do you think that bishop was good, evil or just simply following instructions. When bishops was examining th facehugger specimens , he was told by ripley to destroy them after he had finished. he replied to this by saying that the specimens had to be returned to company labs for further analysis. ripley had no authority to ask bishop to do this, and neither does bishop have to do this. There were plenty of times when bishop wasnt involved ie when the colonial marines first came in contact with the hive, bishop wasnt there. Does anyone think that bishop had time or opportunity to at any stage to find some eggs and store them on the second dropship. I mean bishop may not be evil, but he could be just following orders

[quote]What I mean is that Weyland treats their employees badly so there`s no telling what they have in store for their partners. [/quote] So essentially this gives you license to really make up anything you want about characters and their motivation, even in the absence of anything in the film that supports it?

i thought just occurred to me. was bishop a company android or military, or was he appointed by a different ruling body. this could have a big bering on his objectives. i cant really recall anything at the moment. someone mentioned ICC, as he appointed by ICC ,does weyland have any influence on ICC

irt. [b]pulserifle187[/b]: While it is likely that Weyland-Yutani's influence extends far, in Aliens there is talk that it would be very difficult for Burke to smuggle a specimen through ICC quarantine. Which suggests that, at least officially, ICC is sufficiently independent of Weyland-Yutani to be able to cause inconveniences to the corporation, should it want to. As to the original theme- yes, very interesting indeed. "Good" vs. "compliant" is one thing I've chosen to explore in a (not so) little piece of fanfic I'm writing now. But if ya don't want some anonymous' dude's random verbiage online, there's also Burgess' "A Clockwork Orange" (later made into a film by Kubrick), which has a similar theme. As far as Aliens:Bishop, I'm with [b]Svanya[/b]. Yeah, he's compliant. But remove the inhibitors, and you wouldn't tell the difference. He's the good guy on board.
The whole point of this is lost if you keep it a secret.
