Alien on my mind...

Did the person who sent them out know what they were and the danger they presented? Whoever was getting the eggs knew they were getting SOMETHING right? Were they planning on researching them or did the receiving party know what they were getting and had plans to use them in some nefarious manner? They should have used FedEx.

the eggs just came from a place of origion that doesnt matter ...

the movie suggests that the aliens require the assistance of another species to move and reproduce.
lots of these relationships right here on earth.

humans, being opportunistic assholes when it comes to dealing with science - constantly think they can tame dangerous things and use them to suit their needs (a la splitting the atom)
This was the theme in Aliens (the sequel)

I would really like to see something about the origin or how the eggs were collected. Obviously the aliens, who do require assistance to live, couldn't ship their own eggs out... they just don't work that way.

You're not suggesting Alien: The Beginning are you?

:eek:

All four movies so far have been excellent in their own right, but the wheels are bound to fall off if there is another instalment.

Interesting query about the huge being in the crashed spaceship, which is tantalisingly only glimpsed at by Scott's camera and adds a layer of mystery to the whole Alien phenomenon.

it was the 1st image i ever saw of the film ..
i saw something in an article - maybe omni magazine ?
it featured in some artwork that was released before the film came out (or at the same time)

Not at all, I just like thinking about how it started and about the whole procedure that had to go into collecting the eggs. You don't think the Aliens let people harvest the eggs knowing they would transport them right? So the collectors probably had a rough go at gathering them. If they DID do another movie I'd rather see it progress the story, I do think films are capable of continuing without getting bad; I just think too many movie fans are intollerant to sequels. Anyway, no prequels wanted on this end.

so this is really another 'what came first - the alien or the egg' question to ponder ? :D
