Just from the poster looks a 9/10.

 

I'm hoping it's a star trek / aliens crossover.

Not cos i like star trek but just to see what ern thinks really

 

Sounds a dream move.

I want lots of scientists in it. All fcking about for no reason and getting impregnated with baby aliens. That would make it 9.5

 

Nothing to do with Ridley Scott, so that's a bonus. iirc it's an Aliens prequel, you just gotta ignore the scene in Aliens with Newt and her family.

 

Will you be able to manage that Ern?

Or should we all book a month out in our calendar?

 

A prequel of alien or a prequel of prometheus?

 

neither.

Prometheus and Alien: Covenant are set before the original Alien, serving as prequels. Following Alien, its sequels (up until Alien: Romulus, that is) all unfold in chronological order. Much like the hugely popular survival horror game Alien: Isolation, Alien: Romulus takes place between Alien and its sequel, Aliens.

So its not a prequel at all

And i thought you knew your alien **** @Big Ern

 

It's the story between Alien and Aliens, set on the same planet where they find the Alien in the original film and in Aliens where the company create the colony with the little girl and her family.

HTH

 

See Ern

Not a prequel

 

So you're saying it's an Aliens prequel, you just gotta ignore Newt's family face hugging scene?

 

Ern's having a mare.

 

Pretty sure ern was the one who said it was a prequel.


When its not

 

Im gonna guess its at the same time as newts story just a different part of the planet/colony.

Which makes in alien

Chapter 2

 

I will ignore everything.

 

If it's set between Alien and Aliens, and is on the same planet, which only had one settlement, logically it can't be anything other than a prequel.
Of course logic and reason left the building decades ago as far as the alien franchise is concerned.

 

I'd say it's an origin story.

 

I'm going to have to watch then all again now in the right order.
