And I like Noomi Rapace in it a great deal.

Rapace is the best part of Prometheus. Hands down. That's why I was kind of bummed out when I heard she wasn't returning for Covenant.

At the end of Prometheus, we've invested in her story and are looking forward to what comes next for her and then all we get are a series of short web films.

Fuck that.

The way they handled her character in Covenant was such an injustice and a slap in the face.

It honestly pissed me off.

Been waiting on this for a bit - can’t wait to catch these.

This is the first time I noticed one of the shorts is titled Night Shift. Dare I get my hopes up that one of these is gonna have a touch of King?

[Earl of Popkin]

Less than 10 minutes. Worth it.

I enjoyed that.

[Ricky]

I really enjoyed that one and gladly would've watched more!

2nd short of 6 from the ign shorts. Gotta say, it’s pretty intense. Impressive. I believe Alien 3 originally was supposed to have a sequence similar to this one with the dog

Alien: Specimen

Thanks for posting that. I liked the first one better but I'm definitely enjoying them.

Mae, you know I’ll botch this like always, so thank you in advance for being the custodian here on the Nostradamus, but here is the third film in the short series. AND it’s called Night Shift!!

Sure:

That was my least favorite of the three so far. The first was my favorite.

Agreed - this one was a stinker

That one was really good! One of my favorites. Some of these shorts are what Covenant should've been.

Rankings:

1. Containment
2. Ore
3. Specimen
4. Night Shift

Now I have to watch them. I have them all in my watchlist.

[Earl of Popkin]

Ore and specimen were my two faves though containment had the best ending. Really looking forward to the final two

They are shockingly good. They keep the basic elements of the Alien series but add in enough new stuff and concepts that makes it fresh and exciting. I'll be eager to hear your thoughts.

Me too!

Also, not sure if they accidentally posted a week early or if they just decided to release a bonus episode today bc it’s the 40th anniversary of the original’s release. Hopefully there’s still another one next week

“Harvest”

I know they were gonna do 6 total, so this might be it.
