[Spoilers] More Alien: Romulus Leaks, Including More Connections To The Original Film!

Traveling FTL also makes no sense.

It's kind of endemic to the genre though.

[Kimarhi]

For whatever reason, I thought when the crew was awake in all of the movies they weren't going FTL.  If they were then it is a much harder problem to solve.

It's layers of dumb.

[Local Trouble]

SiL is starting to sound black-pilled about the whole damn thing.

What if the start of the movie is just the cast going along in space singing David Bowies space oddity and the Alien just hits the wind shield?

I'm pretty much coming up with all the answers here.

I think regardless of how they found it.. the movie takes place twenty years after the first film.

It would be going at this constant speed with nothing to slow it down. Eventually, it would've been pulled toward some celestial object. It would be far, far from the Narcissus's trajectory.

I just had flash backs of Sebastian telling us the whole plot of AVP from three inscriptions on a random wall.

Spanish man, translates the whole AVP plot for us without looking down the camera , dies stuck to a wall from Lex ( with tears).

*Emotional moment

If it was going the FTL then yes this is a possibility.  If it wasn't the speed of light then it wouldn't be pulled toward anything for what would be an eternity.  It takes our fastest ship now 77,000 years to reach the next closest star. 

Until somebody in universe says that the ships are going FTL or faster (they aren't zipping around Acheron in Alien or Aliens it only takes light 3 minutes to go from the sun to earth so if they were always in FTL speed then they would constantly be zipping past the planets)  when the crew is awake, then I don't believe it, and everything could be formulated to find the Alien.  Yalls non american math just sucks because you use the metric system.  If you used standard like we do, it would make sense how you could program machines capable of going FTL to reverse track the Nostromo and its shuttles flight plan and investigate anything outside the norm.





 

This is all moot anyways, because the movie won't give us anything like that, and we know that the shuttle wasn't recovered till Aliens so there is no way they can have that half of the puzzle in any way that would make sense.

The ships aren't going FTL around planets. Lambert says it's going to take 10 months to get home meaning they're faster than light by that point. They were meant to show this in the exterior shots of the Nostromo but I don't think had the budget.

Resurrection is the most explicit, as the return trip from Pluto to Earth is faster than light and they're all awake.
