How would we now deal with the future in the movies, we cannot have a black president. As a comedian once noted when Barack Obama became president of the USA. It tends to rare for a sci fi series set in the future to discuss racial politics. When Bradley is offered a promotion he thinks it is because of his colour. This episode might be set in 1981 and as far as Straker is concerned, racism finished years ago. Marlow was placed under arrest by the Colonial Marshals for his role in the disaster while Anesidora remained parked in orbit around KG-348. If this story had gone through several rewrites and was written for Star Trek, this would be regarded as an all time classic especially in light of what happens to the alien after helps arrive for Foster. Foster was taken to Sevastopol's medical center, but the Chestburster duly emerged, killing Foster and beginning a Xenomorph infestation that rapidly overtook the station. This episode predates the Dennis Quaid/Lou Gossett Jr film Enemy Mine by 14 years.

He is especially prolific in his novelizations of film scripts. Foster is a prolific creator of and contributor to book series as well as the author of more than 20 single novels. Rescue comes in the form of the alien who helps Straker. Alan Dean Foster (born November 18, 1946) is an American writer of fantasy and science fiction who wrote the novelizations of Alien, Aliens, Alien3 and Alien: Covenant, as well as the novel Alien: Covenant - Origins. However Foster finds himself alone on the moon and with little air. Straker orders Foster to find the alien alive and a team goes out to look for it. The leisure sphere is depressurised, Foster survives but his colleague dies. Foster began his career as an author when a letter he sent to Arkham Collection was purchased by the editor and published in the magazine in 1968. An alien shoots at a window in the Moonbase. The writing was somehow secondary to the production design and costumes. It just demonstrates the flaws in the Anderson's approach to a live action show.

In some ways this was a bold episode and in others it was confusing.
