The sound of a plane overhead is that of Phatose missing the point.

Science fiction doesn't mean you can throw science out of the window. Just like historical fiction doesn't mean you can make Napoleon win Waterloo by nuking it with Tzar dropped from Enola Gay.

That's just not an example, that's an X-TREEM example. Cue energy drink commercial.
It's also missing the point.
The point is, just because it's sci-fi doesn't mean it has to have 100% accurate science. A little wiggle room can work wonders. For that matter, I don't see why the quadruped alien is so scientifically incorrect anyway. First of all DNA was never mentioned in the movie so I don't know wtf Phatose is talking about. Second of all the thing's a fucking alien. Hell, it's not even that, it's a biomechanical construct. It's a weapon created by an alien species. (Look up some of the stuff on the Space Jockeys sometime, you'll see they at one point planned to have something about how the Space Jockeys created the Xenomorphs as a weapon.) Who's to say it's going to play by the same genetic rules life on Earth does?

I just took your advice. I was amazed by the derelict ship being referred to as a 'bomber', w/Alien eggs as it's payload. :eek:

Eh, fuck it. You can have your opinion, I'll have mine. If you're gonna accept EU profiteering as part of the series, there ain't no point in further discussion.

Huh??

Er, the Space Jockeys are canon as far as I know; Ridley Scott originally came up with them, didn't he?
