In Reply to: Alien Covenant on video: another downer from Ridley Scott posted by user510 on August 19, 2017 at 10:36:39:
The Sigouney series, which supposedly follows in time, has us chasing down these pets, trying to do all kinds of clandestine experiments with them. "Alien Resurrection" was set 200 years after her death by one of the creepies in "Aliens 3".
The latter day pets were genetically engineered/manufactured by David, the pissed off android, based on original stocks made by the blue magoos. We have his motives laid out for us, but the "engineers" motives were left undefined with room for speculation.
The engineers failed at our extermination, and by inference from the Aliens sequels, so did David.
We continue with no reference to whether our survival is a good or bad thing. Looks ugly in all directions. All hail the master race.
