As a commercial flight officer, Ripley was technically proficient and may have had basic training with certain small arms (like the laser pistols that they had on the Nostromo). She also knew how to operate Parker's flamethrower without anyone showing her how (that we saw).

Necessity is the mother of invention. One of Ripley's more admirable qualities is that she's so resourceful in a crisis.

Rupley is badass no doubt about it. Its just I felt more of a connection with her PTSD self in earlier part of the film. I think he going Rambk works, but I just think we don't see her horror over the hist lifecycle again till Alien3 (I mean the autopsy of Newt was disturbing).

While I enjoy the Powerloader Ripley vs The Queen, it did feel very much like something to sport a ride at Universal Studios. For that reason it takes me out of the movie at moments.

Alien 3 was just boring.
Pure unadulterated heresy.
