The strength ofAlien : Earth is to reach extend the franchise lore while respecting the codes. At least for the moment. You just have to see the Maginot to understand that the whole team has revised its classics. Moreover, the second episode of the series will have enlisted more than one by pouring more ostensibly towards the gore side of the saga with sequences particularly rich in thrill.
However, the creator Noah Hawley committed a little imprecision in writingor it’s part of a global plot, the error that can impact characters thereafter. But the fact remains thatA phrase slipped into the episode is not really in line with what we knew of a certain Xenomorph …

Not dead for fear
When Morrow manages to capture the Xenomorph And locking him up in a cocoon, he will escape when the rest of the lifestyle falls on him. Quickly, things get worse and the Xenomorph freed himself to shred the soldiers, but not Morrow, which he approaches before leaving to see elsewhere if there are other victims to do.
And The alien kills the soldiers and not morrowit is because of a warning slipped by the latter to armed men just before, The creature smells of fear. If the cyborg manages to get out unscathed, it is because he manages to maintain his cold (while he sweates like a madman notwithstanding). What is the problem then?
The problem is thatIt has never been said, throughout the franchise, that the Xenomorph reacted to fear. On the contrary, there is no longer the number of victims he has made without the latter realizing his presence, therefore without fear. In the first film alone – if you want to quote the original source – Brett is killed by looking for your cat. From what we know about the creature, It reacts to a lot of stimuli: body heat, pheromones, vibrations … There is almost no way to hide from her.
By the chemical consequences it causes in our organism, Fear can be an aggravating factor, but never the unique cause of an attack and even less to secure yourself. And even if we advance the argument that Morrow is a cyborg, therefore potentially less subject to the defects of human biology, it is not a synthetic either and makes a superb prey.
The only cases, so far, where The Xenomorph spared a character, it is purely for reproductive concern By capturing it to make them to facehugs. Only exception: Ripley in Alien 3but we know why (she was already the host of a queen). Morrow joins the list of survivors, but this time, for no valid reason other than a scriptwriting need (and a pretty scene, certainly).

Nevertheless, we still leave in Hawley the benefit of the doubt in the hope that he comes to bring us a better answer by the end of this first season of Alien: Earth (yes, we tend to believe that a season 2 will see the light of day). Answer, perhaps, in the coming weeks.
