Bishop in Alien 3 - Human or Android?

[xenomorph426]

he was defintly human he had red blood and for those of you who argue that he is an advanced andriod then why didnt Call have red blood she was made 300 years later and still had the same insides as ash and bishop and as for him being a clone thats imposible to for one thing the goverment couldnt do it till 300 years later as u can see ripley is number 8 and if the company could clone then they wouldnt have been bought out by walmart

I don't see why this is a discussion. Plain and simple, he was never intended to be a robot. There were no telltale signs such as the ones I had listed. There was no onscreen revelation of any sort. The only people who think that he was anything other than human are those who want him to be because it's "kewler" or they are easily deceived.

The ones who list Weyland in AvP as "proof" Bishop II was synthetic must have a tough time with biology and genetics too.

How did this thread reach 84 pages AND get stickied?

Only the blind would argue that he was an android.

He was human. End of.

maybe if this thread was removed from the important topics area, it might start to seem a little more irrelevant.   Maybe we ought to ask the owner of the site to have this topic demoted and well maybe one of the people who feel that Bishop 2 can only be a human can have the last word if they feel that helps and maybe we can just get on with our lives unless there comes a time when David Fincher makes a straight claim that the Bishop 2 character was anything other than human

I think it is possible for both Bishops to be human. Relatives? Clones? etc. Not impossible at all.

Clones?  Pointless.

it wouldnt be clones they didnt master that untill 300 years later with ripley

And, as it's been pointed out several times before in this thread (especially in the post above yours), it would be pointless to clone him.

You do know that we have already cloned a sheep. We have the technology to clone a human right now. It only took them 300 years to clone Ripley because the Alien inside her was making the process harder and their DNA was merging.

it would be pointless to clone him.

maybe people get cloned for pointless reasons

Gee, maybe not?

Gosh, well in this world of speculative fiction maybe there's some kind of reason to clone a Charles Weyland that we might work out, irrespective of whether Bishop II is his clone or not.

Today people ask themselves questions about what they are likely to get if they clone Bill Gates, he seems to be the person that they want to take as an example in this way. Charles Weyland could be said to be a figure as well known as Bill Gates figure in the AVP movie. So from the perspective of the AVP movie, although it might be a generally pointless thing to do, one could speculate that this sort of thing goes ahead sometime in the future

Maybe there isn't.

That doesn't mean that they would. And, as it's been explained before, cloning a person isn't going to duplicate their donor's mental makeup, no matter how they are educated and trained.

Only in bad science fiction.
