The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Well, if you subscribe to the 'single atmosphere generator' theory... the air would run out... eventually. :)

If you subscribe to the multiple generator theory... no reason.

Maybe only one generator was online the rest either hadn't been made or weren't online yet and only waiting on certain parts, that or the health and safety inspector shut down the plant, having seen the Death Star plans and decided that hand rails on all catwalks was a good idea after all. ;)

I wonder if Ash was motivated by a percentage, like Burke was....

Open door, take back creature, get paid from BioWeapons Divn.


I think I like that version better, minus the ZX thing. Atari 2600 was better. ;)
But think about it, if Burke had successfully infected someone with an Alien embryo, then managed to get them back to the Sulaco and put them into cryo stasis and back to Earth, Alien 3 would be a completely different scenario, I'm thinking along the lines of Earth Hive. IMO that would be badass! Battalions of APC's, Dropships and Fighter escorts, Legions of Marines & Armoured Cargo Loaders, armed with Miniguns, Missiles and harsh language assemble on a hillside, camera turns to horizon, and a neverending mass wave of Alien Drones ascend the hill at break neck speed, man I've played too much 40k. :P

Well holding Alien to what happened, best way to avoid what happened? Have Ripley never get picked up at all and eventually turn into a popsicle. Sure eventually the colonists may have found the ship, but hey might have gone better for the Marines sent in afterwards.


Except for one thing - the derelict was far from the colony. It may not have been discovered for decades unless someone was looking for it, and by then the colony's numbers could have been measured in the thousands.

The Marines had a problem with a hundred-plus warriors, imagine how much fun it would have been facing about two thousand of them.

Of course, the Marines may not have the interference from Weyland Yutani but also not have Ripley's report to go on.
