I'd tell Kane to get back up on the platform and stay away from the Eggs. Seemed like a guy just trying to do his job competently and got royaly f**ked in the process. :/

Lambert.

[Local Trouble]

Parker.  Let the big black dude survive for a change.

Imagine the inquest scene.

Lambert would eb the last person i would save... I couldnt stand her.

Defiantly dallas

[Close Encounters]

Gonna go with Parker. Him surviving would at least be logical. If he had just flamed the xeno and Lambert, he and Ripley could have both made it to the lifeboat, and possibly even save the Nostromo entirely. Of course he'd come off as a cold-hearted bastard, but he'd be alive.

Still, I'm all for how Alien turned out. There's nothing about the movie that I'd change, not even the special effects and bad 70s computers. Keep it all.

So if we save this one character and it is not Ripley then that means she dies and no Aliens as we know it? Oh hell no.


I'd save the Alien. Because no one thought of it yet, that's why.

That amuses me greatly as she was supposed to "be" the audience. 

I'd save Kane or Dallas. Kane's curiosity just got the better of the poor guy. I would have liked to have known him better. And Dallas was interesting in that he wasn't a super captain. I loved how he was portrayed.

Was literally about to say that.

Can imagine him battering the hell out of Mrs. "It's a rock, no indigenous life."

[PsyKore]

Definitely Parker. Dunno why, I just like the type of person he is.

I never actually thought about him in the inquest scene before, that would've been awesome.

[whiterabbit]

Does any body think any of the other crew would have the same passion to go back to lv426 if they had survived in place of Ripley?

[HuDaFuK]

I don't think Parker would have. I get the feeling he'd be so bitter he wouldn't care any more.

[whiterabbit]

Yea and I can't see Brett, Lambert or Dallas doing either. Which leaves us Kane. I think there's a chance he'd do it.

Imagine the inquest scene. 

"I told 'em they should just freeze him! But before we go any further, I think we ought to discuss the bonus situation."

[Xenomorphine]

Nobody wants to save Ash...
