Work on the Sequels Stopped?

[Paranoid Android]

When I talked about Lambert making a lot of noise and dying, I was referring to this room:


This seems like the storage room for all of their tanks, so it's the sensible place to look for them after they die.

[SM]

I don't think it makes much difference either way to the discussion.  The amount of racket she was making would've gotten anyone stroppy, nevermind an 8' monster.

The point isn't the amount of noise Lambert makes, but rather that Ripley has a good reason to know where she is. Parker and Lambert go to get coolant; Ripley finds them in a room designated for coolants.

[SM]

They went to two different rooms to get coolant that were nearby each other, so yeah Ripley probably had a good idea where to look.  However that's not going to ultimately answer the question at hand about intricacies about the comm system.

Jones hangs loose on the bridge, at Dallas's station according to Alan Dean Foster.

[SM]

Generally.

Except when the Alien is shutting him into lockers....

[Gash]

Yeah, but there's no comms in lockers.

[SM]

That we know of... 

[Gash]

Only Brett's long johns.

[SM]

No wonder Jones was grumpy.

LOL going back for the cat.

[Gash]

LOL going back for the cat.

She doesn't actually go back for the cat, she just includes him in the evac. There's no countdown to detonation going on at this stage.

Mustve been over 5 years or more, i thought she was already on her way after activating the detonator then goes for Jones (again)?

Just saw Dunkirk. It's a masterpiece!!!!

How do we get Chris Nolan to make an Alien movie? Someone send him a bottle of scotch!

No, she drops the catbox when she finds the Alien between her and the shuttle.  After failing to stop the countdown, she picks him up where she left him and launches.
