Egg on Sulaco

[Corporal Hicks]

From the book. Could mean anything though.

It specifies two.

Fair enough.

I never understood in the directors cut where the queen facehugger came from.

from Studio ADI.

(queen facehugger and queen chestburster are a silly idea, anyway. Hinging their entire reproductive system on specific eggs/chestbursters? It's better if any Alien can become a queen..)

If an alien can secrete goo which turns someone into an egg, maybe a facehugger can moult into a super facehugger when it's away from the hive.

The drama in Alien 3 hinges on the fact that the Alien is an existential threat to human civilization

and the alien in it spent the whole movie occasionally eating people for a few days
and just waiting for Ripley to "pop open".

Limiting their reproductive capabilities like that felt.. kinda weak...
as far as depicting a believable "existential threat"
(hell, the alien even needs to be deus ex-machina'd out of a trap at one point)

So, at least a few prisoners should've been eggmorphed at some point.

I personally like the idea of there being two different types of facehuggers.

I don't think a proper director's cut would fix anything.  Fincher didn't seem fussed in explaining things like where the eggs or hugger came from.

I guess even Fincher would not solve the egg origin issue then.

I would still like to see a proper director's cut though.

[SM]

A proper directors cut would have Fincher being involved during the story conception and script writing, and probably end up with something unlike what we got.

Okay guys, so I made time and re-watched the movie. I think that Local Trouble's theory about Bishop makes more sense. Weyland-Yutani had Bishop as a plan-B in case Burke failed. Bishop was programmed to get the egg, but he was also programmed to get it and not even know that he was programmed.

[SiL]

No.

[Immortan Jonesy]

Bishop regurgitates a royal facehugger embryo ala David.

[Local Trouble]

I think that Local Trouble's theory about Bishop makes more sense.

My theory. 

[Gr33n M4n]

I think that Local Trouble's theory about Bishop makes more sense.

My theory. 

So you don't think it was Bishop? I apologize for misrepresenting you.

Bishop could have snatched an embryo from the medical lab.

[SiL]

Also no.

[SM]

Was there an embryo in the medical lab?

[SiL]

Even if there was, it would be a chest buster, not a hugger.
