Summary
Highlights
The episode title, 'The Fly', likely references the 1980s film 'The Fly', where a scientist transforms into an insect. This mirrors Arthur's potential transformation after being face-hugged, turning him into an unwitting experiment subject, similar to how Seth Brundle became part fly.
The title 'Fly' could also refer to the winged alien creature seen in the trailer, forming a new hive structure. There's a theory that Boy Cavalier might fall prey to this intelligent creature, which seeks to communicate with other intelligent species rather than the Xenomorphs as previously thought.
Wendy's chestburster Xenomorph friend is growing rapidly, quickly forming limbs. The video speculates on Wendy becoming a 'queen of sorts', drawing on theories of Xenomorph queen creation discussed by the series creator. Wendy's intuitive ability to control technology earlier in the series suggests she might learn to control the Xenomorphs.
Wendy is becoming upset with Dame Sylvia and realizing Boy Cavalier's disregard for the hybrids and specimens, viewing them as mere experiments. This hints at a brewing conflict where Wendy might turn against Prodigy and use her potential ability to control Xenomorphs against them.
The series introduces potential plot holes with characters knowing about Xenomorphs before the first Alien movie's events. The video questions what happens to these knowledgeable characters, suggesting they must either disappear or be eliminated to maintain the established alien timeline.
A new shot of Boy Cavalier flying into the city suggests his arbitration meeting, where he agreed to meet Yutani. The corporate rule depicted in the 'Alien' universe implies that Boy Cavalier, as a head of a major corporation, is largely above the law, making his demise by a Xenomorph or the eye creature a potentially satisfying resolution.
Nibs's belief of being pregnant is explored as a potential psychological reaction to trauma or an actual phenomenon, possibly related to the eye creature's unknown reproduction methods, similar to the alien tick. The challenge is whether the eye creature can affect hybrids, as it couldn't fully control the formidable Xenomorph.
Tootles accidentally ripping off a door highlights the hybrids' immense strength, suggesting they could become powerful weapons if they lose control. This hints at their destructive potential.
Wendy's brother wants to leave the island, but Wendy expresses reluctance, indicating her growing attachment to her role and the Xenomorphs. This shift in her desire suggests a significant change in her path moving forward.
