11/09/00: Here's a credible explanation of the Alien's breeding habits . .

Posted By: Hairhead


1) Single egg explodes face-hugger onto unfortunate victim

2) Unfortunate victim dies when face-hugger explodes through chest.

3) Little alien, in the absence of other aliens, quickly grows to become a queen.

4) Queen lays a whole bunch of face-hugger eggs, then goes out and kidnaps and paralyzes a whole bunch of hosts, which she lays near the eggs.

5) Eggs, face-huggers, exploders, and THESE (because of the presence of the Queen) become drones/soldiers.

6) Queen specializes to egg-laying capacity only, while soldiers forage for food and more hosts.

This is a fairly common kind of life-cycle in nature, and not very complex at all.

And as for the little chest exploder growing quickly -- look, it's made of silicon to a large degree; and how much silicon is there in a spaceship? Tons! Little Alien grew fastfastfast because it was in an ideal environment.

There ya go!
