I think I'm gonna re-watch Alien 4k again, my favorite Weyland-Yutani* crew.

--
* Weyland and Yutani merge in between Prometheus and Covenant:
- Prometheus was built by Weyland. (so was David).
- Covenant is a Weyland-Yutani vehicle (Walter is therefore also from Weyland-Yutani)
- Nostromo and the Cygnus Tesotek 2100-B refinery are Weyland-Yutani vehicles (Ash was a Hyperdyne Systems 120-A/2 built for but not by Weyland Yutani )
- Bishop was also built by W-Y, but the Sulaco is a USM ship. -

I love how the film led everyone on back then. First they're led to think it's about Kane, he's the main character. Then 'oops!'. So then they go 'Ah, Dallas is the hero!' And no one saw it coming that it was going to be Ripley.

I also chuckle every time at how Brett and Parker are bantering about 'how come nobody ever comes down here', and then when Ripley says she's coming down they are indignant at the idea of someone coming down there.

One anachronism about the synthetics that's been introduced by the other films is that they are common practice. But in Aliens Ripley is freaked out by Bishop as though it's a surprise. Bishop does address this, in a way, and this is of course before the other films were made.
Not saying Ash wasn't a surprise, why put a synthetic on what is essentially a dull ass cargo mission, But she shouldn't have been freaked out to see Bishop on a USM ship. There probably should have been more than one.

@tankgrrl I didn’t think it was so much a surprise in Aliens, but freaked out because of her prior experience with them.

@octothorpe She was like "you never said anything about an android being on board!"

@tankgrrl ‘that’s because we knew you’d freak out because we read your file’
