He was one of those that saved Alien 3, as far as I know. I got this from the Perfect Organism podcast

RIP

*With a kind of Apone voice* Everything is clear here we're back to normal people.

Thanks to the staff for getting rid of the nonsense.

@BigDave, Giger’s mural is certainly fascinating and magnificent, but it would have given too much of the plot away had it actually been used in the production of Alien. Having said this, imagine an alternate working where Mother decrypts the Derelict’s beacon... Instead of it being blandly reported as being a warning, she decrypts this image from the message and hides it from the crew. Ripley then teases the graphic out of Mother before learning of Special Order 937. As Ripley had not actually seen the Alien at that time, it would have doubled down on her fear; would make for a great scene in my opinion.

For those who don’t know, the painting was largely inspired by Nut, the Egyptian Sky Goddess. Do a Google image search and you’ll see what I mean.

Well I thank you for your effort. Happy X-mas to you too.

Duplicate.

But really thank you guys. 

Right. You see, Mr. Dk and I feel that the bonus situation has never been on a-an equitable level.

I logged out and backed off when I saw the hacked window. 

Thanks for a pretty quick fix.

Now, I think we need to talk about the bonus situation.

Heard somewhere around the blogs watercooler, "I think a refund is in order after all this nonsense."

"But BigDave you don't have to put quarters in these Xbox's to surf the web site."

Bigdave, "I still want my refund WHERE IS MY DAMN QUARTER!"

LOOOOOOOOOOOL

“Oh no, no, no, it’s Christmas Captain and I want to open my presents.”

Finally, they reached the edge of the forest and Charlie had his first view of the craft, even three kilometres away it was huge. He took in the sweep of the left-hand horn and its curious shapes at the end of the 'tail'. "Good god and these things were all hidden in underground silos."

Anyway, what happens when David wears out or suffers a catastrophic failure? What did Weyland know about that?

A scene emerged of waves crashing endlessly against a coastline. A Lone Acolyte appeared on the seashore. The Acolyte looked around him a puzzled frown on his face, for many minutes he looked out across the ocean and considered the dwarf sun and its reflections on the waters and then he turned to face the land and began to consider his immediate surroundings, suddenly he stopped, his attention drawn by a single object. He walked towards it. He touched the shape and comprehension dawned on the acolyte's face. The acolyte turned and looked to the North between a gap in the mountain range, which skirted the sea, and then he set eyes on it for the first time, the Great Mountain of the planet wreathed in cloud. He picked up the clothing beside the large shape, dressed, in the cloak of the acolytes and began walking toward the mountain.

"I?" can’t..….. I can’t create life what does that say about me

Before them, a circle of Ovoid’s and in their midst, wreathed in majesty their mother. She called to them and their Petals flew back. From the naval of Shiva, Elizabeth, new life, catalysed by the very source of creation, leapt into the air and bore down on the ancient ones, overcoming all.

David turns the ampule on its length and the black cloudy substance lurking at the top of the ampule filters down and merges with the Green Liquid.

“I finally isolated the core components of the material. It combines some part of what I believe is the very essence of creation with something conceived and designed by the Engineers of the Moon.”

Elizabeth’s reproductive system treated this new mRNA as if it were generated from her own DNA, but the DNA inside the cell’s nucleus remains untouched which he hoped would fool the mutagen.

PROBLEM RESOLVED: A few new accounts had signed up yesterday and attempted to exploit areas of the profile section. I have since located the exploit and resolved affected code which should prevent any and all future attempts by similar means.

Thank you to everyone who alerted me of this issue. I've nuked the offenders from orbit, just to be sure.

Hey guys, I am aware of the issue and am looking into this actively. Please refer to the website URL, if the domain is a subdomain (example: scified.something.com) do NOT enter any log in details. If you were logged in prior to opening a page, you should NOT need to log in again. Also, if you're browsing on mobile and it tries to load a desktop version of the site with broken images, something is definitely off.

I'm in the process of tracking this down and will have it resolved ASAP. Thank you to everyone who has let me know!

We are very aware of the bugs and other problems on the site.

We've been messaging Chris about it, and all we can do now is wait until he fixes these bugs. When will that happen, is unknown.

Yep I saw the same damn thing on two of my topics. I steered clear of it. Thanks for the heads up BigDave.

