Longtime Alien fans are buzzing over a surprise reveal that the Xenomorph has a tadpole stage in FX and Hulu's Alien: Earth.

Alien: Earth episode 3 suggests a surprising weakness in Xenomorphs - their second mouth. Wendy gains control over a Xenomorph by stabbing its inner jaw, revealing a potential Achilles heel for these deadly creatures.

One of my favorite aspects of the franchise over the years has been the depiction of malevolent corporate conglomerates like Weyland-Yutani, which will risk anything and everything to hold onto control or make new discoveries. Alien: Earth is turning it up a few notches this time around, and I can’t wait to see the corporate wars at its center.
