “Alien”, which is one of the best episodes in the show so far. The episode is followed primarily a security officer Maginot Morrow (Babou Ceesay), where he works to reveal the identity of the sabotage on board the crew of the ship, all of this while sabotage begins to allow the different strange samples of their cages. While we get a lot of classic strife and killing trees, the real horror of the episode is to explore the corporate community in the exhibition. With Morrow as our eyes, we see in a new detail how the brutal life falls under the base of the authoritarian companies of the exhibition, which mainly turns employees into slaves in a whim of their wealthy tools. Of course, you may have missed some of these details, as they are included in the messages of the daughter of Moro – require some temporary suspension of complete treatment.

In the middle of “Alien: Earth” Episode 5, Morrow takes a moment for himself in his places, where he reads what appears to be messages from his daughter Estelle across space to Maginot. Since it is a 65 -year -old task, most of her life missed, but the messages reveal that she died in a fire on the trip for a few years, as she shed light on the state of permanent anger in Moro. While this is a tragedy clearly, the other details hidden in the letters are the most terrifying bits.

“My mom says weyland-Yutani will pay the price of each school,” Estel writes in one letter, as she talks about looking at colleges. “This is if you go to the approved Wey-Yi School.” In the same message, remember that only learning her colleagues to obtain partial grants, revealing the importance of Moro within the company.

On his face, this may not look very crazy, but think about it for a minute. This mainly takes a health care system in the United States – one in which the coverage is constantly rejected and the appropriate care appears to be “outside the network” – and its application to another basic need: education. We have seen at the present time “Foreign: Earth” Table Medical debts and work contracts can maintain people mainly to their companies throughout their lives. How much cost of university education for a person has not committed his father 65 years from his life to outer space? What about families that do not have corporate contracts at all? It is safe to assume that housing and health care, and perhaps even reaching food and clean water depend on the loyalty of companies. After all, when the Legion has everything, why don’t you ask for everything from its citizens in return?

Estelle messages draw a bleak picture of the land under the rule of companies, but the Maginot crew shows a worse aspect of things. They do not get money from the money, in itself, but in the shares of the company. How many shares, you may ask? For a low person below the driving chain, A quarter share for 65 years of their lives. It is almost horrific and funny compensation, but hey, it’s money, right?

Here is the thing, although: pushing an employee in the stocks, instead of cash, keeps them effectively in a permanent condition. What is the benefit of weyland-YTani’s sharing value if you are going to a city run by a different company? It is the final induction of the company’s city, where workers are granted distinctive symbols to spend in the company’s store and put them in the company’s housing, but with no real way to escape, Rick and Morti will put them in the slavery with additional steps.

While companies spend trillion dollars in an attempt to make life artificial, suffering from organic life, and pressed outrageous costs of living and a society that removed all margins of upward momentum. It is a Cyberpunk dyspunk that may feel a little more fictional if this is not compared to our current moments.
