I hope it contains information about the SJ and the alien's life cycle!

@HiveMinded

some interesting thoughts and kudos do a essay that tops even mine lol.

But i dont really like the idea of the universe being mainly clones, as if they went that route then when does it end? I  mean we could see Peter Weyland Clones, Ripley Clones all over the place.

I do think Clones can play a part, and maybe have it that Weyland did as you said make some clones with implanted memories and so he created a Clone Vickers who would be left on Earth not known to real Vickers and this clone Vickers could carry on Weylands Agenda, as opposed to Vickers.

As far as Ripley 8 well i have many problems with Alien Resurection as far as the whole concept on that.... mainly how do u clone someone from DNA and have them pregnant? Well worse still carry a Hybrid etc.

Nope as far as cloning goes i would assume that you clone a pregnant female and you can create the female but she would not be pregant... the whole carry Xeno DNA i guess i could understand.

Lol it's easy to get carried away with this movie. I have a feeling the clone thing is one avenue that could be explored, but would mainly just be a part of things, like you said. Another faction/class in a Universe that's growing a lot bigger. The bigger ideas in the story would be about more than flesh and blood. It would really be all about consciousness transfer. And what Weyland calls the soul...When Spaights signed on, the plan was already for two Alien prequels. Spaights wrote a script called Passengers. I believe many of the ideas from Spaight's Passengers script are the basis for parts of the end of the series.  I think Spaights did leave Ridley a plan, and Lindelof stretched the plan out and made things more ambiguous/complicated.

The idea is that each clone would have less and less memories from the real person (we see Ripley 8 lose all her memories, she only has knowledge of Newt through nightmares).  Each clone would lose a bit of their minds/their true consciousenes, what Weyland calls a soul...David tries to make their subconscious mind view the memories, to trick them into thinking they are real people. It's my belief that Weyland never hired anyone except Janek and Holloway, who had been on tours with them before. They then cloned everyone after taking their psych profiles and storing their consciousness.

Weyland's been repressing/activating memories, etc through their dreams while in cryo this whole time. The company are bigger monsters than we know, and watched Ripley's nightmares. Only got interested once they lost the feed to the colony and knew for sure the monsters were free, believed Ripley, but had to use reverse psychology to make her go back by playing with and replaying the nightmares in her head, even before she made it to gateway station.

When Shaw was making the phone calls to Weyland, this would be when Yutani intercepted the signals, and swayed real Shaw to their side. A rivalry would exist between the companies and the Shaws...

Pilots and Marines would be real people until they die.  Their real consciousnes needs to be there, instinct is needed for them to be in touch with quick reaction skills and survival skills. If cloned, the mind will lose touch with its original body, and the new body will not be trained properly to respond to things. Fight responses have to be activated more often than flight responses, and the marines and pilots have to be in touch with their bodies, so they're never cloned until they die. Shaw would have been cloned before dying...

The stuff about alien resurection would mainly be thematic links, whereas the Marines are secretly welcomed to Immortality. Some Pilots like Janek have worked with the military enough to know that time is relative. Most Pilot's minds are tricked into believing that time is linear. The androids would know this secret already.

People might cross paths after finding out they actually skipped across space-time to access gateways within matter that allow for subspace travel through subatomic connections between all matter, memories (points in space-time), the subconsciousness, collective conscious, and can even form links through clone bodies.  All matter is connected at subatomic levels, and two images once linked can be used to create a Gateway...People sometimes experience what's called pre-cognitive dreams, or slight visions of the future, these are other timelines in the multiverse...Gateway Station is not exactly what Ripley thinks, most of what went on within the station was a hologram and a dream. Weyland corp gave her medical attention, projected images of home holographically while she was awake, all to comfort her... And then Burke sealed the deal with his salesman act, They tricked her conscious mind into going back and made her feel safe with the marines.  Gateway's main function is to psychologically program the Gateways into Ripley's subconscious and make her link images and concepts, locations and coordinates in space-time.

The location of LV426 was in Ripley's mind, so the ship could travel faster than light and reach LV-426 very quickly to deal with what happened to the colony after they lost connections to it...Ripley's mind was the pilot. The Marines and her get to LV426 only a short while after losing contact with someone at the colony. They always did get there pretty quickly in Aliens...How much space is between Gateway and LV-426?

Weyland tricks their minds, harnesses unused parts of the crews' minds and the power of the subconscious to enter different levels of multilinear supspace -- allowing the ships to make jumps through space-time..The crew sleeps through the trip, and often don't need to have memories of the time/space skips repressed, they're usually dropped back into the correct timeline(s), usually. Ravel and Chance have a contract that allows them to see eachother on the other side without being cloned...Only certain Weyland employees get this benefit Ravel and Chance have proved their worth on several runs.   When they die, they are shuffled to another timeline instantly, moving to the "other side".  But in the new universe you will quite often be followed by death. Weyland was superstitious and has crossed timelines already without our knowledge, he doesn't do it anymore because he thinks it brings in probabilites where the multiverse will try to fix things and kill you on its own, Chance takes his chances and has incredible luck. Ravel can't escape death.
