All the bickering over the Alien franchise has got me wishing for simpler times, when it was all new and no one — not even Ridley Scott — professed to know exactly what really was the derelict, or its ossified pilot, for that matter.

Yet:
“There will be another one before we kind of literally and logically, clockwise, back into the original Alien,” [Ridley Scott] said.
With a wistful wishfulness, I hope we get — in the end — something to enjoy for as long as we’ve been enjoying ALIEN.