YES some Pages got Hack/Script/Bot

ADVICE...... if you are TAKEN to the LOG-IN PAGE like image i shown...  

scified.scienceontheweb.net  is NOT a known WEBPAGE and so DO-NOT attempt to LOG-IN as it could be a Hijack to Steal your USER DETAILS!

Same exact thing here. I've sent a message as well. I have some weird things on a couple of my topics as well.

Something Strange?  Who ya Gonna Call?

But on a Serious Note!  YES!

I am experiencing being able to be Logged In and Comment on some Pages but some i get taken to a LOG IN Page which i am NOT sure is Suspicious so be Careful.

But i have Contacted some Members of Staff and Hopefully it will be Sorted ;)

Test

"First, long before the Engineers, the greatest civilization in the history of the known universe developed. The closest we can come to the anatomy of these beings is the mural on the wall in Prometheus"

I think that if i am to go to the Original Topic, which i ASSUME is about Exploring the Possibility that the Xenomorph (or something that has its Ancestral Roots) had ONCE (maybe still out there) were a Technological Advanced Alien Species.

Then YES we could introduce that, i think IF we do look at the Xenomorph then it has NOT been Portrayed as anything like that, but then thats what the Majority of the Medium seems to Indicate.

While the Franchise seems to SHOW us a Ravid Killing Machine.... with ALIENS it did introduce us to the HIVE MENTALITY... our Xenomorphs seemed to just EXIST to Procreate... like say TERMITES.

HOWEVER... we Clearly see they are Intelligent to some Degree.   And we have to BARE in mind that with Hadleys Hope what essentially Happened was the Jordans had came into Contact with the Unborn Stage of this Species if you would.

Therefor if we say took some Human Babies and you Raised them Confined to CELLS where they have NO Interaction apart from being FED etc... Until they are 3-4 Years Old then you Stick them in a Enclosure Together with NO Contact apart from FEEDING...   these Infants are NOT going to become Adults that are Civilized and WILL  be NOTHING more than CAVE-MEN!

The HIVE on Hadleys Hope was Weeks Old.. so who is to say WHAT LEVEL of Advancement the Xenomorph could Achieve in 5, 10, 25 Years etc......  they have shown to have a Degree of Intelligence, they have Hands that could be as Dexterous as Humans and so i GUESS we cant RULE-OUT that GIVEN TIME they would NOT advance BEYOND what we saw in ALIENS.

I would HOWEVER... think that Introducing something NEW as the Species in Question would be better, the STARBEAST and we have the LV-223 Experiments that the Xenomorph are a Result of, as ALL being something that was Engineered from the DNA/TRAITS of the so called Starbeast if you would.  It would introduce a NEW LAYER where we can Incorporate the Original Idea and look at some of HR Gigers to give us something more Lovecraft meets Giger.

Test EDIT 05 Feb 2021

:-/

I got to say I'm among the few that decision didn't bother, but I'll save that for a separate topic.

Whoops. Yeah I didn't like that Vincent Ward did that to Newt and Hicks.

To be fair, killing them wasn't his or Walter Hill's idea. The idea belongs to Vincent Ward, he viewed it as Ripley's journey. He also thought Newt was annoying.

RIP David Giler, thank you for your contribution to the Alien series. Although Alien 3 was neither my favorite or my unfavorite, I did love a lot of the concepts (both unused and used) contributing to the movie as a whole, except for the part where Newt, Hicks, and eventually Ripley were killed.

"I cannot find confirmation of the rumor that they are the original Engineers"

I recall that Ridley Scott (but i cant seem to FIND where or HOW i recalled it) he had claimed those Engineers on Planet 4 are the Original Engineers.   He has also said the Engineers are NOT a Species but a Civilization.

He has also said before that WHY can we assume the Engineers can-not have Different Races/Differences like we Humans can.  So i think there was a LOT we could have Expanded on with the Engineers that we are UNLIKELY to really see NOW as FAR as the Connections and Ancient Agenda.    I think RS does leave Clues... its you can MISS them... but he is so Vague with them so its always OPEN for Interpretation... he can also Change his Mind lol  If you read between the Lines then even comments regarding WHAT it is that David does Next would give some Insight.... i think regarding the LV-223 Engineers i think they are similar to David and so his Story is maybe a Retelling of those LV-223 Engineers and WHY they did what they did.

