so weyland becomes a huge company

RC8, Snorks, and C-Eggo, Going back to RC8's post at the start of this page (regarding Calls Quote) is my whole premise on the company knew what was going on from start to finish and micro managed everything, no matter how CONVOLUTED ( :P ) it got. I work for GE and believe me if someone upstairs gets wind of something they get involved and get their hands dirty. So my convoluted idea still holds water :P Rick

I think you guys are getting it backwards here, it's set in the future, the corporation is Wal-Mart. LOL. I have to agree with you guys on the finding terra forming tech hence becoming a bigger company and having knowledge of the xeno before alien and searching for more tech over the years. I think it makes a lot of sense and fits well.

@Rick....don't like it..... :)

Well I heard on either Wikipedia or some wikia source that the Earth, in the Alien franchise's storyline, had become something of a plutocracy, maybe a corporatocracy altogether. There was supposedly some Cold War theme concerning a union rebellion, and I don't know if that rebellion went on to become Weyland-Yutani, or just Weyland, but it was something Sigourney Weaver mentioned in whatever source I looked at (which was weeks ago). Anyway, cutting to the quick, I think what we'll see in Prometheus may explain why Weyland is so willing to sacrifice their own employees and screw everyone over just to get the specimen they've been after for as long as we can remember. They want the specimen not just because it would make for something revolutionary for their bio-weapons division.....but because it's a godly entity.

C-eggo, You don't have to like it you just have to deal with it. Don't make me go all Ushbuck on ya with my convoluted tubercle sparky my get jealous :P Rick

Hey....hey..hey...watch it there Rick with them semi-disparaging comments there...I resemble that remark....

Oh my goodness that was a good one. You resemble that remark huh....LOL Man I hope you don't look like Ushbuck, I think he is the love child of Hannibal and the Unibomber with a sprinkle of retard. That's scarier than a xeno any day of the week.

LOL

Thank God I don't actually resemble that...person.....I think I'll call him...maybe.................anywho, thought you'd like that....
