Update for Movie suggestions

I've only watched one episode of Alien Earth, so maybe my assumption is off, but

Spoiler: Spoiler Alert!

if this series takes place before the Nostromo completed it's mission in the original Alien move, and we have so far seen that the Maginot crew in episode one were collecting xenomorphs, AND I assume those creatures will do some general public damage, how did the crew of the Nostromo not know anything about the creatures in their first encounter?

 

Spoiler: Spoiler

Its a 2 year gap ... Alien isnt fresh, but the company directed Ash to the planet with the derelict ship, so Weyland seems to have known right? Not sure the crew would know, given they were in deep space. But I'm not clear when the Nostromo started its mission or how long they were in space prior. They were getting ready to go home, so it was the end of their mission, which I assume could have been years.

 

O&B... you seem to have a secret admirer loading up bad reps on you.

Yea, I guess if they were out there a while, that could line up. Thanks, I look forward to the rest of the episodes.

 

Just watched Department Q on Netflix. Very cool, if not very disturbing, police mystery set in Scotland.

 

It was very good.