But in Context to the OT... then YES i think if we are looking at Ancient History we have to ask about the Engineers Origins.... and also i think that YES you can have another Species that are Related to the Xenomorph Aesthetic be Introduced in a WAY that Offers more than the Xenomorphs where Eventually Portrayed as.

This MURAL has ALWAYS really Interested me

"Humanity originated on Earth in a natural way. Then the ancient aliens, anticipating their extinction, captured several people and modified them, thereby creating the Engineers."

Dont be DAFT!!! Joke ;)  you know what this would be a CURVE-BALL.... when i had a Source who had information on Prometheus 2 Circa Autumn 2014 they had Claimed that the Engineers are NOT the Gods, they Claimed that Mankind is like the 4th/5th Generation of our Kind... they also Claimed that Mankind had a BIGGER role in the Xenomorph Creation and also regarding the Human/Engineer Connection there would be a CURVE-BALL

And so "WE CREATED THEM" would be a Big Curve-ball.

I think when we look at our Engineers in Prometheus and the Alien Covenant you did get the Impression (well i do) that those beings are Genetically Engineered versions of the more Human looking inhabitants on Planet 4, they could be a Sub-Created Engineered Superior Species that are Created for Specific Reasons....  like how David is to us or the Replicants... this could lead to Rebellion or Jealously by these LV-223 Engineers and Motivate them to Commit the Horrors they had done.  Ridley Scott had referred to them as Fallen Angels... the Fallen Angels had Rebelled against their Creator and their own Kind, they had been Cast Out, Mutated and become a Species that HATE their Brothers and Gods more Favored Children Mankind.

The above may NOT connect to the OT... but you can take Influence from it.... by having the Origins of the Engineers being a Race that was Enslaved, Created or came to some Agreement with the Starbeast, but they then REBELLED and then STOLE the Starbeast Technology.

Regarding the SPACE GARDENERS... i think if we look at Prometheus it kind of gets away from the OT, but it seems that what we had was Space Gardeners as the MAIN ROLE of the Engineers... but something CHANGED for Certain, something that made some of their Kind Experiment with stuff that Connects to the Xenomorph and LV-223...   ALIEN ENGINEERS held a lot of Clues to this... and to me it seems a SIMILAR kind of PLOT to Starbeast only they had Sucsess.

In other Words some of the Engineers encountered a Ancestor to the Xenomorph and became Fascinated by it, saw Potential with it and Experimented on it... where the Xenomorph was ONE of the Outcomes.

There is a BIG PLOT that could be Covered, that is kind of like the OT but also Connect to LV-223, its something i mentioned before....  which you have to look at the Original Inception of the Engineers to start to PAINT a Picture they was a Race who Engineered themselves to LOOSE the Ability to Procreate, they had been Attempting to Transcend to a Higher Pane of Existence... seemed this maybe Failed and they Got Concerned that Mankind could Grow to Replace them...

So then you ASK... ok WHY the Xenomorph?  I think that Alien Resurrection has the Answer... RIPLEY 8... she has Genetic Memory... In effect Ripley has been Reserected and so something with the Xenomorph has done this... IF the Engineers encountered some Ancient Relation, where they saw this BEAST as the KEY to REINCARNATION that would give GOOD Reason for them to want to be Experimenting with them.

When we go UP to a Higher Level... the Starbeast was a Intelligent Species, but they NEED a Host to Procreate.. but a Curve-ball could be that the Starbeast when they come to the END of their Life-Cycle... they will Egg-Morph a Host to PASS ON their Genetic Memory this will Revert back to a SPORE/EGG where this Species can then REINCARNATE themselves...   You Connect a ANCIENT SPECIES to then the Agenda to WHY would the Engineers be interested... to then we see with Ripley 8 it shows the Potential.... the Xeno-Strain can Act as a FORM of Reincarnation/Immortality.

Sorry if thats Getting to be OFF TOPIC... but i think its something that can Expand/Uplift the Original Topic as YES i think it would be GREAT to Explore some Related Ancient Species to the Xenomorph... something that also touch on what HR Giger had on his Mind and become something a bit LOVECRAFTIAN.

Welcome aboard XenomorphAwakening

I think that YES the Initial Intention for the Xenomorph was something that was Different to how it Evolved too.  With ALIEN we had Ridley Scott at one point trying to OFFER a Ending where Ripley is Dead, but the Xenomorph would MIMIC her Voice to LURE the Next Batch of Victims in.  I think that even though this idea was DROPPED, the DC Versions showed a Agenda/Plan for the Xenomorph rather than just being a Killing Machine.

