Egg on Sulaco

[Vermillion]

Pot needs a stirring. Lol

[Alien³]

Only talking AC here.

Big facehugger carried egg off while the Queen fought Ripley and hide it out of the way.

A facehugger can be heard post credits of Aliens scuttling about.

Egg hatches. Facehugger impregnates Ripley and causes crash.

Remaining big facehugger gets the Ox.

Why not just both facehuggers attack Ripley and Newt.

[Alien³]

Maybe they did. But only one managed to get to its host before the evac started.
The other (big facehugger) perhaps injured in the process that caused the fire.

[Vermillion]

But Covenant states and proves it only needs 1-2 secs to impregnate. 
Jump on
Jump off
The clapper.

Just do it.

That got nothin' to do with this.

No I mean why not attack them in the hangar bay?

[Local Trouble]

They're bashful.

Survival. After all the species was on its last legs and the Queen had seen Ripley's might.

They're bashful.

But they're smaller and faster than the Queen.  They could've taken Ripley and Newt out in seconds and neither Hicks nor Bishop would be able to stop them.

There is really no good explanation for any of this.

I mean Cameron had the sound of the hugger skittering around during the credits, so it starts there.

Then again, the Alien 3 TC showed us that the facehugger on the EEV didn't attack the first bald pom who showed up.  For some reason, it waited for Spike.

[SM]

Were we talking about the same version of the film (which we're not but anyway) - it was a bit shagged after impregnating Ripley.

Because the egg was not ready to hatch yet, the facehugger that carried the egg away took it away to protect it.

[SM]

Took it away where?
