How is AVP-R "going back to the roots"?

It's concepts like that which take you one step closer towards an adventure through the psyche of one HR Giger.

Yes... ive seen his unfiltered work before.  Credit where credits due but...Ouch.

[Xenomorphine]

Id love to see some artist concept of this bad idea. 

Please?

Either get a copy of the book, 'Giger's Alien' or simply watch the special edition of 'Alien'.

Even better, get the original Legacy Collection copy of the 'Alien' DVD and you'll see the original version of that situation, in the deleted scenes portion. It's actually a bit longer than what we eventually get to view in the 2003 issue of it.

So that's what it does? I thought the person turned into a facehugger? So you're the egg for the hugger?

Yes. You're the yolk for the embryonic facehugger consuming you alive.

And you might even stay alive, in some sort of permanently vegetative state, until it finally hatches.

Imagine being that way for centuries or perhaps even longer... Unable to do anything but exist in agonised torment, knowing that your death will only come as the result of another being impregnated to endure a similar fate to yours.

That was always meant to have been the implied fate of the crew of the derelict.

And as SM says, you're just meat. But if you're alive, who knows how long you truly retain sentience for?

what? It was my understanding that once the egg-morphing process finished completely you'd be an egg. (Brett was around 75-80% finished and his head was dissolving, so its clear you can't be sentient without a head/brain and distinguishable form.)

You were under the impression that you'd stay alive with a facehugger in you until someone came near you and it hatched out of you?

Giger = genius.  I say this as an art student in college.

That's all.

So really all those eggs on the Space Jockey ship are those creatures?

It's fun for me to interact with people who have the same level of passion as I do, even if we totally disagree.

I'm glad you don't take it too much to heart, considering your position.

Far too many people here mistake 'spirited discussion' for more than it is, so it's good to know you're not offended when people say, "Chet puking in people's mouths is teh wurst idea evah!"  (Even if it is. )

Giger = genius.

Thats ONE adjective...

He reminds me of Tim Burton. Talented but cant stay on rails.

Well giger really walks that thin line between insanity and genius. Lots of his art is beyond f**ked up but retains some intrinsic beauty despite that fact.

As Colin adamantly pointed out...it's open to interpretation, always has been...

Im surprised Giger didnt think up the regurgitation thing. Wow... hes slipping

I suppose that's true in some regards. But you definitely see brett and the state he was in and consider that the process hadn't finished yet. So the natural progression would suggest, complete egg transformation and the dissolution of organic matter in his body as its transformed into material to construct the organic interior of the egg and produce the facehugger embryo within the "chemical soup" contained within.

I think Giger would like the idea. He has a fascination with the mouth and inserting things inside it.

how is puking into the mouth any more ridiculous than turning a person into an egg  

Isn't puking into their victims' mouths essentially what facehuggers do...for fu ck's sake, whine whine whine

Actually no it is not. Facehuggers insert a tube down the hosts throat and lay the embryo in the chest cavity where it attaches and grows like a sort of cancer. It changes the hosts dna in order to not be rejected, and it mistaken for just an extension of an organ of the host.
The facehugger keeps the host alive via filtering the elements needed to sustain the host and does not vomit as it doesn't have a discernable seperation of head and body and is a mere carrier of the chestburster embryo.
