i wouldn't say expendable...i'd say more expednale....
No disrespect, but what word did you mean?
Queens are expendable now, because any regular can become one of them. Previous to this, they could have got one through egg transformation, but not now.
QuoteThe Dog wouldn't have to turn itself into a Queen because it knew one was on the way...why make two Queens, the Dog was going around making it less of a threat for the Queen.
It need not become a Queen, but it would still have the ability to go sticking babies down their necks.

i think Queen molting is a last resort long thing. not something it does every five seconds thus explaining y we haven't see it yet. why didn' it happen in Alien? i'd say, Time, and who says it couldn't do it?
It would be nice for it to be a last resort, but it makes natural Queens obselete. If any adult can do it, there's just no point in natural Queens. That was actually one of the reasons I dislike '
Alien 3', because it took away the option of moulting - but if I was writing or directing a new chapter, I'd be aware of the need to keep within that frame of reference.

What if Chet is already a Queen, just a young one and she needs time to grow up completely and it takes time.
The director stated it's not. It's a regular which is transforming into one.
