In an effort to temper my expectations for Alien: Earth, I'm trying to remind myself of some of the weirdest/worst/oddest Alien lore decisions that were revealed in official Alien universe installments, including:
- Aliens share a psychic/empath connection with Ripley's offspring.
- Ripley had an entire encounter with another crew and Ash between Alien and Aliens, then had her memory wiped.
- Cultists who worshiped the xenomorphs voluntarily incubated themselves with chestbursters to walk among the xenomorphs undisturbed.
Any others? I seem to recall there being a humanoid Alien queen, but iirc she was just a nightmare vision.
by the way i guiltily admit to devouring any and all alien lore and accepting every stupid curveball they throw out there because i am a glutton for xenos. i've listened to those two audiobooks multiple times (they're so well-produced! and the cast isn't bad!) and am currently playing Aliens: Dark Descent a second time.
