yes, as I've been corrected on that, strangely, as an alien fan i can't seem to find an aliens DVD disc at the right time (not having money when i find one) or interviews on the internet about him thinking about the sequel, but then again, I'm sometimes inpatient ( my computer has some probs with internet for some reason and is sometimes as slow as hell). I also need to correct my post, how he made it hard to have an egg on the ship for a sequel,( he didn't know how anyone else could make the sequel, as you said SM, he would not know who would direct it), and so he never took the time to have more possible ways for a sequel. So, as i say again, the dierectors made a goddamn confusing beginning, not even giving a hint how it got there. ( other than the alien queen on the ship, this is a reason why Alien 3 isn't up with predator on my favorite Alien/Predator movie list.) Therefore, that is how this big question is made. ( this topic is a little similar to why "Kane's son" in Alien didn't turn into a queen, due to how each movie new ideas are made.) as i say again, this is my opinion, please do not criticize it.
