What Happened to Newt's Parents Inside the Derelict? - Explained

[@jamesoblivion]

[@chrisredfield6274]

Imagine if Chris Tucker was in an Alien movie. He would nope the fuck out of there as soon as the eggg moved.

[@patriciafarmer2991]

That's precisely because no one except Ellen Ripley has encountered the eggs before. Therefore they have no idea whether it's a good thing or bad thing.

Cane ventured into a different cargo hold of the ship for sure. Remember they used their cables to lower Cane into it. He explained there was an entire room full of the eggs. So, the Jordans found a small cache of them just beyond the space jockey. So it stands to reason that the Jordans entered through a different hole in the side of the ship. Unfortunately, meeting the same fate.

Can't agree. Despite Prometheus and Covenant being really bad (mostly) movies, they add a lot to the lore. Sadly, the most important is either within directors cut or original script.

*THANK YOU* for breeding new life into Aliens for me. This was beautifully read with a great selection of imagery from the Alien universe and I really got an immersive sense of what happened. The fact that they found so much more than Dallas and his crew does seem a little unlikely but could be because they were more inquisitive and greedy for getting rich, but I'm happy that this ties in with the new Alien films with the bio-engineers and makes it all come together nicely.

[@Comintern1919]

I know your comment is at least 2 years old, I still feel the need to answer you ;) . They find out much more because the Nostromos was not a Science Ship and thus not equiped at all for studying Alien life and Ash was the only "Scientist". Meanwhile, Hadley's Hope was specifically built (in secret) by the Company to study whatever Alien Life in on the Moon, was thus equiped to handle it and had very capable (and of course extremely ruthless) COmpany Scientists ready and just waiting for the eventual Alien find. Also, Aliens is set somewhat 50 years after the first Movie and thus at least somewhat more technological advanced. It's also implied that by that point Humanity already did make contact with Alien Species, though it is never made clear with what Species and whether these were intelligent and not. Thus the Scientists had some form of theoretical Experience dealing with Alien Life.

[@cascadianrangers728]

For all we know the ship is opaque to radar...youre right, nobody spends so much money and time on a fusion powered atmospheric processor just to set it up blind, and I don't think they would just plop it down randomly, it would be built on specially selected and prepared land; they would fer sure AT LEAST radar map AT LEAST whatever side of the planet it's on, but if radar mapping didn't find anything, why keep looking? Maybe they have a computer doing the mapping and geographic surveys, and the human or computer looking just doesn't recognize the ship as a ship, and thinks, hmm , more probable it's just a funky rock formation, there's no way it's a space ship, and mark and label it as such

That single image of the giant chamber full of eggs, and how it looks like it goes on for hundreds of feet, if not miles of tunnels. That has always stuck in my head.

And I do think that’s what happens to the 2 or 20,000 colonists from the Covenant.

[@PuLSeLV426]

Never thought about a queen in the derelict on LV426, but it fits. Prometheus gave us a good look at the immense size of these ships and their separated chambers. Loved the mix of what appear to be video game clips with other vid and pics, the whole presentation is superb. Haven't read that book, makes me wonder how a queen and hive can die out like that... I haven't spent any time online looking at Alien stuff like this since the 90's when the Alien Ring connecting multiple Alien related websites, was a thing. We were happy to get some pics and maybe download some short video and audio clips on a 14.4 modem (I still have them all). Times have changed. Brilliant! I think your channel is larger then the Alien Ring, this might take me a while...

[@weldonwin]

There's a problem here. There were not eggs in the Space Jockey's chamber. The eggs were contained in a seperate chamber, far below the Space Jockey's chamber, which the Nostromo crew had to use a winch to access and there was never any sign of hive structures in the SJ Chamber either. The rest of this is fine up till that point, since the Nostromo crew entered the Boneship at a different point and could easily have passed through sections that bypassed the stuff the Jordans encountered, but as a cinaphile and anal-retentive continuity fan, this part rustles my jimmies something terrible.

[@kennythecomiccollector]

This is great stuff! I highly recommend the audiobook of this one. Colin Salmon is Captain Brackett, plus a lot of other great actors and actresses! It’s very entertaining! 👍🏾😀

[@luthermcgee432]

The queen ( in my opinion) is what busted out of the space jockey's chest, burned a hole into the floor of the ship, cleared out the vast subterranean chamber, then later laid her eggs, being in Ripley's own words, " an egg layer." But there's several loose ends: the face hugger that attached itself to the space jockey was huge, the face hugger in ALIEN was much smaller but just as deadly. The missing link in this case is, how did the parisite go from being so huge to being as small as the final specimen: having also human fingers,and outside signs of both male and female genitalia ( pardon the adult connotations) it would have needed to have had extensive genetic manipulation which raises an even more disturbing question: how do you manipulate something as strong as alien DNA? It's biomechanical in nature, with " consentrated acid for blood." Did David do it all by himself, or did the engineers " program" it into their DNA for future alien generations to come?

[@occam7382]

I personally think that the eggs were already there. They were the cargo that the spaceship was carrying, to where or why, one can only guess, but it's pretty clear that one of the crew got infected with a facehugger, and an infestation began, leading to the ship crashing on LV-426.

