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:
- Aliens share a psychic/empath connection with Ripley’s offspring.
- Ripley had an entire encounter with another crew and Ash between Alien and Aliens, then had her memory wiped.
- Cultists who worshiped the xenomorphs voluntarily incubated themselves with chestbursters to walk among the xenomorphs undisturbed.
Any others? I seem to recall there being a humanoid Alien queen, but iirc she was just a nightmare vision.
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.
