About the Spike issue, I don't know why they didn't keep the scene where he's riding inside the EEV as its craned inside the building and just cut away before the facehugger reveal. That way he's in the movie, and you don't need to show his death for the audience to surmise that the alien has done away with him. Suddenly the scene makes sense again.
Yeah, you lost me there too.
Anyway, I watched the making of Alien 3 with all the footage that was edited out of the Quad and found it very interesting. To be honest some of it was quite funny. I got to really like executive producer Ezra Swerdlow in this version. He was just kind of thrown into the meat grinder as well. I like how he's very blunt and honest about things and that he actually had more weight on the show than the Quad led you to believe. In the Quad I was just like,"who the f**k is this tool that keeps popping up and talking." All the other stuff was good too.
It also revealed that Fincher could be an ass too. There's a brief part where the wardrobe guy talks about he worked on the film one day then said he wasn't coming back because of Fincher being an ass. But at the end Fincher was just shooting the film Fox wanted to make. They even comment on how Fox, Giler, and Hill would be in charge of the story end of things and that David would just shoot what they wrote. But David was determined to get more of a say so. Which I commend him for because that's probably why he has the career he has now.
Also, I agree with Phantom and think the Alien transfer a little darker than previous versions. For example, when Kane goes down into the egg chamber I couldn't make out the eggs in the wide shot when he says, "What the hell is this?" Also, when he's walking along the various pins containing eggs they're very dark. Of course maybe this is what Ridley wanted.
