I wish the original, longer edit (with everything back in) that was prepared was released instead of the 2003 DC.

At least the cocoon scene could then play out at its own pace instead of being rushed in editing.

Yet modern audiences are younger.   ;D

Yeah, and instead making an extended version, created a faster paced version for younger viewers I think he said.

He always said that the Director's Cut was just a marketing gimmick and his preferred cut was the TE.

TC is the superior cut by far.

Even to Ridley, the theatrical cut of Alien is thee cut.

Even Ridley Scott gets to be wrong sometimes.

It also didn't occur to Ripley that the marines were walking into a nest where they'd find the cocooned bodies of the colonists.  If the DC of Alien was canon, then she should have known what to expect as soon as she saw the hive.

I think it's safe to assume that she should have known what to expect (the colonists were f**ked) the moment she saw the hive regardless of whether she'd found Brett and Dallas.

I wonder why Ripley didn't balk at sending the marines into the hive, especially when she pointed out where it was in relation to the AP's cooling system.  Her advice at that point should have gone something like this: "Don't send them in there with nothing but flamethrowers!  We already know enough about what happened here!  They're going to find nothing but corpses down there!"

Or maybe she figured it would have been futile and they had to learn the hard way.  Still, at least she could have tried.
