"If there's one thing fans have given up on, it's trying to sort out the complex and often contradictory nature of the xenomorph chronology. Even as early as 1986, when Aliens jumped forward in time and retroactively changed aspects of the backstory of both the Weyland-Yutani corporation and Ellen Ripley, fitting all the pieces together has sometimes felt like piecing a robot back together after it's been attacked by a xenomorph."
"One revelation in this episode is that the cyborg known as Morrow has been working for Yutani long enough that he's now speaking to a descendant of the original person he used to report to. In one crucial scene, Morrow reaches out to Yutani and doesn't recognize her voice. The woman responds, "You used to know my grandmother...it's been 65 years, Mr. Morrow.""
Alien: Earth is set in 2120, placing the story two years before the original Alien and 27 years after Prometheus. The series reveals that the cyborg Morrow has worked for Yutani since at least 2055 and now speaks with a descendant of his original contact, implying decades of corporate interest. A scene shows Morrow failing to recognize a voice and being told he used to know the woman's grandmother, establishing long-term ties. That timeline suggests Yutani may have encountered or pursued xenomorph-related discoveries prior to Weyland's involvement, complicating continuity with Prometheus and Covenant.
