I'm glad they didn't use that shot of the dippy bird in the final edit.  I'm sick of the stupid dippy bird.  It turns up in everything Alien related.  It's the worst kind of fan service.  The dippy bird was a cute little item onboard the Nostromo.  There's no reason why it would be on every other spaceship or colony.

I haven't seen it in much apart from Isolation and Covenant, tbh. It does strangely feel like it's used everywhere though. But I felt like in Covenant it was used in a way to mock all the fans that just wanted "more f**king aliens." Ridley's got a good sense of humour like that.

I think I prefer Charles Dance as an actor overall, even though I have immense respect for Richard E. Grant, so I think the right choice was made in this instance personally.

"They want dippy birds? I'll give them f**king dippy birds!"

Agreed.  I think that Charles Dance is superb in the role.  I'm sure that Richard E. Grant would have done a marvelous job too, but I wouldn't have wanted it to turn into too much of a Withnail and I reunion because it might have been distracting.

Coo.  That's interesting.  So a facehugger stowed away onboard the escape pod?

The movie didn't make that crystal clear? ???
