Egg on Sulaco

[Janek]

For me, not knowing 100% how the egg got there is part of the fun. The cloud of mystery surrounding many elements in the alien universe is such a rich foundation for entertaining discussions, like this thread. Love the discussions and witty humour here... carry on!

The Cloud of mystery was seriously eroded in Prometheus and Covenant. 
Seriously damaging to the franchise.

Yup I sadly agree, I am conflicted on wether I want to see Ridley Scott make another alien film.

Indeed. Actions that ironically began cooking the beast.

Folks thought beast was cooked before and after the prequels. Either way its not.

I never thought it was cooked, but if there's a way to cook it in my humble opinion, you take that shrouded in mystery origin and shine a big spotlight on it.

Fortunately, in the way Covenant presented it, that very origin flew over so many casual viewers' heads.

[426Buddy]

Right but there is still plenty is mystery and unanswered questions, especially regarding the goo. I dont mind putting a spotlight on the origin of the Alien as long as you create more questions and mysteries.

Do I still want David to be a re-creator? Yeah but it doesn't bother that much anymore. I also think they should take the story away from Ridley, director/producer only.

[littlesprout]

I think if Covenant removed the Aliens and David thing it would be perfect.

Just a stand alone film expanding on new creatures in the universe.

i still think David got those prints from the Engineers (for creating aliens)

I would ask the ADI guys where the egg was. They built and placed the prop, they know what set it was in or what was it suppose to be. So at least we would know where was it

[SiL]

I doubt it, the call sheet just says "SULACO NEW SET". I don't think there was ever a clear idea where it was meant to be.

If so, at least they've seen a full set rather than just a fracture of it that we see in the frame. I think its possible from what they saw to at least say if its a storage room, part of a hangar bay, locker of some sort or a hallway

[Local Trouble]

For me it would be enough if they would just rule out that it's supposed to be the dropship.

Same. Doubtful they would remember but who knows. One of them might

[Vermillion]

He might remember in a dream.
Or a figment of his imagination.
