Quite so. I had the book on the making of the original movie including a stela in the large dead alien's ship that showed the life-cycle of the nasty aliens and there were no queens. Each and every alien could reproduce itself asexually by planting an egg in a victim and wrapping them up in a cacoon like a living larder that would eventually turn into one of those pod things. In all, a much more terrifying concept since they don't need a queen to reproduce and take over a planet. But, then they had to go and make a bunch of space westerns out of it, and you know they gotta have a big guy in a black hat for a western. /_-)
