In an effort to temper my expectations for Alien: Earth, I’m trying to remind myself of some of the weirdest/worst/oddest Alien lore decisions that were revealed in official Alien universe installments, including:

Any others? I seem to recall there being a humanoid Alien queen, but iirc she was just a nightmare vision.

    How do the cultists survive being chest burst or do they just have very short lives?

      They still die once the chestburster comes out, the device just prolongs the incubation period… and the cultists get to have a sweet, giant, see-through hole in their stomach area where all of their internal organs should be… somehow.

      I mean OK if they can make artificial persons as good as they do in the movies, I SUPPOSE I could find it believable that we developed tech to let us live without, um, our stomachs, intestines, rib cages, etc.
