Something I noticed in Alien

[Darwinsgirl]

Some folks think the Ringed planet seen in Alien 'is' LV4-26 but we know it isn't, Besides what Darwinsgirl nicely pointed out was quoted in the Film, in an Article by James Cameron called 'Answers About Aliens' he answers this very question.  You can read this article on the user jamescamerononline's web site.  Although there are one or two answers he gives in that article i don't agree with.

I'll check out the article! Thanks for the tip!

Plus Burke sent the Colonists to 'Look' for the Derelict because he didn't know where it was.

Yes he did.  He had the exact co-ordinates and sent them to Hadley.

Hummmm, i wouldnt say 'exact' location, but i can see where your going with that.

The Jorden's were sent to check out a "grid reference".  That's as "exact" as you're going to get.

I always assumed the Burke knew where the Nostromo landed, its coordinates and the direction the Signal came from, from the shuttles flight recorder.  When i said 'exact' location i meant knowing where the Derelict is to a t, if you get my meaning.  But yes i see what you mean and i agree.
