Bishop in Alien 3 - Human or Android?

[Uncanny Antman]

Aww, snap!  Good point. 

[maledoro]

Ash didn't, and there was nothing that indicated that Bishop did.

Didn't Johner refer to Call as "plastic"?  I never got the impression Bishop was metal from the remains Ripley spoke to,

I don't re"call" (sorry) if he did, but funny that you should mention that. Yesterday, I watched some of the Alien Resurrection preproduction videos and saw how they had made Call's chest cavity: no metal.

[Kimarhi]

Hydraulic fluid is used to lift parts and stuff around through the use of extreme pressure.  I'd think Ash and Bishop and Call while having some stored somewhere, spew out more of a lubricant than anything else.

Unless in the future they can use milk to generate force under massive amounts of pressure.

This scene ain't in my version of the movie!!! I've been tricked by some sort of 'bishop is an android' conspiracy or something.

Though it still is hard for me to change my belief, this debate is over for me.

If you don't own the Quadrilogy, you are four years behind the times.

You mean "Bishop II Is Human" conspiracy. It's not really a conspiracy if the people who had created that character have gone on record saying that he was human.

Though it still is hard for me to change my belief, this debate is over for me.

That's okay. There are some adults out there who still believe in the Easter Bunny. As for the debate being over; you'll be back.

he was an andriod

after #85 hit BISHOP dead squarely on the side of the head with a metal pipe
i saw no evidence to support the theory that he was in fact human

his whole side of his too rubbery afterwards

a human hit that hard would not have gotten up so quickly period

also there was no sign blood from what i could tell

i'll give you the benefit of the doubt here on the blood and rubber face - i'll have to go back and check it again

but i still stand by my statement that he was andriod

RIPLEY's reaction gave it way

- she clearly believe him up to that point but changed your whole stance afterwards, after BISHOP got hit - why because she knew BISHOP was lying and in fact was just another andriod sent by the company to try to lure her

[That Yellow Alien]

...Not another android believer. Look, the commentary on Alien 3 said that he is human. In the script he is human.

The people involved with Alien³ say he's human. You lose.

From what you had posted here and in your next post, there is no evidence that you've seen Alien³, either.

No, it wasn't.

a human hit that hard would not have gotten up so quickly period

Humans who had been hit harder have gotten up just as quickly. Some never knew that they were injured.

Oh, LAWNMOWERMAN! You have a long overdue appointment with Dr. Angelo!

listen just take it from us he was human...

[Spidey3121]

I always thought he was an android. I know it he bleeds red after being hit in the head by 85 but even so i just always thought he was an Android. People can argue that he was a human all they want but nothing will prob change my mind. I'm sure people who always thought he was human would never buy that he was an Android either.

[joballs45]

i dont understand how anyone argue the script it says hes a human...

Psssst! I have to whisper this because certain people on this thread feel very strong about this topic.. but it has been said that AvP screws with the continuity of the first films by having a character that walk, talks, sounds, looks, smells, feels like a humanoid version of Bishop.  People have their theories about that too..  The problem is.. .... ... ....OH NO! I have to go!  Someone's coming! shhh  I wasn't here.

there also years and years apart...
