Egg on Sulaco

[Huggs]

I don't know why you'd set yourself on fire.

The egg! 

[The Old One]

There is no egg.

What was said, was for me and me alone .

I believe.

Does this mean we've achieved consensus?  Is everyone ready to accept my ooze theory?

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."

You mean that Queen had put some kind of ooze on Sulaco that eventually turned into the egg? I can accept it.

There is no egg.

Anyone kept track of how many theories we've come up with in the 166(!) pages this thread has ploughed on for?

If all the films are canon, I'm now saying it definitely had to have been the droid.

Look at Prometheus and A:C. The movies show that androids are pure evil.

Why should Bishop have been the only non-evil android?

Why would Bishop go beyond following the company's orders? We all know the company wanted the alien. Bishop would be programmed to follow the company's orders. And he did not *directly* harm any people, just as he said he wouldn't.

I know there are still problems in this theory, but I do think it makes a lot more sense, even if traditional lovers of 'Aliens' don't like it.

Why should Bishop have been the only non-evil android?

He came after the "evil" droids. Assuming there was no change in legislation is less realistic than assuming people were allowed to continue unabated.

Why would Bishop go beyond following the company's orders?

He wasn't company property; he was with the marines and the ECA, not Weyland Yutani.

His program also said "by omission of action allow to come to harm." Placing eggs on the Sulaco would allow people to come to harm.

[Rankles75]

As well as the obvious logistical problems, having Bishop do it would ruin his whole character arc.
