Summary
In The Calm [07:30], they discuss the nature of consciousness and whether it can be transferred. They also discuss the subtle VFX needed to make a character freeze in place and continue to be worried about the safety of New Siam.
Then in The Storm [01:13:00], they make predictions for a season two that is yet to be green-lit and offer up some theories about the potential connections to Predator: Badlands and beyond.
Next week, Da7e and Neil return for an Alien: Earth season one wrap-up episode.
