Mlign would take time...A1 alien happens so fast less than 24 hours so it could not had enough time to get in that stage...
Firslty, the transformation process is not slow. Secondly, what was stopping them from melting one section of time into another, with a legend stating 'X Hours Later'?
What was stopping them from having the new method as a way to create regular Aliens and egging to make Queens? We could have even kept to the same passing of time, then. There could have been a dramatic pay-off, in the shape of finding an egged victim, half of the way through.
Quoteheck i watch Alien today looked like it might been trying thay with ripley...why wowuld it have its tounge extended towards her face?
To threaten her into submission. To kill her. To incapacitate her. To initiate egg transformation. To sniff her. To say hello. Who knows?
The fact remains, it didn't do this to Dallas.
Quotewith the A1 ship being to small i meant most of the corridors...only one rom (DC) where brent and dallas was would be big enough fo the alien Queen
We only saw a fraction of the Nostromo. It could even have had precisely the same sort of sewage recylcing chamber as the Auriga's nest had settled in.
Besides, what's wrong with it setting up where Brett was dispatched? So long as it would fit, it would be fine.

The Alien is A1 would have eventually molted into a queen.
But wasn't orally reproducing.

sorry but...jizzed with what?
Tail, probably (not originally, however, because that tail going up the leg is spliced Brett footage, from when he was going to be impaled through the shoulders).
But Dallas' fate and the lack of a second creature (or third, if we count Brett, too) makes all that a null and void perspective.

all I can find about the Tyranid and Genestealers reproduction online that relates to impregnation is this.. "The Genestealer then thrusts its long, whip-like tongue into the body of the host where it deposits its genetic material in the form of an egg-capsule, "
so is there direct information about Tyranid's vomitting into victims to impregnate them, rather than thrusting a tongue into the body?
You just basically said it.
Genestealers stick their tongues in prey and then vomit out the seed, letting it grow/take ahold of a victim (the material I used to read alluded to it often being down the throat, too). The Predalien is going to be doing exactly the same, but with the inner mouth.
