You learn something new every day.
I never realised that about the artificial persons either.

Dear All... Do any of you know where the name Sulaco comes from? It's an interesting name and I just wondered if there was some kind of meaning of Sulaco or other relevance or some other subtlety. Regards, 2-1-6 |

I never knew that. Thanks Vicky! My favourite Alien name convention is the androids. Any Android from the new alien film has to have a D name, as far as I'm concerned. |

I hadn't thought about the artificial persons either. I guess they must be related to the ABC Warriors from 2000 AD!

Heh... took me a second to get this. Ash... Bishop... Call... But where does this leave "Bishop II" in A3? Oh and on Joseph Conrad's "Nostromo"- I actually used that book to come up with a name for my own fictional ship the USS Socorro.  Kevin |

Well one that's one theory but it could also be that any Synthetic in films 5 & 6 will also have to have names beginning with C and a D named synthetic can only appear in film 7! Ash... Bishop... Bishop... Call... C... C... D.... D.... D.... D.... etc Just a thought which explains Bishop II but then again was he synthetic or not been a while since I watched that and can't remember if he bled white or red! |

In a deleted scene in A3 (after having his ear hacked off) Bishop II screams out "I'M NOT A DROID!" But in 2008 at Dragon Con, our own Cpl Tony asked Lance Henriksen himself what the real answer was... Lance said that Bishop II was indeed an android. Darkwingstalker- that's the beauty of this place- even those of us who have been fans for decades are able to learn something new!  Kevin |

The blood looks red in this pic though. Although if I'd just been hit like that, I doubt I'd just be standing there, glaring at someone.

Agreed; although it's a long way in the future, I really doubt they will have invented dye by then. |

You need a D name for the next synthetic? D... D... D... ... hmmm... Can't think of one... |