[@vitusyu658]

The eggs got smaller as time went by. Lack of nutrients while waiting for prey ?

[@vitusyu658]

​@@occam7382I meant the face huggers.

[@straingedays]

Thanks, this scene in the extended movie always left questions. You answered all but one and raised another question. .. .. Q1. How did Russ get back to the vehicle - Did Anne drag him back ?? .. .. Q2. IF Anne was within the chamber with Russ : Why didn't multiple eggs open in their presence ?? (As eggs do in Alien Resurrection's "ambush" scene)

[@kennythecomiccollector]

If you like to listen to audio books, I highly recommend "Alien: River of Pain: An Audible Original Drama". I think it's the perfect sequel to Alien and sets up Aliens perfectly. I think the cast does a phenomenal job of telling the story. It even answers your first question in it.

[@jamesmcfarland2378]

This was amazing. thanks so much for explaining what had happened to them. I loved it. I would love to hear more.

[@Geralt21]

Awesome video, as always. The visuals match the narrative perfectly. Great work. Thank you :)

Great video! Great listening and great addition to the lore that I otherwise would not have known. Keep up the work!

[@Duckylitner]

What happened to newts bro I was always curious

[@AlienTheory]

He shot an alien and got burned to death by the acid :/

[@LorenHelgeson]

Alien Theory talks about it in a video titled Hadley’s Hope’s Last Stand. Worth a watch.

[@ArcanePath360]

Is that true? How do you know that?

[@geralddiete-spiffjr.4900]

Newt's brother's death is described in the book.

[@scrimshaw7470]

"He's dead, alright! Can I go now?"

[@brianevans6423]

This is my favorite video i think.. this is an amazing narration. Thank you!!

[@Biostasis5x7]

This video is better than all of Ridley Scott's new movies.

[@Intellect_123]

no... no its not.... its very well read agreed.. but this is no Alien or Aliens.... ijs

[@Michael-m2b3k]

I seen this many times over and I still get the major creeps out of it !!! I would like to thank you for your portraying just what could of happened when newt's parents gone in that derelict space craft, just the findings alone would have had me racing for that cracked opening in the side of that ship !!! When they came upon the queen and the engineer had me frozen in place !!! What a great short look at what the parents found, and of course the sad part of the husband getting face hugged by that alien. Thanks again.

[@GC0077]

The minute I saw the first dead xenomorph, I would've calmly stated, "screw this...I'm going back to the car.

Brilliantly voiced and explained, I look forward to your videos.

[@user-MidwayDisc]

Hey, Alien Theory can you do a video on Damon Eddington the crazy guy who planed to use xenomorph sounds as music in the Alien comic/book Aliens : Music of the Spears.

[@AlienTheory]

I would love to

[@user-MidwayDisc]

Alien Theory Thanks man your channel rules.

[@Michael-m2b3k]

I thought that this was very good and helped me in following just how everything happened . I enjoyed how the derelict was explained, I still get shivers down my back seeing just what happened to newt's parents . very well done .

[@wizzydoesdallas3408]

It always bugged me that we are supposed to believe that the wife dragged a lifeless husband out of the ship and back to the crawler. Maybe that's why it was cut from the original release.

[@ronjon7942]

Yeah, true.

[@reignmack]

Everything that happened on the colony prior to the marines arriving was cut out to build up the suspense more, they wanted the aftermath to be more of a mystery for audience, we were still at the point where the company was gaslighting ripley and didn’t know the level of the outbreak. We didnt know how untrustworthy and dangerous Burke was until it was revealed he sent the signal to investigate and that step further locking them in the lab with face huggers loose

[@dbabbitt25]

Bro your videos are so badass, I hope you keep your channel and videos comin!

[@RapideWombaticus]

The Original cut of 'Aliens' I saw had these scenes (and others) removed I suppose to fasten the pace for the Cinema.? Damn I love this stuff. Nice work 👾

[@garlandremingtoniii1338]

Faster Than You Your right it does. I have it on my DVD.

[@shafrizamuri1218]

Kenny Wayne & Darlinda Remington III which dvd version? i had watch the whole scene before in vhs. but now all remove. i still remember this scene newt father had touch the caccoon. and chest bust after arrived at colonies.

[@leegsy]

@@shafrizamuri1218 A VHS version was released in the 90s that included the extra scenes and it was called Aliens Special Edition. The Alien Quadrilogy boxset has both the SE and theatrical versions. Most people prefer the extended cut. You can still get the theatrical version on DVD individually as well as both cuts on the boxset release.

[@shafrizamuri1218]

leegsy I didnt have it in my boxset. can u share with me which boxset i should get? really appreciate.

[@leegsy]

@@shafrizamuri1218 Which boxsets do you have? The Alien Quadrilogy? Is it DVD or BluRay? I don't recall those scenes you mention with Newt's parents and them touching an egg. The SE only has them finding the ship and then the father has the FH attached to him. Where did you see those scenes with them touching an egg? I would love to see that.

