from Studio ADI.

(queen facehugger and queen chestburster are a silly idea, anyway. Hinging their entire reproductive system on specific eggs/chestbursters? It's better if any Alien can become a queen..)

SM knows the answer. But he conspired with Local to keep the thread going

I like Alien 3 and I can live with idea of Queen facehugger but yeah I prefer idea of any Alien being able to turn into one too

There were two listed on the call sheet for the shoot, but only one shown on screen.

Yeah the egg and dogburster was LA shoot.

A true Assembly pre-LA shoot would have big gaps in it, due to the stuff they couldn't shoot in England.

It's a mish-mash and includes things like the ox that Fincher had already discarded.

This.
When I found out that Fincher had disowned "Alien 3", I was disappointed. I still am, especially because he didn't do a true director's cut.

Without Fincher, I don't see how the inconsistencies in the film can be resolved.

I don't think a proper director's cut would fix anything.  Fincher didn't seem fussed in explaining things like where the eggs or hugger came from.

Was it 2? I thought it was just eggs. And I'm sure there's a little cluster in the Japanese making of.

People would still be asking where it came from, but I'd prefer a cut without the egg in at all. I'd rather the question than the "plot hole".

It specifies two.
