Peace was never an option.

The thread's proof enough.

So how did the egg get there?

A inane 20th Century Fox request.

I mean in-universe.  Did Bishop do it?

Yes. No. Maybe. Depends.

Spoiler

It was the intention during shooting that it was an unclear amount of surviving Facehuggers
that hitched a ride and waited until the humans were at their most vulnerable.

(The Facehuggers obviously ran for the hills when the airlock opened, under a grating- inside a vent and voilĂ .
When the Facehuggers return, the crew's in cryosleep.)

The egg was a studio insert, from the mentality that "these things have to come from an egg" creating a needless point of contention.
One that we're still discussing, if you don't care about the way the film should have been edited together being the real explanation;
Then in order to take it at face value, with it being in a place it couldn't possibly be. I only have this to say;

"I had a terrible dream in cryosleep."
-Ellen Ripley

+ Dream-like opening, Dream-like ending.

The question's laughable, the answer's accessible.

Why doesn't Hicks lock the thread?

Because he must know too.  After all, that egg is why he took a safety support through his face.

I don't know, question's answered.

The thread's as circular as the Star Wars prequels.

See WYR, page 125:

QuoteThe other, more likely, theory posits that the queen deposited a resinous egg sac in the landing gear of the dropship, or flung some amount of egg-forming material from her body once the ship was back on board the Sulaco.

That sounds a lot like my ooze theory (although it never occurred to me that she may have "flung" it).

Fantastic fanfiction, but fanfiction.
The rest (fanfiction)'s garbage, E.E, Bishop's responsible, ACM's responsible- e.g.

But the truth's the truth.

May as well just call the entire movie a dream then.  It'd explain the cryotubes.

No. Because we know the film's canon.
Both Alien sequels feature dreaming, and feature "superficial" aspects altered.

Just because it's canon doesn't mean it wasn't a mistake.

Does he even care anymore?
