So Hicks is alive? What are we suppose to think of this? Are we to take this as just wishful thinking in part of the writer, or is Hicks officially a survivor?
Also what did everyone think of how the embryo worked inside its host? I think the idea that it sort of works like a cancer helps explain why the Alien sometimes takes characteristics of its host.
The first is never explained. Gearbox said they'd 'improve' the third film by explaining how the magical egg appeared, but not only do they
not do so, but by virtue of reintroducing Hicks and not explaining who was in his cryotube, why or how, they've actually made '
Alien 3' a
more logical story than their own.
As for the chestburster, it contradicts the following...
'
Alien Resurrection': Not only have multiple chestbursters been retrieved from at least two Ripley clones without incident, but the same leading expert responsible for their removal says that one can be removed from a 100% human host, too.
'
Alien 3': No such mysterious 'placenta', supposedly burying its weed-like roots into every single internal organ, is visible on Ripley's scan. Just a single, very thin umbilical cord. No such artificial organ exists.
