Alien 6 for Hulu

Spoiler:

Though wait... they somehow distill the remains of the Alien drone from Alien into the black goo (#1, how?), but how do they use that to create another Alien drone?

Unless the idea is that it is easy to create Aliens as we know them from the black goo. Which would simultaneously cement that David wasn't the first one to do so.

Spoiler:

They don't really explain how they extracted the goo. As for the second question, I don't really know that either. They are however keeping facehuggers on ice, so cloning maybe? I also think the movie is operating on the logic from the alternate cut of Alien 1, where the queen isn't really necessary and the Aliens can just sort of "craft" the eggs.

Spoiler:

Do they SAY the Alien Drone from Alien that was recovered was still alive, or just a husk? If it was still alive then maybe the goo didn't create anything and yeah, the Drone just finished what it was starting in the Alien deleted scene.

Spoiler:

This is where I'm not quite sure. I think the Ash android says something along the lines of how it's the perfect life-form and could not be destroyed so easily, but I don't think they 100% confirm that thing was still actually alive and there are way too many Aliens running around to determine if any of them is that one. When they obtained it, it was encased in a meteor like structure and then opened up, it looked pretty damn static to me.

My gut says that it's dead when they find it but the body is still basically intact. But it could just as easily have been alive, I need to rewatch it to tell for sure.

Spoiler:

How the hell would that have happened? It got blown off the back of the Narcissus and away from it by the thrusters. Pretty low odds it'd somehow end up in a... meteor? Or anything like that?

Though that also begs a question. If WY was able to extrapolate the trajectory of the Alien drone being pushed away infinitely from the back of the Narcissus... why were they not able to extrapolate the forward course of the Narcissus?

Spoiler:

It's not really explained either, though we do get a new stage in the life cycle in this movie, the chestburster is shown to create a cocoon in order to mature into an adult. Maybe it's related to that?

I am going to see it this weekend. Haven't decided on Friday or Sunday yet. Avoiding all spoilers for now.

The popcorn buckets and cups they rolled out to theaters for this are wild though.
