Part 5/10:
Another major criticism stems from inconsistencies in plot logic and timeline management. Several comments highlight how the characters seem to have knowledge they logically shouldn't possess at such early stages. For instance, the crew is aware of the aliens' name xenomorph, despite that being a term that came after Alien (1986).
This creates a paradox: if they knew the creature's name and its dangerous nature, why would they proceed with such reckless experimentation? Moreover, how did a character like the chief engineer, who supposedly took off 65 years ago, manage to connect with someone on Earth? These inconsistencies raise questions about the show's understanding of space travel, communication delays, and technology limitations.
