The Alien Franchise Through the Eyes of Another David by David Gogel
I’ve spent a good portion of my time on this blog and others reviewing, previewing, critiquing, analyzing and overanalyzing various parts of the Alien franchise. I thought I would take some time out and talk about what it means to me. I’ve touched on some of this on the Perfect Organism Podcast (now available on…

Review: Alien Covenant: Origins by David Gogel
During the early days of Alien Covenant hype, there were two books announced: the official novelization of the movie and a prequel novel. Alan Dean Foster crafted a novelization that was arguably better than the movie itself. The prequel novel was originally announced as a story explaining what happened with David and Shaw during their…

Weyland Industries: Links Around the Community
The journey to bringing fandom together is not a straight line. Much like Peter Weyland himself, I’ve had grand plans since forming this blog. But success is not a straight line. The contributions of the Alien Community stretch from Facebook to Twitter to Instagram to Podcasts to Tumblr to Blogs. There is so much that…

Advent: A Study of David’s Lab and Mind
Well. This was a pleasant surprise. Not only did not I not expect any bonus features with my digital copy but I did not expect anything as awesome as Advent. My love for David’s Lab is no secret by now. The table and sketches tell such a story by themselves, it just captured my imagination.…

Hidden Gems: AvP: Requiem Bonus Features
I thought I would take a break from another Alien Covenant discussion, and try something else on for size. With the Covenant blu-ray only a couple short weeks away, it’s the perfect time to revisit an older home release: Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. A complete mess of a movie, but containing one of the coolest…

NECA Neomorph Review
When I first discovered NECA shortly after the release of Prometheus, I had no idea what I dipped my toe into. After a brief addiction to their releases and apologizing my wallet, I only purchase them occasionally now. And it’s usually just the creatures. No offense to the humans in the Alien universe, but I…

Bioweapons Divsion: Fan Creations
Today we highlight another passionate and creative member of Alien fandom. Mantis Abbey is today’s featured Weyland-Yutani Employee. The twitter bio sums it up better than I could : “Senior xeno-entomologist specialist working to develop new strains of the Internecivus raptus in joint-operation with Weyland-Yutani. Devotee of the NECA cult”. It’s refreshing not only to see original…

Fan Spotlight: NECA David’s Lab
The internet can be a wonderful place when used properly. I enjoy perusing my Twitter (@xenomoprhing426, don’t be afraid to say hello!) timeline for hidden gems in the Alien fandom. This is when I tripped on a spore and accidentally discovered these gorgeous dioramas. These are courtesy of: theartofruin @pmo_operations on the Twitter machine. The…

Podcast Interview With Alien Covenant concept artists Dane Hallett and Matt Hatton
JM Prater and I were lucky enough to conduct an interview with two of the concept artists from Alien Covenant. This was a very fun episode and one of my favorites so far. Enjoy! https://perfectorganism.podbean.com/e/episode-56-dane-hallett-matt-hatton-concept-designers-on-alien-covenant/

Alien: Covenant Post-Mortem Morsels
Here in the States, we’ve reached the month mark since Alien Covenant burst (It’s law I have to use an Alien pun. I have no regrets) its way into cinemas. It has been anything but a smooth ride for Fox and the fans. But it also has been anything but boring. Let’s explore some of…
