We’re at the end. The whole first season didn’t make sense after the first episode. It just nose dived.

People above have already stated the obvious. It’s a popcorn series and a check box. That’s it. No staying power. No one wants to watch robot children who talk to xenomorphs make them pets. No. Just no. These creatures do not follow instructions from a tweenager. Get away from her you bitch.

These are the same creatures that almost wiped out the predators… c’mon man!

> They don't make a whole lot of movies where all the characters just follow the rules, cause it wouldn't be fun to watch.

Compare it to how they didn't follow the rules in Alien 1 then: they weren't supposed to let the facehugger victim into the spaceship due to quarantine rules. Ripley, acting as interim captain, tried to enforce that, but was overridden by Ash, the science officer [1]. A perfectly understandable action due to human empathy, but in this case, it is doubly justified since, as we later learn, Ash was an android, acting on secret orders to retrieve the alien specimen. Smart, reasonable actions from everyone involved, that didn't make anyone scream at the movie in frustration. And this was just a mining crew of ordinary workers, not the best scientific minds a multi-billionaire was able to assemble for a research expedition.

Meanwhile the only justification for sticking his face into that evil-looking alien snake in Prometheus is that the guy was just a moron because he had fancy science equipment??? Also, Prometheus was written by Damon Lindelof - who also wrote Lost. The same Lost where all those mysteries turned out by series end to have been just random nonsense, with no explanation or justification ever given. Another point in favor of the incompetent writer thesis.
