Alien: Earth<\/a><\/i> is finally here, and despite the title, the xenomorph aliens are just one of many beings featured in the FX<\/a> series streaming on Hulu<\/a>.<\/p>\n One of the great things about Noah Hawley<\/a>\u2018s series at FX is that, oftentimes, when based upon or inspired by familiar IP, he curates a story for audiences that don\u2019t necessarily have any prior knowledge about that source material. In this instance, if you aren\u2019t versed in\u00a0Alien<\/em><\/a> franchise lore, then you\u2019ll have no difficulty in navigating the Alien: Earth\u00a0<\/em>terrain.<\/p>\n When it comes to the series, there\u2019s a distinction between the humanoid beings occupying a world overrun by five corporations, two of which are Weyland-Yutani and Prodigy. So what\u2019s the difference between a cyborg, a synthetic, and a hybrid? The differences are minimal but enough to take into consideration while tuning into this exciting new series.<\/p>\n While the show offers a brief explanation at the top of the premiere episode, we\u2019re breaking it down a little bit more for fans as a guide, but it must be noted that we\u2019re not talking about the alien life forms found aboard the crash-landed craft known as the USCSS Maginot. Instead, we\u2019re taking a look at three characters: cyborg Morrow (Babou Ceesay<\/a>), synth Kirsh (Timothy Olyphant<\/a>), and hybrid Wendy (Sydney Chandler<\/a>).<\/p>\n
