mmh' date=' i didn't notice that much, how did they change? though i liked the introduction of the alien queen, as it was in the comic book series, which was inevitable really. but i still think Aliens could have been the end of the series. what could have happened to the alien queen was a bit questionable - it could have possibly survived - but then Alien 3 is introduced as an alien egg having been onboard the vessel and infecting ripley while she was in hypersleep. as far as it was made obvious, there was no alien egg when ripley and newt and the wounded commander guy got onboard. and by how Alien 3 starts off, or rather how some of ripleys flashback scenes suggest, the on-board computer should/would have picked up an alien presence on board the ship, right? so after a patchy start, the reason for another alien presence onboard the ship was not the most likely cause of the alien queen drifting in space (as far as it was made obvious, aliens don't need oxygen) at the end of Aliens, but simply an alien egg that just appeared out of nowhere. in that respect, the storyline of Alien 3 seems utterly irrational. how come? touché!
