Lambert answered?

I personally think it was to add suspense "will Ripley be able to save her before she is killed" type of thing . I think it killed her by a stab through the lower back, in all the books I have read they have never hinted to anything that would suggest that a Alien would Sexually violate someone. Heck according to the books most of the time the Queens are able to reproduce without mating but in one of the books it does state that their are such things as male Aliens and they compete for the Queens affections then she "courts" them which involves throwing him around a bit and if he survives they mate if not he dies and she impregnantes herself so yeah, I don't see any stock in the whole the Alien raped her ideas.

I have to admit my post int his just a bit ago is based on books and what not, I have not seen the extras on the Quadrilogy and based on what Sparticus has said I think it is possible but one question I admit I have read a lot tonight in this and the other threads but could it the Alien did need to regenerate as someone said and that is why it had to violate her to get a enzyme or something. I also find it interesting what the commentary says because during the time this movie came out there is no way the movie would have been released if it featured homosexual scenes or inter species sex, at least not in theaters and such heck that movie would probably never have been allowed to be released I the US with that in it. I maybe rambling now though lol. Thank you for your transcipting of the commentary it has given me a lot to think about.

Also it is my belief that the gout of flame that almost got Ripley is the result of her shutting down the coolant system. It would be my guess that some of the hoses carries flammable gasses in them and one burst due to pressure and was ignited by a off screen source or maybe even by Ripleys own flamethrower.

Lambert is barefoot in the scene that Ripley finds them. It is disorienting because one of the toes is broken, but her bare foot is dangling and covered in blood. Even implied nude in some shots.

It wouldn't surprise me if the Alien violently raped Lambert, considering the movie has a good amount of sexual overtones. I bet if the movie actually showed Lambert getting raped by the Alien before getting killed, the movie would've been given an X-rating.
