The egg on the sulaco is obviously a massive talking point at the begining of the film.
I have always thought that the paceing of the intrduction to tye film kind of tacks up the slack of what was happening.
If you ignore the pace of the film then there are certainly several points to discuss:
1. The size of the egg.
2. The location. Despite what has been said it isn't the drop ship.
3. The gestation period of the facehugger on ripley.
4. The colour of the facehugger on the sulaco doesn't match the queen facehugger on the assembly cut.
5. How did it travel on the eev.
6. How did the facehugger avoid detection from the prisoners. Did it simply allow spike to pick it up in the eev or was it inpregnated on the eev. Wity the temprature dropping outside would the facehugger be able to protect its host
Yeah, most of it has already been discussed in the previous pages.
1. Though the egg seems small in size, we don't exactly have any direct reference point to compare the size. It might have been a regular egg, after all.
2. The location, could be anywhere.
The Alien Anthology menus depict the egg to be in the drop ship, but in a different position, not like what we see in the movie.
3. Logically, the gestation period should be the same as any other Alien. But it seems, in the movie, that it is roughly around a week.
4. The Facehugger we see in the movie is a regular Facehugger. The movie never implies that it was a different kind of a Facehugger.
5. We're expected to believe that the Facehugger was already impregnating someone when the EEV was launched. So it was there all along.
6. Now the last question cannot be answered since the movie doesn't give us any information. I think the Facehugger impregnated the dog just near the wreckage since all of the people had left and the Facehugger desperately needed a new host for the protection of the Queen embryo.
I can't say anything about the temperature thing.
