I've been advocating it for years.

Quote from: BigDaddyJohn on Jun 25, 2022, 09:24:41 PMActually it's more funny to imagine the queen lift her butt there and bend to lay that egg  :laugh:
Naw, she pinged it out and it pinballed around until it got caught up in the girders.

Even better  :laugh:

Well, when it comes to the movies I think we are all a bit more sensitive I guess  ;D

You don't accept the castes either?

Not the outrageous ones. At all. And even the less extreme ones I prefer to interpret as genetic flexibility as opposed to distinct types. Overclassifying them for games is one thing, because it's a mechanical decision with a post-hoc lore justification, but keep it outta the films.

Quote from: Darkness on Nov 01, 2006, 08:21:10 AMHow do you think the egg got on the Sulaco at the start of Alien 3?

Did Bishop put it there or did the Queen manage to lay an emergency egg at the end of Aliens.

I never found it hard to believe that the Alien Queen just scooped up a spare egg or something and threw it into a hallway or something right before the climactic battle with Ripley and the gang. Like, as a fail-safe or something.

Yeah it's not good writing, but it's not that hard to believe imo

You're right it's not good writing, but I think you hit the nail on the head in terms of believability. Whether an escaping Facehugger, an Egg onboard the dropship itself, or something grew under the flooring it does not matter for the story ultimately, it's a f**king Alien. 

Although I will say:


We see something like this happen just before the Queen takes Bishop, where did the acid come from?

The womb, from the way the Queen violently tore from the ovipositor, so the idea that acid and fluids also contained zygotes makes sense.

Yep, to me thats pretty clear, acid is indeed from that part of her so its not hard to imagine the queen is behind the egg, exactly how isnt vital for the story.

The problem isn't that there's an egg, it's where it is.

If I may ask, where's that?

Exactly.

Some random corridor in the ship. The only thing below where the Queen bled is the hull.

I assume something had to be there though, otherwise someone would have got Newborn'ed?
