I also sort of hope the whole alien thing isn’t resolved next episode to be honest, it might be interesting to get everything out in the open early on so we can spend the remainder of the series dealing with the fallout and how it changes the established status quo.

Also this episode gives further evidence to the fact that Darknest is some sort of AI or otherwise a mechanical construct (there’s a scene where a projection of the earth appears in his helmet). My theory right now is that like Lala's ship's AI, Darknest is a sub-AI connected to Saman's MOTHER AI. And like Lala's AI was able to develop a will of its own, perhaps Darknest was, too.
