Since nobody else has mentioned the obvious Peter Pan shaped elephant in the room - as if the first episode title wasn't a big enough clue - here it is: Boy Kavalier: Peter Pan Wendy: Wendy Darling Joe: John or Michael Darling? not sure which Kumi: Hook - complete with an artificial hand Smee: Smee - Hook's first mate Slightly, Curly, Nibs: Lost boys, same as in Peter Pan Kirsh: I dunno, Tick Tock? Although the Alien itself is a contender for this one Tinker Bell: ? - maybe she'll show up in season 2, unless she's the Eye alien or something I'm sure there are more. Maybe some of the bad writing that has been commented on previously was to hammer the Alien franchise into this other Disney franchise. When corporate branding gets involved, all bets about story integrity are off. It still looks good, so I'll stick around a bit longer to see where it goes.

Yeah, if U wanna make a show about dying children being saved by putting them in adult synthetic bodies, then make that show. But why it's "Alien" is a serious question.
And as for Wendy having a Deus Ex Machina special ability with all tech, sweet jeebus, does nobody in the writing room call nonsense on this crap?
Finally the titular Alien itself - a mockery of what Ridley Scott and James Cameron gave us.
That's it? They're about to be attacked by an army and it just stops there? Following a lot of other shows I liked which just stopped obviously planning to have another season but didn't, I'm wondering if there will actually be a season 2. What I don't understand is why not 1 person asked Wendy what the aliens were saying. That would be the 1st thing I would have done.
