Alien Covenant: Early Ship Development - Steve Burg
Artist Seth Storck
ACK ACK ACK ACK ACK
By now everyone knows that Xenomorphs are relentless endoparasitoid predators with corrosive acid blood. But not many people know that a select few are instead outstanding pets and expert cuddlers.
Russian designer Catherine Abanina creates these awesome Plush Alien Xenomorphs. Each one is made by hand. Look at that big, cheesy grin. This monster just wants to go for a run and catch up with you on the new season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
Visit Abanina’s Etsy shop to check out many more of her handmade plush characters.

My people were biologically determined for one purpose alone: to sense the coming of death. I sense it coming now.

The interesting thing about Glados/HAL 9000 parallels is that
Hal was conceived at a time when artificial intelligence was more of a fictional construct than a practical possibility. Hal is introduced as humanlike because the audience is familiar with and comfortable with humans, but they aren’t familiar with or comfortable with living computers. It’s when he starts acting robotic and calculated that the audience realizes “oh no, he’s a computer” and he becomes threatening.
By the time Glados was conceived, we had become used to computer automated systems. Synthetic voices offering us information is something we encounter in daily life. Glados is introduced as a computerized preprogrammed voice because that’s what the audience is familiar and comfortable with. It’s when she starts acting human and emotional that the audience realizes “oh no, she’s alive” and she becomes threatening.
Oh hey it’s this post again
I fucking love this observation.

To Learn From Those Who Came Before Us
Did you see Alien: Covenant?
I’m interested to see it, but the movie is not presented in my town this week. According to the reviews, the movie seems flawed, with maybe some qualities. So, is it worth watching ? At least better than Alien³ and Resurrection ?
