The series risks becoming the same Alien movie over and over, just cushioned in more and more austere, go-nowhere mythology about mothers, progenies, and all that jazz (and Brahms and Shelley, here, too, with Michael Fassbender's robot steadily morphing into Hannibal Lecter) but in the meantime, this is a solid Alien episode - thankfully not as overcooked as Prometheus - and a hell of a lot better than that Life nonsense rushed to cinemas earlier this year to preempt the same plot...I just wish there wasn't the unfortunate Land of the Lost crossover - is there a rule the shaggy, straw-hatted character of Tennessee has to appear in every sci-fi?