The Xenomorphs Roots was from the Starbeast Idea by Dan'Obannon and at its Inception then the Spores (that became the Eggs) where PART of the Life-cycle of a Civilized Alien Species, who Constructed Pyramids to USE for their Birthing Rituals which required a Sacrificial Host.   There was NO SIGNS of this Species or Civilization apart from this ANCIENT PYRAMID all that remained was their Spore/Egg Stage that was WAITING for a Host so to speak.

At this Stage of Development the Space Jockey was NOT what we had in ALIEN we had a Separate Ship that was Derelict that had NO CONNECTION to the Starbeast (Xenomorph) they was merely a ALIEN Species who had Stumbled on this World and gone to Investigate the Pyramid and became Infected....

But things Changed during the Process before we had ALIEN which included Walter Hill and David Giler coming in and Changing the Dan O'bannon and Ronald Shusett so that the Pyramid became a Cylinder and the Xenomorph to be a Engineered Weapon Created by Mankind.

Lucky this was Changed... and we then had HR Giger come in to Re-Design the Space Jockey, Ship, Cargo Hold and our Xenomorph  there was a LOT of Mystery regarding the Space Jockey and Connection with the Xenomorph that had been IGNORED until the Prequels.

With the Indication in the Mind of Ridley Scott even prior to the Prequels that we are dealing with a BIO-WEAPON thats likely Engineered/Created.....

But this KIND of idea does-not SIT-WELL with some Fans, who view the Xenomorph as its OWN Species that are Ancient, but then when we look at ALIEN what we see is a Alien Species that adapt the same kind of Life/Survival as HIVE Species on Earth like Bees, Wasps, Ants and Termites... but of course they are MORE Intelligent than Bugs ;)

I think your THEORY is something that some Fans would like to see, it kind of GETS BACK to what the Starbeast was...

I think some Interpret the MURAL as a GOD like being the Engineers Worship (i think they are MISTAKEN but thats for another Time).

"something goes wrong and instead of the supreme intelligence of the original species they end up with the super-predator we are familiar with"

Certainly something along the Lines could work, i have said before that will UPSET some, that maybe the Xenomorph has RAN its Course..... but this does-not mean we can look at its Ancestry and come Across something we can DRAW a Connection to, something Similar but Different and something that is Intelligent, predates the Engineers maybe?   Something maybe the Engineers gained Knowledge and Technology Off or had Stolen/Reverse Engineered from?

And so i think that YES we could introduce a Species that are Aesthetically similar to the Xenomorph to where the Xenomorph was a attempt to Re-Engineer Traits from this STARBEAST if you would.... YES this could work.

I have always said there is a WAY you could GO back to have something that Predates the Xenomorph that is a Reflection of the Original Starbeast and also UPLIFT the Xenomorph via this.

"I don't believe it had anything in particular to do with being disappointed in humans or even that they intended to dump the Black Goo on Earth indiscriminately"

Certainly...... remember sometimes to CREATE then One must First DESTROY.  So i have always Wondered if the Engineers on LV-223 had decided they wanted to EVOLVE other Species using the Xeno-Related Strains in the Black Goo as maybe they FELT that this Species DNA was Perfection instead of their Humanoid DNA... this PLOT works Best if say those Engineers are more in Common with David than those Planet 4 Engineers.

Well i think there is some HISTORY with the Nostromo, with some Sources saying the Ship was a Cruiser prior to being Refitted and Upgraded to become a Faster Towing Ship/Hauler.

I think if there was a TV Series set in the Time-Line say 2106-2116 a Space Exploration Series, you could have the Nostromo appear for a Little while, maybe as a Cameo (we see it being Refitted and pay a Visit to the inside).

I think if you was to Commit a TV Show to the Nostromo you have to Bear in Mind if your having say 5-6 Hours where a your going to Include the Nostromo you have to have some Plot/Story thats Interesting rather than say so WHAT kind of Haulage Job did it do before.

Where it would likely have to be something to do with WHERE they was going or the Haulage that they are Towing... then you introduce a Threat... but that could be anything really, as you said we DONT have to keep going to the Xenomorph or even Similar.

