This was not what I was expecting, but that's the thing about expectations, no? I should have learned my lesson after Covenant... It's interesting how the fans can come up with things that are usually more creative than the films they are a fan of--more coherent, too. How is this supposed to sit between Alien and Aliens? I mean, if they, the company, already has access to the Alien, then why does it matter going back to LV-426 in Aliens? If the Covenant and David aren't part of this, which would be a good way to answer the question about how WY got the alien in the first place, I am really curious how they are going to handle that issue... feels like egg aboard the Sulaco thing all over again.
Someone else said it on here a few days ago: a soft adaptation of Isolation with connections to Covenant via the scavenger crew would've been ideal. I guess we will have to see how this looks before making further judgments.
