Too many things I enjoy about A3 and making it a dream just feels creatively bankrupt. I was never down with Blommys retconning either.

Puts all the cool stuff that features things from it in a rather awkward context though!

I guess Ripley couldn't replicate it properly when she was in her dream state imagining Alien 3 and Resurrection

Some people get upset at the idea of Alien 3 being nothing but a dream.

I am not one of those people.

I just want you to know that got a hefty laugh out of me

I love the film, so thinking about how to make production stuff like this "fit in" I find pretty fun, even though I know it not to be the case I like to think the cryotubes load from one design into the other as they are ejected into the emergency escape vehicle.

Blasphemy. I like the creativity but I can't accept it, outlandishly POPPYCOCK I say!


I think we need to see the blue prints of the sulaco then. I just don't see it being different unless there's something that shows it. I'd assume you would keep the same design at such a critical part of the ship that opens and closes doors to the vacuums of space

Digging into this always makes my head hurt, it was a dream


And that was my next question what's up with the cryo chamber and the EEV I never understood that about A3 or looked into it. Was there a reasoning it was different.

Unfortunatly its the closest we'll ever get to an answer.

Also would explain the angle and strange look of the egg. And we don't see all of the subflooring in the whole bay, there could be an area under that floor where this egg is.

And if you think this is crazy, read Gibsons Alien 3 drafts. The egg literally grows out of bishops abdomen because the queens tail left the micro egg goo behind.

We also know what the cryotubes look like, but Alien 3 didn't seem to care about them either.

I'm not saying this is a bad theory but I'm trying to make sense of this. So here's my questions. There's literally nothing to back this claim. Aside from egg morphing, we cannot just assume a microscopic egg managed to fully grow outside of its sac. And you mention fully functional. How did it manage to get to a fully functional state without the sac then? The eggs are so large that they have to be microscopic as they enter the sac to then fully grow. So now you take away the sac and all of the sudden it can still grow with a developed face hugger? And it still doesnt answer the grated floor question. We see Newt in the floors so we know what they look like. The queen only walked in a relatively small place after coming down from the dropship

Microscopic egg doodad plus host = egg morphing
