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!

 Post subject: Who has the original 'AVP' graphic novel?

What does the guy say, in the opening dialogue whilst the eggs are travelling down the conveyor, about the Darwin 'survival of the fittest' theory?

One guy says to the other that it's an over-simplification or something. I'm looking for the term he used...

"--no matter where you or anyone else may wish to draw the line, it still ends up as darwin's 'survival of the fittest'"

"Darwin never said 'survival of the fittest' Scott, that was an oversimplification that was used to sell his theory to the public."

"What you're talking about is manifest destiny"

"you can call it whatever you want Tom. The fact remains that if the human race needs to do something to survive -- and the lower orders dont have the power to stop us-- we'll prevail. Its not right or wrong -- its just the way things are"

Thanks very much.

Over-simplification WAS the term I was looking for!

Wonderful graphic novel, a disgracefully missed opportunity for the makers of the film.

Old Aliens comic?
Pshaw! I see that and raise you a set of 1st-print comics :P

( I had all of 'em, right back to "Aliens : Book One". HAd to sell them though :( Which sucks. Book Two had absolutely stunning art.

Shame about Earth War, really...
