I've big a pretty big fan of Noah since his writing on Legion and Fargo. Season 1&2 were awesome 3-5 had great moments but overall story sucked
I haven't watched the new Alien film but pretty much the first half is good and shit afterwards listening to my friends and this forum.

There's a book series about aliens taking over the earth from like the early/mid 90s. It was pretty decent actually. If I recall, lots of nutty people trying to figure out ways to fight aliens or control them.
This will probably suck and be about embracing gay and girlpower though. I have a soft spot for the series, so I'll hope.

Its supposedly 30 years before Alien, and will deal with the Sytnhs being created by Weyland-Yutani as well as a crashed ship (Engineers?) that somehow releases Alien's on Earth. Its Noah Hawley though, so don't expect it to fit perfectly into a cannon timeline, he could just as well ignore anything after Aliens, and expect it to get weird (hopefully).
Outside of Fargo S4 and Lucy in the Sky I love all his work so I am hypin this till I see bad.

Aliens Earth War maybe? I had all the comics, and the two series that let up to it. The original 12 or 16 comics basically followed everything past Aliens.

Read an article about it the other day that the two protagonist are basically a retarded girl and her android mentor / babysitter. I'm not kidding. The description of her was she has the body of a woman but the mind of a child.
I'm sure it's going to be great!

Yea she is like the prototype for the Synths and the AI isnt really evolved so she is like a learning child. They tried to do that with David in Prometheus a bit, I guess they are expanding on that.

I don't think she's the Android though, I think she literally is supposed to be a simpleton, and her Android companion is I'm assuming learning from her. Maybe it's a developmental thing where the Android needs to be a child, and then grow to adulthood consciousness wise?

I just read about it on Deadline. It sounds like he is doing a River Tam type thing, IDK. It sounds like they have synths but are trying to create them to be more human so the plan is to create one with a child's mind and have it learn instead of it being pre-programed so they took a human and put an artificial child's mind into it. Its on brand for Weyland tbh.

Wouldn't it make much more sense for this to be set 30 years after Aliens instead of 30 years before Alien?
Opens the door for a Sigorney Weaver cameo. Just ignore everything after Aliens and have a ball.
Was under the impression that Alien was the first contact between Weyland-Yutani and an actual extraterrestrial life (which all of their missions had a sub-objective of finding).

Yeah you would think so, because if they did that it would be following the comic books which was a pretty logical series of events that took place after the original two movies. That's what Blomkampf was trying to do until old man Ridley decided to poop out another cinematic turd.
Hey it's modern day Hollywood though, it's not supposed to make sense, and you can just rewrite or change cannon whenever you feel like.

So does this follow the continuity of the movies? It looks to me like Weyland-Yutani succeeded in getting xenos back to Earth (post-Aliens), and they got loose.
Wonder if this'll just ignore the post-Aliens movies (which it probably should, not sure if AR would contradict this).
"Containment breach" tells me they had the xenos quarantined (to get through federation customs back to Earth) and it failed.
Suddenly actually kind of interested in this show, if it's going to add to the lore.
Edit: Just went back and read the thread and realized I already speculated on all of this and that apparently it takes place before Alien 1. Well that's stupid if true.
