That Egg in Alien 3

[quote]Burke never made it back to the Sulaco...he never had the chance to put one there...........[/quote] Has to be incorrect IMO because he clearly knew his way around that section of the ship, CLEARLY...so much so he actually backed his way into that area when he got eaten. Also this all heppened moments after he had gotten caught dumping two live specimens in Newt's & Ripley's sleeping qtrs... NO... IMO it was and could ONLY have been done by BURKE..it is the ONLY explanation that makes any sense what so ever!

Could have been Bishop. As an Synthetic Humanoid he could well have been controlled by the company without realising it. When he disapeared for a while whilst piloting the drop ship, he could well have simply stowed a face hugger and egg onboard, whilst Ripley was rescueing Newt. Hicks was unconsious so no one would have known. His inbuilt programming to protect all humans would have prevented him from leaving Ripley and Newt, but not from securing specimens to take back..... Perhaps he thought that the humans on the Sulaco would be safe from the Huggers as they were in Cryo....

But that doesn't work @brego...if he's working for the company, then everyone is expendable again and there's no point in him taking Ripley to save newt....he would have just said adios....don't you think?

How about this - It's a SCI-FI film - IT'S NOT REAL PEOPLE! IT'S FICTION! Who cares? Bad writers need to make money too!

tHAT'S THE POINT MY FRIEND @ifp123..TO CONVERSE AND SPECULATE....RELAX YOU MAY ENJOY YOURSELF.

In see that point re Bishop Craigmore, however Bishop was not working for the company, he was a Colonial Marine staffer, I believe. Perhaps the company hacked into his system to ensure that Xeno samples were brought back. Of course this plan didnt work, as we know. I dont believe that a Queen could have laid eggs or carried them onto the drop ship. So the only way would be for someone else to smuggle them on board. The only person is Bishop. Remember the scene (reminicent to Ash) where Bishop is studying the dead Facehugger in Med Lab, hes almost in a trance... I reckon that Bishop was being used by the Company. Also Bourke and Bishop explain that it is impossible for an Android to hurt humans as it is written in their code not to. Its the only logical explaination. Having said that, I like the mystery surounding tnhe upside down egg.

stupid really all they had to do was show facehuggers 2 of them no eggs at all... one facehugger could of got trapped and only free when the ship crashed.

Thought I would let you guys know that the upcoming Gearbox game : Aliens Colonial Marines takes place between the flims Aliens and Alien3. If you watch the second video (The one from E3) you will hear them talk about how this game is going to fill in all the "Plot Gaps" between the 2 films including how the eggs ended up on the Sulaco at the beginning of Alien 3. http://www.sega.com/alienscolonialmarines/ Hope this helps.

That'll really be a trick, fixing that mess...good luck to them

After the great transitiom from alien to aliens the transtion to the 3rd was very weak, great to read about the dubious egg on the EEV, which has always bugged me when watching the films.What I felt what was also weak, the EEV which came from an intergallactic military warship with all the weaponary,had no weapons in the survival pod????. Ok the thing which made number 3 was the lack of weapoms after the gunho aliens, but surely weaopons would be mandatory.

I've read loads of ideas about these eggs and everyone seems to forget about the alien in the first drop ship couldn't he have something to do with it?

How exactly?

It couldn't. How did the egg get on board? Queen either brought it with her, or laid it en route. That bits simple to sort out. Problem comes when you look at its location at the start of Alien3 as it clearly isn't in any area we saw in Aliens, and the only place it can be is the dropship. Considering the overall confusion in the titles regarding who gets hugged etc. I put it down to it all being Ripley's dream in hypersleep. These things are really happening but not quite in the way she's perceiving them.
