This article contains spoilers from Alien: Earth<\/em> episode 4, “Observation.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

You may have not anticipated a future reality in which the true star of Alien: Earth<\/em> would turn out to be a sheep, but as for Timothy Olyphant<\/a> and his colleagues on set? “We all saw it,” the actor behind the synth Kirsh tells Entertainment Weekly<\/em>.<\/p>\n

According to Olyphant, the crew made custom shirts. “And you know who’s on the front of that shirt? That f—ing sheep,” he says. “We got shirts with that sheep and his big fricking eyeball.”<\/p>\n

If you’ve seen up to episode 4 of Alien: Earth<\/em>, you know exactly what Olyphant is talking about.<\/p>\n

While studying the extraterrestrials they acquired from a crashed Weyland-Yutani spacecraft, Boy Kavalier (Samuel Blenkin) and his associates place the giant tentacled eyeball in the same holding cell as a sheep test subject to observe their exchange. They then watch with a mixture of horror and fascination as the alien rips out the animal’s eyeball and places itself inside the empty socket, using its squid-like tendrils to control its body like a robot by connecting with its muscular and nervous systems.<\/p>\n

In short, “I was a big fan of the sheep,” Olyphant remarks.<\/p>\n
