Much like Shadow Chronicles...

I think I'll just watch the first two films and call that good.

So... it's behaving like the xenomorph from Alien 3, Alien: Covenant, and Alien: Romulus then? Starting episode two... Alien: Earth is so incredibly determined to show off the various gory demises suffered by the Maginot's crew when the ship's menagerie of monsters escaped that it's failing to build any kind of tension. It was at this point that my internet connection went out... as if my modem were desperate to protect me from the remainder of Noah Hawley's inept assault on science fiction. Is Noah Hawley is a first year film student? Seriously asking. This is some dogsh*t-tier writing even by Alien's low standards. It is, in a way, terribly impressive that Alien: Earth is a horror series that has managed to make me this phenomenally bored. I can honestly say this is less engaging television than some of the episodes of Paw Patrol or Blues Clues I've put on while babysitting my nieces and nephews. OK, where was this technology at any point in the rest of the franchise when it would have been insanely f***ing useful? Was it really necessary to bore the already bored audience further with American baseball reruns? Will we get to watch Hermit enjoy some footage of paint drying next? What I'll say for this one is that it's really, hilariously ironic that they chose "Stinkfist" by Tool for the closing credits. One of the first lines in the song is: Boredom's not a burden anyone should bear This series thus far is a phenomenally dull D- by-the-numbers monster horror flick that feels like it was written by a first-year film student who just discovered what "symbolism" is and thinks he's being incredibly clever. The writing is so unbearably tedious and cliched that it destroys any chance of building tension or suspense. Alien: Earth feels like a middle school class's haunted house. It's all dark hallways, strobe lights, and fog machines. The monster can't scare or even properly startle you because it's apparently so deeply insecure it has to keep reminding the audience that it's there in the first place. If the alien gets any more desperate for attention, I'm going to expect it to start tiptoeing shyly out of the woodwork with blush stickers on and speaking in an "uwu" voice to ask senpai to notice it. Did they poach these writers from Capcom or something?

Hey @Bolt nice find. Have fun in Paris.

Right? I'm not a firm believer in super glue's shear strength, even with baking soda reinforcement.

Does this shop have an online store? Curious to see what else they have.

Still haven't learnt since the 80s...

Nailed it here. The way they were so goofy to their surroundings, reminded me of police acedemy. The almost superpowers of these new androids is still a siren that won't go off in my mind.

I wonder how difficult it would be to just unscrew the upper pivot, and replace that topmost segment with a solid metal nut and bolt.

Sorry for your loss and appreciate the warning. The display stand is probably the weakest part of this release... hoping @BroTaku79 comes through with a better option for us.

I don’t mind the androids being slightly stronger or able to do a bit more with computers and tech, but they are kinda showing them as near superhero and with odd abilities while connecting to electronics without even a connection that is a bit much. Near invincibility means less of worry about their survival in what’s supposed to be a horror story. I also don’t like that the human soldiers are chaotic idiots that will jump across a collapsing staircase without even setting up a way to return safely, let alone remember how to shoot a gun. But so far I do find myself enjoying the show and hope things get a bit better as it goes on rather than worse

I figured it might be vaporware until I realized that it was robotech, then remembered that they don’t know how to turn back from horrible mistakes and they will put a funky design or funky colored toy in hand no matter how many complaints they get. Although they might not do a follow up if the cash ain’t there for the first release

So, I tried adjusting the stand without loosening the screws first. . . Don’t be an impatient moogle : Superglue and baking soda time.

I barely remember that, but after seeing the picture from the actual episode, they totally got the wrong sword

In Paris. Found the Gundam , manga street. One shop had the Macross 1/100 hg's, but they were sold out of the YF-19, the one i would've bought. Checking out at the shop next door, with some One Piece merch, i right away saw this..

My weekly watch group is going back through Tenchi Muyo!'s OVA timeline, since most of our group hasn't seen OVA 4, OVA 5, or Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari. We just finished OVA 2 last night, and having translated a bunch of Kajishima's doujins and infobooks about the setting it's extra-freaking weird watching it knowing how all the charactes are related and how many tie-ins there are to Dual!, Photon: the Idiot Adventures, and Spaceship Agga Ruter. The Summer '25 simulcast season really is just a steaming turd. So far, I've dropped: The Water Magician I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince so I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability New Saga (Dishonorable mention for being the most generic f***ing thing I've ever seen.) Welcome to the Outcast Restaurant Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra Scooped Up by an S-Rank Adventurer Lord of Mysteries Onmyo Kaiten Re:Birth Verse (Dishonorable mention for being a shameless f***ing ripoff of Re:Zero) Private Tutor to the Duke's Daughter (The worst case of "sameface" this side of Gundam SEED and it feels like the creator belongs on a government watchlist over their prurient interest in tweens.) The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses Solo Camping for Two (I cannot imagine a worse attempt at a romance plot outside of a Hallmark movie.) Detectives These Days Are Crazy! (Because "comedy" is more than just making funny faces at the viewer several times an episode.) Hotel Inhumans Turkey! Time to Strike That's a new frigging record, by an enormous margin. Crunchyroll's simulcast season page is starting to feel like the front page of the Nintendo eShop. All shovelware all the time. The bar was already low thanks to the overabundance of isekai, but it seems like these studios are holding a ****ing limbo contest. I refuse to even start The Rising of the Shield Hero season 4 because I know it's set past the point where the light novel completely jumped the shark. Dandadan has gone from being fairly interesting to fairly dull as the cast continues to grow with more and more "quirky" characters being added. I'm kind of just showing up for Secrets of the Silent Witch, Ruri Rocks, and Betrothed to My Sister's Ex at this point.

Came here to ask when did it ever have a sword after seeing it on Taghobby moments ago. Thanks for clearing it.

Thanks

Yeesh! Hate being a perfectionist: spotted a couple of obvious spots I should have panel-lined. And then wound up doing a few billion paint and pen touch-ups too. Paint was still drying during a few of these close-up pics:

Remember that fever dream episode, where they all had swords to slay the dragon? Just because it didn't actually happen doesn't mean POSE+ can't fleece you for a sword accessory! 😅

The idea was a slam dunk right from the first drug-induced pitch meeting....

Wow $30 for an acrylic stand… … 😞 I’ll probably just go for the patch.

Fake hydraulics to prop open the wings and undersides?
