Egg on Sulaco

[Local Trouble]

Yeah, I didn't see it either.  Closest thing to it was a computer file showing Ripley's mug with "deceased" under it.

Gibson's first draft has a bunch of magic Aliens on the Sulaco, although he fixed it in his second draft.

Red's has a bunch of magic Aliens on the Sulaco, although it's arguably a dream sequence (but given how batshit nonsensical the rest of that script is I wouldn't like to say for certain).

Twohy's doesn't feature the Sulaco at all.

Ward's has a bunch of magic Aliens on the Sulaco, although it's only mentioned in dialogue.




We should be glad all we got was an egg.

I stick to my theory that makes it work in my head:

The queen while inside the dropship, produced an emergency egg embryo that she attached to the inside of the drop ship on the roof, where it would grow to mature size, taking way longer than a normal egg that is grown in her eggsack, unlike normal egg that takes ca 3 hours to produce, this took days.
Hence why its updside down and smaller etc.

In the theatrical cut it produced two facehuggers, one with a queen and one with a drone to protect said queen.(aliens exctinction game have this feature too).
In the assembly cut: it produced a super facehugger that laid a queen in ripley and then a drone in the ox/dog.

I buy you the argument. In William Gibson's script, the egg in Bishop's gut was also formed from genetic material from when the queen broke it in two with her tail, so it is possible that it matured for days or weeks until I form at all.

Twohy's script would have worked much better as an Alien 4, and it would have required very little modification.

I believe he still got to use some of it for Chronicles of Riddick.

Twohy's didn't, did it? It doesn't start with the Sulaco. Or is it a later reveal?

It didn't.  It started with a mining ship in a meteoroid swarm.  Don't think the Sulaco rates a mention.

They came across a fossilized facehugger if I remember rightly.

Thanks for the clarification, Hicks.

An excellent idea that would have worked even better in Alien 4 as a far more logical alternative to cloning Ripley.

Turns out it wasn't fossilised and was just a spider shaped suit.

Wait, was it fossilised or about twenty years old? I can never tell with this series...

Even if this was retconned as something from last thursday, in art these kinds of things are presented to you as fossils to indicate you that it is Old.

I think it'd work better shortly after the events of Alien 3.  A company survey team could stumble across it while inspecting Fury prior to its sale, followed by a time jump to satisfy the strict requirement of honoring Ripley's sacrifice.
