How the Assembly Cut Fixes Alien 3 (Video Essay)

Ripley: "Pilot light for what?"
Dillon: "for the Lord to come!"

Dillon's so good. I'm a black belt atheist, but I love his character so much.

Dillon is one of the most badass characters in the franchise no doubt. Always love his last stand and motivational speech

[Local Trouble]

Dillon is one of the most badass characters in the franchise no doubt.

Before he went to prison:



He was no murderer or rapist.  He sold counterfeit office supplies.

Dillon is great.
His whole acting and the charisma he has is a big plus for Alien 3.
The scene in the cantina alone when Ripley appears for the first time is great and the speech during the funeral/birth is one of the most intense moments in the entire saga.
I thought it was great that at least Eaglemoss released a figure of him.
neca?
hot toys?

THE WEYLAND YUTANI SPACE STATION - GATEWAY
The huge Gateway compound is governed by the civilian faction - but its purpose is to serve the larger needs of the scientific-business hierarchy. And one of the larger needs of any society is security -- the Military is well represented on the man-made island in space....The citizens on Gateway feel that their outpost is the prototype for future cities on Earth -- all classes and all races participating harmoniously within an "enlightened capitalism." But there is a sense of isolation... Due to the vast distances involved (Gateway is too far out for direct contact to Earth) radio signals take two weeks to arrive and two weeks back. A lag of time of a month for all communication ...

They must've remembered Gateway was in Earth's orbit, and invented another station.

Sounds like Rapture, from Bioshock. Which, experientially, Isolation kind of reminded me of while playing it the first time. Full circle!

Not quite, Alien Isolation being more System Shock than Bioshock.
