Watching it for the first time just I watched Prometheus a week ago and kinda liked it.
And so far I’m liking it but, damn, sending your whole crew down to an UNKNOWN PLANET with not protective equipment? Like wtf, just cuz the atmosphere is breathable doesn’t mean there won’t be, I dunno, SOME WEIRD ALIEN DISEASE??? As well as several other potentially deadly things, like idk psychic plants or aliens that say hello by ripping your genitals off.
Do characters in SciFi stories ever read SciFi? Come on this is like 101 shit bro.
Yeh. They’re space truckers. One of hteir guys is sick and needs help. They don’t care about some OSHA bullshit enforced by a regulatory commission thirty lights away, they want to help Kain regardless of what Ripley says. It makes sense in the context of the characters and their knowledge and motivations.
