QuoteOf course there are some other problems that surface.
Nothing but in the start of that film.
QuoteFor instance, Newt's tube is intact after the crash. She drowned but there are no holes or opening, so it seems like the hugger could never get to her.
On face value (which I have to keep stressing), the hugger never got Newt. I don't recall if the crack is visible after the crash. However if it's cracked, it's going to let water in slowly and out slowly. So if the EEV is breaked long enough and underwater she's going to drown.
QuoteThen theres the issue with Hicks. If the hugger would get to Hicks, it wouldve been smashed along with his upper body
My theory on that is the hugger got him, but due to his injuries, which were exascerbated by the fire (hence the bleeding), the hugger abandoned him and got Ripley after the EEV launch.
QuoteThere's an actual scene showing Ripley's cryotube being cracked open.
When?

Following the first screen is a red flashing emergency light and a neuroscan of someone with the facehugger on them.
