The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> asked Noah Hawley why Wendy ordered the xenomorph to kill soldiers in Alien: Earth.<\/p>\nHe explained that Wendy is only twelve, noting, \u201cThere are some executive function issues going on. I don\u2019t want to take the moral onus off of it, but I think she\u2019s angry at the way that [the hybrids have] been treated and what they did to Nibs, and she\u2019s lashing out.\u201d He emphasized that part of her journey is learning about consequences.<\/p>\n
Hawley tied Wendy\u2019s actions to the larger theme of communication with xenomorphs, an idea seeded in James Cameron\u2019s Aliens. \u201cObviously, there\u2019s that moment in Cameron\u2019s film where the queen communicates with the drones. Is that a pheromone? Is it telekinetic?\u201d<\/p>\n
He continued, \u201cIs that a frequency we can\u2019t hear? We don\u2019t know, but that always seemed really interesting as something to explore.\u201d This exploration allowed the show to extend the alien canon beyond two-hour survival stories.<\/p>\n
He also framed Wendy\u2019s relationship with the creature as part of a moral debate. \u201cShe wants to believe that it\u2019s not these creatures\u2019 fault, that they didn\u2019t ask to come here, and we shouldn\u2019t experiment on them the way that she\u2019s being experimented on. You can understand the rationale. But it doesn\u2019t make it safe to make friends with one.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said this idea posed one of the show\u2019s biggest risks. \u201cOne of the big question marks was if fans were going to go with this idea. I don\u2019t want her to have [a xenomorph as a] pet. But if it seems like an alliance has been struck, what are the interesting possibilities that we can pull out of that?\u201d<\/p>\n
Hawley said the storyline raises a core tension. \u201cHumanity is a choice for her now, and the more she chooses to be human, the safer everyone will be.\u201d He added that her detachment from human morality fuels the question of whether she might become a monster herself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
