QuoteThis. I think it would be great to see an expansion of Morse's history via a stand-alone Post-Alien 3 book. Despite wanting Alien 3 retconned, I still love the film on its own merits and the only way to move that story forward seems to me to be through Morse's perspective. So I really hope the powers that be give some consideration to expanding this into something bigger as a continuation from Alien 3.
With the generally positive reaction to a continuation to Aliens - I wouldn't get your hopes up.
Morse is the
perfect character to continue on in some covert/subterfuge corporate malfeasance shit Alien continuation plotline, and this is easily segwayed into via the investigation that would follow the LV-426 incident. Even if he was left alive and isolated in the middle of nowhere, Morse is the type to say "f**k your secrecy" and spill the beans to someone important, like a relative of one of the marines, a high-ranking officer of the USCM, or an ICC investigator.
It's like the f**king Alien series was born on obsessive attention to detail in a hyper-realistic, gritty sci-fi setting, then suddenly went full retard after Alien 3 happened. How in the living shit did no writer conceive or even attempt an idea like this?