You have to think what kind of Cargo etc would be Potentially Dangerous, or something that someone would WANT and try to Hijack etc.... be is Space Piracy or a Rival Firm trying to STEAL the Haul!

I think if you did a Space Exploration TV Show, Building Better Worlds or whatever.... then seeing the Nostromo as a Easter Egg would be maybe a way to SHOW IT.

I mean you could ADD IT to say the Colonial Marines TV Show idea... where One Episode is dealing with a Space Piracy/Hijack or Rogue A.I on some Large Ship and that during the Marines Mission they had to Damage the Engine Systems... and we then at the END see that the Nostromo is sent out to HAUL the Marooned Ship back to our Solar System etc.

 I dig it too lol.

Oh, I would not have the Nostromo maiden journey encounter any alien life forms ( that would be lame ) It would be about the crew and recreating the Nostromo's interior ( all that cool 70's stuff ) Original soundtrack with the spooky 70's vibe. 

If an Alien tv series has to have a xeno attack in every episode then this series is doomed.

Yes, that's really good stuff.

I have almost the same theory, but with a slight difference.

Humanity originated on Earth in a natural way. Then the ancient aliens, anticipating their extinction, captured several people and modified them, thereby creating the Engineers. Perhaps in order for the Engineers to revive the aliens in the future. Or simply to make the Engineers their heirs.

In the ampule room Charlie Holloway said: "it's just a grave". A grave for alien race.

Then, recalling Ridley Scott's early pre-Promethean comments about the Space Jockey's civil war. SJ=Engieers now, so there is a theory of war between factions of Engineers.

One faction used the legacy of the Aliens to create the new worlds. The are Space Gardeners.

Another faction used the legacy of aliens for their own development. They were arrogant and selfish, and did not tolerate competition (source: early leaks for Prometheus). They are Space Jockeys. They defiled the grave of the aliens, setting their own head statue there, thereby shading the aliens into the background. It is possible that their attitude towards aliens was the same as David's towards humans and Engineers. They did not respect strangers and did not see them as gods, but looked at them as material for experiments:

1) They have perfected themselves (The Last Engineer on LV-223 looks like alien - biomechanoid).

2) They turned the legacy of aliens into bioweapon and ultimately exterminated (?*) the first faction - the Space Gardeners.

3) They also decided to destroy "competitors", including primitive earthlings.

During the last sabotage on LV-223, the Space Jockeys were unable to attack Earth, and their only ship to take off crashed on LV-426.

*There are probably isolated communities of Space Gardeners somewhere else, but they hide.

About the inhabitants of the Planet 4.

Remember the faces of their leaders, scientists and sages, carved into the rock and inside the main building? They look like the head in the ampoule room on LV-223. Plus ship design: docking ship above the city square and U-shaped ships below the surface.

Think of the Gardeners' flying saucer from Prometheus. Separately, this means little, but together it shows that the inhabitants of Planet 4 are also part of the aggressive Space Jockey faction. They are not kind beings. Perhaps they joined the Space Jockeys, or perhaps they were their founders!

I cannot find confirmation of the rumor that they are the original Engineers. But if so, then it is not necessarily literal. The "original" means the founders, the head of the faction of Space Jockey.

From this point of view, David stripped their faction of the leadership and saved the galaxy.

@Xenotaris

Yeah the Present Day setting BUGGED me... i think if we had it in say 2150-2250 Time-Line and we had Explorers go to a World/Moon where they Detected some Ancient Pyramid that resembled some on Earth with Hieroglyphs indicating and then Flash Back showing that the Predators had Visited us in the Past to take us to this PYRAMID on a Far Away World.

such a Plot could have been the same to a Degree as Prometheus but released YEARS prior.. it could have Worked.

Where the AIM was so we are Sacrificed so the Predators can have their Ultimate Hunt... then i think the MOVIE would have worked better and had more Scope for Sequels.

But to ignore that it is a Decent Popcorn Action Horror.

I think that IF it is DONE RIGHT then a AVP Reboot could be something they get more Success with than Stand Alone with ALIEN and PREDATOR   Both those Franchises have Suffered with their Last Movies and are in a Bit of  Pickle to Continue.. (does not mean they are Finished). But ONE more Bad Apple and they could be in the same Situation as the Terminator Franchise.

The AVP Series a lot of us take as Alternative and are Disappointed it DOES-NOT go with the Video Game/Comics Universe...  and so this could be Considered something thats FUN and Popcorn that would be to Disneys liking like the Marvel Series.

