Egg on Sulaco

[The Old One]

Consensus Reached, Page 170.

Spoiler

It was the intention during shooting that it was an unclear amount of surviving Facehuggers
that hitched a ride and waited until the humans were at their most vulnerable.

(The Facehuggers obviously ran for the hills when the airlock opened, under a grating- inside a vent and voilà.
When the Facehuggers return, the crew's in cryosleep.)

The egg was a studio insert, from the mentality that "these things have to come from an egg" creating a needless point of contention.
One that we're still discussing, if you don't care about the way the film should have been edited together being the real explanation;
Then in order to take it at face value, with it being in a place it couldn't possibly be. I only have this to say;

"I had a terrible dream in cryosleep."
-Ellen Ripley

+ Dream-like opening, Dream-like ending.

Oh I like the Alien3 is only a dream.  100%

I'd buy everyone here drinks if they'd all agree to that!

I'm gonna upset you a little. There is no possibility for consensus.

Oh, my bad. I thought this topic was about mysterious egg but not about what's canon and what isn't. I meant, that in terms of the egg there's no possibility for consensus.

[OmegaZilla]

This thread must remain open until we reach consensus.

you're tempting me mate

[The Old One]

The Aliens Ending/Alien³ Opening Consensus is achieved though, Reply #2535.

I am Legion, for we are many.

[Local Trouble]

Ooze theory is the only one supported by the WYR.

[The Old One]

Incorrect.

[Local Trouble]

Perhaps you just haven't thought it through long enough.

Extract from something I wrote about the start of Alien 3 for AbsoluteAvP in 2003.

And another take on this whole sequence is it could be from one or multiple characters perspectives and as these characters are all sleeping, the events can take on a disjointed and dreamlike quality.

I've got a post brewing on the whole dream scenario that is probably far too long and meandering for this time of night...
