Wasn't David given custom tweaks by Weyland to enable potential for creation, imagination? I believe that's what leads to his…eccentricities.

Kirsh's directives *have* netted out to some wily behavior, but I suspect he's operating w/in them. BK prob didn't think i tall thru, tho. =)

First Law vs Zeroth Law in #AlienEarth

Kirsh must be an optimist. =)

Alt: In a scene from the TV show ALIEN: EARTH, when scientist and synth Kirsh observes the human CEO Boy Kavalier put himself in danger of getting facehugged, conflict between First Law and Zeroth Law causes Kirsh to hesitate before the First Law wins and he pushes BK away from the alien egg to safety. This time.

Yeah, Kirsh = Dad K is Out There. =)

Early in #AlienEarth, I wondered if WY was industry standard for synths so would Kirsh be WY & have a WY backdoor override?

Later sussed that Prodigy hybrid is a synth+, so Kirsh oughta be Prodigy-built. After the Atom reveal, likely a BK custom job.

#AlienEarth #questions

Whose logo is stamped on Kirsh’s synth guts? Is he mass produced or 1-of-a-kind?

Would be EvilCorp-logical for W-Y to include a backdoor for data/override in every synth & cyborg part.

Also, what product/s has Prodigy & built their success on? Better synths?

Footwear? =)

Come on. What the FUCK are you doing here?

ROB: Jesus Christ, Tom, you're not gonna shot me.

What if Kirsh is BK's first hybrid, but not by design?

Atom killed Dad Kavalier, but BK replaced damaged parts w artificial subs & brought him back as cyborg. Over years, he replaces organs, migrates him to hybrid brain, & edits w code/restraints to turn him into Kirsh.

Cabinboy O'Cellus in Borderland @cabinboy100.bsky.social · 1d

Nuts. Was ready to go tinfoil hat on that.

Like, Kirsh was BK’s dad & he’s replaced him piece by piece over time w mech organs since Atom “killed” him…Ship of Theseus’d into a Cyborg almost-Synth.

Hybrid brain transplant, edited w some “3 laws”-ish guardrail overrides.

The first Nazis said they were joking too, it’s a strategy to get people not to take the threat seriously, and a pretty obvious one that people should be embarrassed to have fallen for.

One day y'all gon learn that trying to split hairs between aesthetic/ironic bigotry and bigotry-bigotry is a fool's errand.

Rewatched 108 graveyard scene. Whatever hits Hermit Xeno leaves a divot in its head.

Also, soldiers arrive from behind Xeno, but shot hit left side of its head. Close call w Dame there. Who's the sharpshooter?

Frack. Will hafta check & see if divot is visible later on.

#AlienEarth #questions

Is Hermit Xeno more armored than other Xenos we've seen? It takes a shot to head when facing Dame Sylvia.

IS there a non-lethal/non-penetrating ammo option? To tag Xeno w/o spraying Dame w acid?

Or—Is 2120 Prodigy/WY weaponry x ammo weaker vs 2179 Colonial Marines' #ALIENS?

Cabinboy O'Cellus in Borderland @cabinboy100.bsky.social · 21d

What kind of weapon was Xeno hit w? Dried up paintball? Beanbag?

Did soldier use non-lethal round b/c of Dame's proximity?

Yeah. Must be using lethal otherwise, cuz this thing's killing everybody. Kill, not capture at this point.

Wasn't expecting that Alien Earth episode to end with the TOOL song about fisting, but ok.

The first season of #alienearth was disturbing. You cannot like such a realistically played out existential horror, you can only acknowledge it. Sickening and disgusting to the highest level of the craft.
