Practicing Catholic here. It's exhausting trying to explain to people on the internet that very very very few Christian sects take the Bible literally.

Spoilers from the book:

I'm sorry for your loss.

The glance at the pills was enough.

The fact that Laurie didn't know Judas killed himself threw me too. I don't know how you can spend an adult and educated life in western society and never learn that.

Meg is dead. Did this reviewer forget the first episode of the season already?

Is there a form of punishment we should be enforcing for not getting a Simpsons reference here?

I've always heard good things about the nofap sub…

He's male.

Sit yo monkey ass down! Shit.

And then a jaunty sprint from a rolling spaceship!

I cannot understand that. I knew it was nonsensical bullshit while I was watching it. Surely I'm not the only one?

That's a pretty good point. I don't think I could yell Ah, fuck! and run fast enough. Your average human could suss out that your movement was detected and its aiming for you, right?

How are meteorologists not scientists?

In what version of reality does being stoned make you less paranoid of a literal alien situation? He'd already run away from a fossilized corpse, because apparently that was a little too biological for that biologist to handle.

He was a biologist who was frightened by a dead biological specimen, yet fell in love with a living, clearly aggressive biological specimen. Makes perfect sense to me!

I felt like the c-section scene was tossed in because they were like, oh yeah we forgot about chest-bursters. Let's throw in an almost uterus-burster to make up for it! I just really loved the imagery and metaphorical stuff of the first two films. Aliens is essentially two mothers battling each other to protect their…

Aside from the profound stupidity of Prometheus, a big issue for me was the change from the metaphor of motherhood to fatherhood. There's no body horror of fatherhood, there's no physical metamorphosis. Just philosophical questions of yada yada yada that the movie very poorly tried to tie together and it made no…

I didn't realize Canada also had that rule.

This really makes me wish Prometheus never happened. I really really really want to see another Alien film but Prometheus burned me so badly I'm wary of seeing this. To this day I'm fucking furious I sat through Prometheus. I mean, furious.
