Another thing about this that doesn't make sense and will break continuity, if it indeed is what kicks off the egg morphing process, is that brett was abducted and cocooned to the wall before the alien started turning him into an egg.
If the predalien just clamps his mandibles onto the face of the woman in the hospital and carrie adams and pukes or drools in their mouth, it contradicts this fact. So it seems less and less like egg morphing and more like a new shitty direction altogether.
the facts about egg morphing that have been establlished are:
-person is abducted, even possibly injured first and then cocooned in the nest/hive.
-It is the last resort of a lone warrior alien when no hive or queen is present. and only produces an egg
with a queen facehugger, and no more egg morphing will follow upon its hatching.
So the directors decided to elevate the egg morphing to the level of queen egg laying, as if its not a secondary reproductive ability. This makes no sense, and eliminates the need for a queen, if the egg morphing is just as fast and efficient as the rate in which a queen lays eggs. (if it indeed is related to egg morphing)
Also they are changing the egg morphing to now produce normal eggs. By the number of aliens produced this way it becomes more and more unlikely that one of them would not contain a queen. I thought it had been establilshed that if there is no queen, and there is an egg, the warrior aliens could in a sense, turn it into a queen facehugger egg. Why wouldn't they do that here? For all this egg morphing to be taking place and not a queen produced, just defies logic.
