Is it something to do with Hicks?

nice try sparky but no. regards the two eggs you're talking about in alien 3, allegedy there was 1 in the landing gear of the Dropship and 1 in the EEV, supposedly left behind by the Queen while she was hiding. Thats what they say, but this has nothing to do with the question or answer.

@ Marty - You tell me, lol.

Ok have no clue if im way off the mark as im not sure if we have a "proper" pic of the dead Hicks in his cryo tube in Alien 3 anyways...could it be that in Aliens the bandage we see Hicks wearing is over one eye(cant remember which) but at the Start of 3 its over the other?

@ Marty - Nope.

Damn..I feel like 85 now!

guess what sparky... nope.

This conversation has always seemed way way way way off to me Hudson: Is this gonna be a standup fight, sir, or another bughunt? Gorman: All we know is that there's still no contact with the colony, and that a xenomorph may be involved. Frost: Excuse me sir, a-a what? Gorman: A xenomorph. Hicks: It's a bughunt. How does Hicks even THINK of using that word, it's so wrong, it is such a mistake, he's a Marine not a door to door pest exterminator? He would never have said that off the top of his head like that, and also, It also heavily foreshadows the form the creature would take in Alien3. Marty, I understand how you feel and I think my own IQ must be hoerving around "85" as well today!!!

still nope sparky.

Snorkel is this a visual discrepency?

Maybe, maybe not? I'm not handing it to you guys on a plate, that said you'll kick yourselves when the answer comes to light.

Is it the differences between the Xeno's in Alien and the Runner Alien from Alien 3?

Whaddya mean "Plate"? It's going on 4 hours now bro !!! LMFAO !!!

Now, now Sparky, don't get your knickers in a twist. EP - Nope.

You guys really are struggling with this, tell you what if sparky gives me a point for stumping you all I'll give you another clue.

I think you deserve 2 Points !!! LOL! But yes, we said anyone stumps anyone and it's 100% a point at least.

i'll take 'em the scene in question is in the very first act of the film.

I can only think of the scene in Aliens where Ripley dreams she has a chestburster in her which kind of foreshadows Alien 3 but I can't think of what the discrepancy would be.

Wait it kinda looked like it was trying to burst from her stomach not her chest? **Grasping at straws**

[img]http://9e3k.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/aliens-ellen-ripley-exploding.jpg[/img] And the point goes to Biomechanic, as you can clearly see the burster is poking through her stomach not her chest, essentially foreshadowing the bellybursters from AVPR.

Oh hell no! lol and I don't have a question to ask. While trying to find the answer I found [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tnuthMhAR0&feature=player_embedded#!]this[/url] I am still laughing hold on Ill try to come up with something in a few.

While we wait, does sparky have a recap on the scores.

the problem with this, and it's probably why it gave us so much trouble, and I am just being technical here, is that the rules were we could not make any reference to any films outside of THE ALIEN franchise! So we ONLY considered the question in light of 3 and Resurrection! Just FYI & Point To Biomechanic who now has the con!

I also said it foreshadowed alien 3 which is wrong. I would be fine with half a point for it.

Biomechanic Has The Con ! Thadus12=21.5 Spartacus=14 Tec-B=13 Engineer Prototype - Model GAJ84 = 10 Snorklebottom=10.5 Tec-B=13 Theusprom-3 Neurion=3 Tattooedkoi= 3 Biomechanic=2 Jamieboy=1 SpaceJock=1 Rick=1 Caine1977=1 Thad=.5

IMO, unless officially rebuted by Fox, AVP and AVPR are part of the franchise, plus I have referred to these films in a previous question. In future I'll refer to it as the collective franchise, for clarity - my bad.

@ BM - I wouls say .75 a point, because it does foreshadow Alien 3.

you get a full point BIO and you deserve it, fair and square, NO worries we're just having fun and I am just an Old and Bitter and you guys are so much younger and more verile and better at this than me...lol....boo hoo !!!

No arguements there sparky, you need your hot water bottle yet lol.

Snorkle there's no problem, lets include all of the films from now on anyways!!! Maybe I'll learn a thing or two about 'em 'cause I have pushed them all out of my mind!!!!!!

fair do's sparky. Come BM, what you got for us?

Okay umm I dont know how about: Giger described the eggs inside the derelict as comparable to what?

its not a plague is it?

Not the answer I am looking for but close.

Was it spores or something..

[url=http://www.littlegiger.com/articles/files/Cinefantastique_09_01.pdf]Giger[/url] Check this out GUYS...it is AN AMAZING find!

an infection or infestation? a disease?

Well it was something but spores is not the answer I am looking for. He may very well have described it another way though but what I am looking for is very specific.

Spartacus, infestation is close but be more specific.

Looking for the exact quote here if possible.
