Reply to comment by stumpcity in FX's ‘Alien’ Series Gearing Up For Production This Year; Noah Hawley Will Start Production After Finishing 'Fargo' Season 5 by SanderSo47
I don’t see how Covenant knows what it wants to be. It goes from philosophising in the opening establishing the same tone as Prometheus to a really dumb slasher, interlaced with moments of Prometheus-like intrigue where it can’t help but fill in the blanks between the films (and that stuff being far more interesting than the slasher the film actually is). Then it’s never sure if it wants to be an alien film or an android film - I don’t think it’s nearly as deft as the original was at juggling both.
I know the Prometheus script had a dozen hands on it but what happened during production, I’ve never seen the BTS you mentioned.

Ridley Scott basically got wine drunk every day and messed up whatever was working that day
