Egg on Sulaco

[skhellter]

i like eggmorphing.

just laughing at the silly contrived way in which that script got rid of ALL the characters from Aliens. 

The scary thing about that script is that it's all
based on ideas that Giler/Hill felt would improve on the Gibson drafts.

That was Ward and Fasano.

[skhellter]

Another comedic script, that one.

Just cut the egg and everything works fine. It's THE egg that is the problem (duh!).

Just change the movie and it's fixed.

A quick fan-edit and et voila!

It wasn't Bishop.

100 % Yes

50% yes, 50% no.

Bishop couldn't have realistically done it. He had no time to get eggs and fly them up to the Sulaco and Hicks and Ripley got to the landing field when the dropship arrived. It's not like Bishop could sneak an egg on board right in front of Ripley.

It's just a plot hole with no workable solution within the story.

[skhellter]

it doesn't make sense with the context of Aliens. Never will.
But it's not a plot hole "within" Alien3. It's the inciting incident, if you like that film you accept it as a story on its own.. and then move on from inconsistencies with the other films. 

It reminds me of Hellraiser 2 which opens by blatantly retconning the whole climax of the first film and seems to exist as its own "alternate world" sequel.
(the house never blows up.. the boyfriend just doesn't exist.. etc.)

Star Beast 3: Search for Egg

[Immortan Jonesy]

The Alien 3 universe prequel is called "Who kidnapped Turk?"

Star Beast 3: Search for Egg

There are rumors about what happened to Turk. Dark, scary rumors.

I agree wholeheartedly. There is no workable solution within Aliens. It doesn't even really make sense in Alien 3, either. It was a plot device "Ripley trying to solve the mystery of what happened to her during hypersleep". It just doesn't make sense.

sigh

No shit ? Almost 30 years later and it still doesn't ? My, my, who would've thought ?

[SM]

They even did a whole new version and it didn't fix shit.

[Stitch]

They even did a whole new version and it didn't fix shit.

Secretly that's because they know this thread exists. They're baiting us all.

And SM works for them
