In which case I honestly cannot fathom why anyone would think Bishop 'II' is a robot. I hope all the people voting that he is are doing so because of AvP, otherwise I am bewildered.
Well, I can tell you why I always thought he was a droid up untill around 2005 when I read the Alien 3 novelization.
The movie did a very poor job inclining that hes human, I needed the filmmaker and the noveization to tell me he was. In the credits hes called Bishop II, as oppose to Bishop's Designer. having piece of his face hanging off and almost completely brushing off a hit to the head with a pipe aside, it seems weird to me that the med team didnt even give such supposed hot shot designer ANY sort of concern or medical attention. And yes, a person hit with a metal pipe in the head so hard that side of his face looks like terminator's should be knocked out cold.
Red blood means nothing at all. It was obvious that Ripley wuld first think hes another android since he looks like Bishop, they would then surely anticipate Ripley asking for some proof and the easiest way to recognize a synthetic is by white blood, Id be shocked or chalk nit up to bad writing if he had an actual white blood which would be a dead giveaway. I aso dont see how saying that hes human proves anything, or that him feeling occasional pain says anything. Bishop felt it too
From Lance's sinister performance through the point I pointed out like nobody from med team caring for him being hit to him withstanding a blow to the head, it all seemed rather clear in favor of him being a droid. The credits showing "Bishop II" underlined that thesis
But I really dont want to get into that circular debate again, just explaining why someone would think hes a droid
