Then you haven't read the old thread enough. And being that Lambert is well and truly dead, I doubt it used her to reproduce. So can we please stop trying to retcon Alien for this shitty idea and move on to more pressing matters, like the colour of Wolf's crotch?
The Ox was dead in Alien 3. Alien's don't necessarily need live hosts to be incubated. That being said, it's never shown clearly whether Lambert's dead or not, she could be unconscious for all we know.
The ox wasn't dead before the facehugger attached itself to it, it most likely died afterwards, and the alien inside was developed enough that the death of its host/ox didn't make a difference. Its been established that if you kill the host early on in the chestbursters development it will die, but if its almost ready to burst out anyway and survive independently of the host, killing the host will not kill it.
The blood dripping from her leg, and the fact that she was hanging lifelessly with a pool of blood below her, indicate the intentions are she is dead. The tail obvioulsy impaled or shredded her in some way, and even if the tail literally went up her pussy, its still not literal rape, since there is no semen and no way to reproduce that way anymore than shoving a knife up there could result in impregnation. (sorry for the gross visuals, for those of you with vivid imaginations, but the point had to be made)