And so a Reboot could be something that could WORK?

Shame this Topic has not come up....as...

A Former Xenomorph Civilization as an Explanation for the Engineer Agenda

A Interesting thing to Ponder and Explore.

Nice Catch...  also Love the Banner Image ;)

"ALIEN CHRONICLES 03: First flight of the Nostromo"

I dont mean to come across as Bashing the Idea... it may be a bit of a Coincidence if the Nostromo was Involved in something similar to what it would also Encounter in Future.

But you cant go and RULE-OUT that some Ship/Mission had already been to LV-426 before the Nostromo, or Certainly Years latter....  But this was Covered with the Alien Isolation Plot...

But i still think looking at ALIENS then the Derelicts Damage to where the Jordons had Entered.. it looked like some kind of Internal Explosion or a External Missile or Meteor Strike... and so there could be a STORY there ;)

But regarding what the Nostromo had been up-to prior to ALIEN then it seems like shes Quite Old, maybe she had a Different Role than just being a SPACE TUG... at some-point she would have been Upgraded inc New Propulsion/FTL System and became a TUG and then Dallas and Ripley etc had been Enlisted as Crew.

I am not trying to Dispel the idea that before ALIEN that some Horrors could be Found by Mankind... Certainly with a Galaxy with Planets that have to some Degree the ability to have Life then would all LIFE be something thats NOT a Threat and also with the Engineers Plot we have to Wonder IF and WHEN had they Deployed their Bio-Weapons on other Worlds..

While i think there is a LOT to the Franchise beyond and behind what we see in the Movies, i do think that some of the Stuff you would be a Little Limited with.

I think Ripley would be a Good Example, and YES she was the Main/Biggest and Well Known Character in the Franchise but she SPENT most of it SLEEPING...  so Beyond the Cryo-Sleep then after the Nostromo Incident she only LIVED for a Few Weeks..  

I think that YES she had done more in her Life than Dealing with Xenomorphs, but then if we go to her Life prior to being Assigned to the Nostromo is there much that is INTERESTING to commit 4+ Hours to?

With the Weyland-Yutani Company then there is  LOT you could do as they again are NOT just going around trying to OBTAIN the Xenomorph.  There are other Things, the MAIN thing we are aware of is BUILDING BETTER WORLDS and that involves Exploring Space/Worlds for Viability to Colonize, Terra-Form or Mine.

But there is other History too as its LIKELY those Companies where ONCE Rivals... prior to the MERGER.... we get a Idea from the Viral Site and Ted Talk material for Prometheus about WHAT kinds of things that Weyland Industries are involved with and you can be SURE that Yutani also has a Library of of Things they are involved with.

If we are considering the Prequels as Canon, then the Merger would have happened within a 10 Year Period after Peter Weyland took his Last Breath on LV-223.

Talking about Specific Characters then YES i think Peter Weyland is a Big Player in the Background.  With the History from the Ted Talk then he had already Achieved a LOT more much more would have came NEXT...  I would assume that the Period of Greatness for him would have been between 2040-2060 this Certainly would be a Period where the BUILDING BETTER WORLDS became a Reality.

Guy Pearce is quite Underrated in my Opinion, and so his Work Schedule is NOT as Busy as a Lot of A-List Actors, he would also NOT go and Command a Massive Pay Day.. He is currently nearing his Mid 50's and so that makes him Viable to play a Peter Weyland within a Time-Line of say 2040-2060

I think another Interesting Point to look at within the Franchise that has a BIG BEARING on the History of Earth, would be the Period of Time that is Prior to ALIEN RESURRECTION.  It appears the Earth or Part of it has Suffered a Calamity, we see Paris in Ruins.... we also learn that Synthetics have Sub-Created the Autons and from Call we get the Picture the Autons have more Care for Humanity than Synthetics and so their is a HISTORY and Rivalry on Earth and Conflict... Mankind can WAR against each other a LOT but when you throw in A.I/Synthetics and they Sub-Create too then you have a Number of Players/Parties looking to have their SLICE of the Earth which is a Recipe for War and Destruction as seen with Paris at the END of Alien Resurrection.

I think the Problem we have with a ALIEN TV Show is that there would be a Expectancy for it to have the ALIEN in some part.

Wow! Nice catch. Love to hear Kamen's original piece for the scene.
