The classic horror/sci fi movie Alien was on tonight and it got me thinking (always a bad sign).  Now I’ve seen the movie quite a few times and even read the novelisation at least once and a few things just came to me about the movie’s plot.

Spoiler Warning!  If you haven’t seen the movie and still want to… what is taking you so long!

• We know that “The Company” (later movies revealed was Weyland-Yutani Corporation) sent the Nostromo to LV-426 specifically to retrieve an Alien (though the crew was unaware of this until near the end of the movie) and the android Ash was put on the ship to assure that the cargo was delivered. Now, if you were the person rounding up the crew for the voyage, wouldn’t you be careful of how you picked?  The last person I would have picked would have been a strong person like Ripley. I mean she manage to figure out that the transmission was warning.
• Was Ripley put on that ship by some fifth column in the company that knew the risks of the alien, not that Ripley would have known?
• Wouldn’t it had been better to send a trained team covertly to retrieve the xenomorph? Smuggling the alien would have been simple for a company like W-Y with all the connections it has.
• Concerning the giant spaceship, it was assumed that the alien queen has infested the ship without the alien crew knowing.  Could the giant aliens have actually been transporting the alien queen to a planet for Predators to hunt (it has been established that both Aliens and Predators are in the same fictional universe)?
• It has been suggested in the comics that the Predators have been actively exterminating the Alien species, is that why no one could find any more nest outside LV-426 as mentioned in Aliens and Alien: Resurrection?

Yes, I geek too much about movies.

Thank God, I made it home alive tonight.  As you are probably not aware, there is a dense fog alert over most of my state this evening (and will be until last tomorrow morning).  This fog bank settled in Sunday night and stayed around all day today.  It was thick enough that the buildings across the lane from my building were invisible.  It reminded me of a Scooby Doo episode that the fog was as thick as pea soup and Scooby used a knife to cut a piece out.

Top it all off, there were people driving WITH NO LIGHTS!

I was disappointed that there were no fog monsters in the mist.

Thank God this day is almost over, it has been a stressful and busy one.  With all the doctor visits, work, and filling out forms, I am exhausted.

It seems the cold weather has taken a break for the next few days as we will locally be getting lows in the 40’s this weekend with high’s in the upper 50’s and 60’s. Unfortunately, it is going to rain all weekend.

My wife is doing better.  She still can’t get around very well, but she doesn’t have a broken foot but a torn muscle.  The problem is that she is terrible with crutches so I have to wheel her around everywhere.

Warning!  Battlestar Galactica spoilers ahead from the episodes of the past two weeks if you haven’t seen them.

Does it seem to anyone else that Battlestar Galactica is just spinning its tires.  There was so much more that could be done with the blasted Earth scenario and Starbuck’s situation that could have been at least hinted at this week, but the episode dwelled on a rising rebellion.  It just seems that everyone has given up and is taking everything at face value.  Why are there “supposedly” two Starbucks?  How did Starbuck get back if her ship was destroyed and her body in the burnt husk?  Why was “Earth” populated by organic Cylons and a model of Centurions that are different from any known model?  How did the organic Cylons get to the part of space with the Twelve Colonies?  Why were there organic Cylons 2,000 years after the Cylons were invented in the Colonies?  There is not a whole lot of episodes left to answer these questions.

It seems that the swearing in wasn’t quite up to snuff yesterday as Obama had to be sworn in again today.  Yeah, I noticed that the justice had flubbed the oath and got Obama a bit flustered when he tried to say the oath correctly.

To those how are concerned, yes, my wife is doing better.  She is still in pan, but not near as much as yesterday.  I did the noble thing and stay with her again today (after taking the kids to school and quelling a minor rebellion at work).  Thank you for the concerned emails and well-wishing.
