Before Alien 5 is writen.

Here's something the next screenwriter should read, before starting to
write Alien 5.
Lets start with a few lines from “Aliens”.
Ripley is in debriefing, defending her story.

“Excuse me, Did IQs just drop sharply while I was away?
Mam, I told you it was a derelict space ship. Right! It was not from
there.”

“Cain,.... the crewmen Cain said he saw thousands of eggs there.”

Does anyone remember herring these lines in the debriefing seen in
“Aliens”.
The writer of the 4th Alien movie, Joss Whedon, has ether forgotten this
or he wasn't paying attention. I know that at the end of the move
(Aliens) the teriforming station exploded and the colonist's settlement
was destroyed.
However the derelict ship was not anywhere near by. It should not have
been destroyed in the blast.
The man in charge at Ripley’s debriefing said that there had been
colonists on LB426 for years and they had never complained about any
hostile alien. One may infer that if a people had been in an area for
‘years’ that they would have seen all there is to see in the area around
their home.
They certainly would have seen that ship, it was massive. This leads me
to believe that the derelict ship was far away and should still be
intact.
I said all that to say this; If the military or the Company, (whatever)
wants some aliens, why don't they go get some.
That would make a more believable premise on which to continue the
story.
At least we could buy that a lot easier that that bogus turkey Mr.
Whedon tried to shove down our throats last installment.

GOOD STORY MAKES GOOD MOVIE, Not special effects and goop!

The man needs to take a biology class or just talk to a biology
teacher.
Quick question; A man eats bad meat and gets a tapeworm. The tapeworm
lays eggs inside the man. The man feels sick so he goes to the hospital
and has some blood work done. On his way home, he dies in an automobile
accident. Some years later, the man is cloned from the blood sample that
was taken just before he died. Will he be half man and half tapeworm? I
don't think so. My eight year old son could answer that one.
I could have bought the cloning bit to bring back Ripley. The show just
wouldn't be the same without her. It could have been said that she was
brought back to learn more about the aliens. After all, she was the
only person to survive three close encounters with them, (they did not
get her, she killed herself).
And speaking of killed; if Mr. Whedon, wants people to feel something
for his characters when they die, he has got to give us a chance to get
to know them first. There was a lot of good talent in this cast but they
didn't get a chance to show it.
Mr. Whedon should consider the people over at Paramount, that work on
the
Star Trek projects. They have people that check to see that the story
lines check out with science fact or at least theory. They know that
their Trekies will write in and complain about faulty premises.
I didn’t think the “Alien 3” was so great but at least it did not
insult my intelligence.
I don’t know if Joss Whedon will ever see this or if he will have
anything to do with the next movie but please man, leave the DNA thing
alone.

Yeah, this has ben mooted before....

Except Ripley never heard Kane say any such thing !

;' )

And it has also been pretty much mathematically proved by someone in here
that the derelict was waaaayyy too far away from the explosion.
