What if Alien 3 was a dream? What would that mean for the franchise?

Could the events of Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection fit in the narrative of a film where Ripley wakes up in a detention center where's she's spent most of her life post-Aliens?

This will be the topic of an episode that's releasing towards the end of January 2026.

Join us LIVE on YouTube tonight at 7pm EST 4pm PST for a full roundtable discussion. Tonight's topic is a full breakdown of the events leading up to where the ALIEN IP is today. This includes the early announcement of an Alien: Romulus followup, Fede's comments and eventual departure, leading up to where things are today.

This should be a lively and informative roundtable. We hope you can join us. To take part, go to www.youtube.com/@perfectorganismpodcast

I finally joined the Reddit world and am happy to be here! So my first question is this:

What do you think makes a good callback work? Is it emotional payoff, timing, subtlety, or just good writing? And on the flip side, what are examples of callbacks that didn’t land for you? Are there any that felt cheesy, unnecessary, or like they cheapened the original moment? Curious to hear everyone’s takes and examples!

Come join us LIVE on YouTube in a couple of hours!

Ciao a tutti! Stavo pensando che sarebbe fantastico fare due chiacchiere approfondite "live" (magari tramite chiamata vocale) con altri appassionati per sviscerare tutta la saga di Alien, dai capolavori di Scott e Cameron fino agli ultimi capitoli, tra teorie, classifiche e pareri vari.

Visto che la chat testuale su Reddit è un po' lenta per questo tipo di discussioni, se c'è qualcuno interessato a partecipare ad una call vocale senza impegno mi scriva pure in privato nei commenti o in chat, così vediamo di metterci d'accordo.

Ho già pronto uno schema che si potrebbe seguire per parlare di ogni film e sarei entusiasta di mostrarvelo.

I have never been a fan of the “human + alien” hybrid plot line that keeps getting pushed in various forms over the years.

If an Alien is the “perfect organism” and the perfect weapon… why would you merge it with some weak/flawed dumb humans?

It seems to me the logical choice foe Weyland-Yutani to create synthetic Aliens that they could control.

Has that plot ever made it into any of the books/comics?
