Here's what James Cameron can do....
He can start Alien 5 from the point after ALIENS....Sigourney Weaver wakes up from her sleeping pod and says, "I had this weird nightmare where I ended up in a prison planet, had an alien inside me, and ended up dying. Then I was cloned and resurrected..."
Bishop then tells Ripley that, "Don't worry, it was just a dream."
Ripley says, "Oh...."
Thereby restarting the franchise from where it crashed and burned!
I really hope that Cameron can fix the Alien franchise because I love the series!!!!! |
well the "dream escape" method could be applied! I'll try and finish my story from before. If you don’t want to read this long post, go straight to the bottom of it and see my suggestion.
Part 2
We now see a smaller ship approaching the 2 ships we have already been introduced to.
A text informs us that it's
5 DAYS AFTER INITIAL CONTACT
Inside the docking hangar soldiers are walking about doing repairs and some are still working on a big "patch" they have made to seal the hole. Pressure is restored.
The floor gate opens and a lift is slowly bringing 4 men into view. The camera moves closer from behind and then circles the 4 men. We are now introduced to Lt. Colonel William Schreiber aka Arnold Schwarzenegger. He's chewing a big cigar and looks mean as shit. The other men besides him consist of one marine and 2 civilian looking guys.
As they appear a sergeant snappily yells
"Attention on deck"
and after 5 seconds all the soldiers have lined up.
Colonel Schreiber approaches the sergeant. and without any hesitation asks:
Schreiber: "Are they awake"
they start to walk
Sergeant: “Only one so far Sir. We figured it would be safest to..”
Schreiber cuts him off
Schreiber: „Who’s awake?“
Sergeant: “Lt. Ellen Ripley sir.”
Schreiber: “How’s she doing?”
Sergeant: “She hasn’t spoken much and we didn’t want to begin the questioning before you arrived Sir. “
Schreiber: “Good!”
Sergeant: “She did ask about the others though,”
Schreiber: “Cpl Hicks and Miss Jordan?”
Sergeant: “Yes Sir”
Schreiber: “And how are they?”
Sergeant, “They are in a stable condition, healthy, all things considered…”
Schreiber: “And the ship’s condition?”
Sergeant: “Lots of superficial hull damage and a few deep wounds but nothing critical! We’ll have the ship fully operational in less than 72 hours and we’ll ignite as soon as we receive the spare fuel from “The Predator”!”
Schreiber: “Good, Anything else?”
Sergeant: “No Sir, not really… But…”
Schreiber: “But what?”
Sergeant: “The pods Sir. There were 24! Where’s the rest of the crew?”
Schreiber looks back at the two men in civillian clothes who have been following them all along. He then looks back at the sergeant.
Schreiber: “That’s what I’m going to find out!”
They get to a door with two soldiers guarding it.
Schreiber: “Thank you sergeant, that would be all!”
Schreiber looks at the two civilian clad men and says:
“ok. Let’s do this”
They enter af room with a large window that is obviously tinted on the other side. On the other side of the glass we see Ripley for the first time in full stature. She’s standing, leaning on the frame of af high and narrow observation window looking out on the beautiful view of a nearby planet. In one of her hands she clutches a small rectangular mirror, probably military issue.
Arnold walks close to the big window and just stand there looking at her while the to civilian’s slowly start to talk. It turns out one is a scientist and the other a company man!
Company man: “I still don’t get it! We lost the pod signals 18 years ago”
Scientist: “Well we didn’t exactly loose them, they…”
Company Man: “I know, they turned flat, but that still means she shouldn’t be here, now, there in that room.
The company man walks and stands next to Schreiber, who’s still just looking, investigative at Ripley while chewing his cigar.
Company Man: “She should have turned to dust by now.”
Scientist: “The backup system kept them alive. Providing nutrition and fluids. I have no idea why the backup system didn’t transmit, it must have been destroyed by one of the impacts. Perhaps when crossing the belts, who knows.”
Company man: “But a nutritional backup system can only support you for 4-5 years, she’s been floating out here for… 18 years!”
Scientist: “This ship was made almost 30 years ago, before the hypernation chambers were fully efficient. Back in those days the backup systems had to be able to support the body for 20 years. Company rules, and they saved Lt. Ripley!”
PHEEEW I can’t handle anymore right now but the idea is that when Arnold talks to Ripley she says she’s infected. That she was attacked while sleeping. She’s sure of this. Arnold and the scientist inform her that there is no “infection” or egg in her and that it was all a dream. A very lifelike dream that often occurs when you go into hypernation after being subjected to extreem stress. Or when you subsequently wake up after long periods of hypernation. They remind her (from the files they have) that the same thing happened to her after the first time she was saved (in Aliens when she has a nightmare) and that it is likely to happen again.
And Cameron has just taken a big dump on Fincher!
But I really hope they fix it somehow.
