Could an alien gestate inside an android?

I know what your saying about the android supposedly having supirior strength can, in effect, just rip it off his/her own face. Depends upon how much strength the 'said android' has been programmed to excert within its daily 'function' (pounds per square inch and that sort of thing) It may not want to risk the acid spilling out and corroding its own face and motor-nural body parts. If the head/brain capacity area is damaged then the androids memory circuits are rendered possibly inaffective and to it if considerable damage was inflicted then this could result in its malfunction/deactivation. In other words: 'near death' if not 'death' in human terms.

well if spaights got laid the night before then emphatically YES but if he had a shitty round of eggs for breakfast then its probably a NO NO NO... ABSOLUTElY FCKING NO WAY NO THATS RIDICULOUS AND I HATE MYSELF FOR EVEN THINKING IT

No. David does not have a DNA "code" for the alien to use. I agree with allinamberclad. In that case a face hugger would try and attach itself to a laptop or a vehicle.

Kane in alien was eating food ravenously, to the point that his fellow crewmembers were tripping, after his encounter and the facehugger implanted it's offspring in him. I think that implies that the parasite was taking nourishment, etc from the host. I don't see how that can be interpreted any other way. So IMHO these are BIOlogical beings that would attack a clone,or possibly a synthetic in the bladerunner sense, but not an artificial person. Wheres the BEEF!!!

@karstenphd i dont remember where, but i heard the alien embryo's grow faster due to faster metabolisms. that is why the dog burster popped out so damn fast in alien3 and a theory on why the queen alien wanted newt so bad near the end of aliens... a childs metabolism is much faster then an adult human and the queen lost her hive after she stowed away on the escape ship. so someone/something with a faster metabolism to make babies quicker would be in her best interest since she just lost everything. but anyway im rambling... my point was someone/something with a faster metabolism would eat a lot of food already. i assume that is why kane was so ravenous, the embryo was indeed taking nutrients as well as DNA from the host and it subliminally demanded more food faster. OR.... the fact that the nasty face hugger had kane TKO'ed and after being knocked out for so long anyone would be quite thirsty and hungry. i know when i go on a booze binge and wake up many hours later i am pretty thirsty and hungry myself.

As i have said before, yes maybe if David 8 is merged with the special stuff the Engineers have (Fire) then he could become Bio Mechanical. By that i mean he would be part Biological... As it stands he is Synethic...... So i am going to say just a Rubber Dildo with Balls cant get testicular cancer, nor can David 8 be used as a host for a Xeno.

No. No way in hell. David 8 is a machine. And so in a terminator. Could an an Alien gestate inside a terminator.? No.

Yes but there are softer liquid, 'mushy' parts within the likes of something like Ash, Bishop, David, Annalee Caas/Cass or even the androids from Blade Runner, but The Terminator/s are obviously solid metal components and moving parts. I know the T-1000 is 'liquid' in a sense but its a different set of bionic 'variables' I am 'presenting' here as compared to the Terminators. The idea and conceptual 'vision' behind androids such as the afore-mentioned (Ash/Bishop/David/Annalee Caas/Cass/Blade Runner androids) their 'constructs' are meant to almost mimic what I would call 'near-biology'. As close as you could get to it with out quite getting ther... yet! Terminators are a 'force mesure' to attack and conquer as their pre-programmed mandate, androgynous 'beings' are supposed to be as close as us as possible. Its a thought to at least consider .

I always thought it was interesting that Ash referred to the Alien as "Kane's son" I also thought it might be a parallel that Weyland refers to David 8 as his "son" What if Giger's Alien was the end result of Weyland's unintended consequences for "playing god" and creating a new species (the Android)

again, and I cannot believe this same thread with this same topic has been posted yet again, but there is NO WAY, the "Host" has to be of organic composition.

[quote]I always thought it was interesting that Ash referred to the Alien as "Kane's son" [/quote] someone please remind me in WHICH FILM THIS WAS IN...cause as far as I know this is only the case in the Allan Dean Foster books, which although are fantastic reading, amount to NOTHING and count as NOTHING in the scheme and timeline of Alien, because it just never happened in that film or any of the other films.

I know Spartacus! I think people get distracted onto other threads, forget and as i the cyclical nature of things it comes back to bite us all in the ass! lol! Still a good chit-chat about though...

AGREED, JUST CANNOT STAND THE INACURACY OF IT ALL

@Spartacus Lol: Ash says it in, "Alien"...

If I recall, it is when they are all debating how to corner and kill the creature. Ripley is subtly mocking Ash and evrything he suggests as a 'possible Plan' he is talking about "micro-variables in molecular air density..." if I remeber correctly!

in the SPECIAL EDITION?... which also does not count if I am correct here.

and BTW it is science fiction after all. Anything can happen. Let your mind run wild

David must have human tissue or something and maybe they impregnate him somehow and gives birth to the big chap. Hence its mechanical and biological attributes. I mean look at its teeth, is methalic