[@jacobgordon7998]

Thank you, AT. Your work is excellent and you are a great ambassador for the Alien franchise. I'm glad I found your channel. These videos rekindled my interest in the Alien universe. Having grown up in the 80s and 90s, and like other horror film franchises, these films (Alien, Aliens, and Alien 3) terrified me as a kid. Unlike those other franchises, the Alien universe is still terrifying as an adult. Perhaps not exactly like the Xenomorphs in the Alien universe, there could still be some kinds of parasitic species out there. Seems like something we could plausibly expect to find somewhere out there as we explore the universe. That is a scary thought.

[@stephenbreen7570]

I would pay to watch a movie about this.

[@darthvadersmom3147]

They see all the eggs containing the face-huggers and break out into joyous song and dance before inviting the Aliens to a picnic.

[@cocopud]

Great video, thank you for creating it. Is the book suggesting there were multiple pilot rooms? It's doubtful it is the same one as in alien as the most room crew would have noticed the eggs 😜 My method of reconciling Prometheus, covenant etc with the old films - simples - I ignore the new ones entirely 😎

[@TheLittleGrimmy]

Your narration as always is absolutely wonderful, and breathtaking. I found myself at the edge of my seat listening to your description of this narrative. One immediate question I had while listening was, if in fact these Xenomorphs did Spawn from the engineers wouldn't they be larger than them? Also, I'm still a bit too reluctannt to accept David's creation or evolution of the Xenomorphs. I have a hard time accepting the fact that a good portion of this franchise stems from some sociopathic synthetic person gone wrong. But I still do enjoy the idea from Prometheus that this ship was intended to go to Earth. I also would love if you would go deeper if you haven't already, into what happened to Newts Family Once the infection or outbreak started at Hadley's hope.

[@Savazhe]

These are AMAZING videos - love what you're doing! @ 6:05 - "Chitinous" is pronounced "KY-tin-us," not "CHIT-in-us," btw.

[@JonSmith-cx7gr]

Really. You're not kytin us are you?

[@hamsterSNAKE]

I've been subscribed for a while now and I'm not a book person and I really enjoy thesee videos....and the narration is excellent for that creepy campfire feel....always great content, keep rocking if my friend. 🍻

[@Frenchylikeshikes]

One of the biggest question I ever had since watching Aliens: what the hell happened inside ?

[@nyhcbd]

i guess that, by accident, some facehugger(s) came out of the egg(s), grab an engineer(s), a xenomorph(s) came alive and all hell broke loose... thats what is suggested from what we know and from the dead engineer on the space jockey's chamber...

[@alexjaybrady]

these readings and thoughts are legit terrifying. thankyou!

[@levantreven9659]

for future reference, chitin uses the greek 'chi' which is pronounced with a hard K like 'kai' so chitin is pronounced kai-tin

[@chrisspiers1]

Your work, as always, is completely top notch! Great job and thank you!

[@MoonDude138]

I'm a little late to the party, but you make some really awesome videos, mi amigo. Seriously, keep up the good work.

[@Ryan-pz4dh]

I never liked the explanation of the derelict’s origin from Prometheus. I always thought of the derelict ship as being a biomechanical “living ship”, much like Moya from Farscape. And the dead pilot inside with the ruptured chest I always thought of as a symbiotic creature that grows inside the ship (much like what Dallas pointed out) and operates the living ship. Sort of like Moya’s pilot in Farscape. It’s more consistent with what H.R. Giger’s designs were supposed to suggest.

[@adambomb138]

Go watch Farscape then.

[@lukasweiss4462]

Good to see that some people in the franchise were smart enough not to ram their noses straight into the eggs and rather keep their distance, too bad it doesn't make a difference to the facehuggers

[@Xenosaurian]

Noting that if the Derelict is indeed still ancient and "aeons old" then there is obviously no connection between the Derelict and David: Covenant.

[@majerstud]

Brother, you just told an incredibly scary story!

[@ronjon7942]

Yup. Imagine bein’ a kid, around the campfire…

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

11:52 This is the turn back point. They found a crew member. Photograph it, video record it, and tag it. Maybe with straps, between the two of them they could drag the suited crew member out of the ship. They can tag the ship, and claim salvage rights to their discovery. LEAVE NOW. The moral of the Story: DON'T LEAVE YOUR KIDS LOCKED IN THE CAR ! ! ! :-( Even dead, on an alien world, disease and biological hazards protocols would still be in place. They could bag up the dead crew member - in his uniform, and break off a sample of one of the dried out aliens, Tail and head. Bag that up too. Put it back in the cargo area of their vehicle, drive back, and report their findings to the Colony. They Must publicly report their findings, to stake their First Salvage rights claim on the alien ship, and it's contents. In the end, it still would have ended badly for anyone finding the eggs and the rest of the Colony. But even here on Earth, in the Real World, when exploring a cave or something, people come to the point where you realize you do not have the right equipment, perhaps a remote camera tracked drone is best... and you do not have adequate safety gear. Also - confined space entry laws are in effect here and now on Earth. Sure you may have oxygen on the outside upper layers of the Alien ship, but one wrong turn into the closed off ship and they could find themselves gasping for oxygen that does not exist.

[@xenomorph-2017]

They're not gonna be able to lift that thing outta there, it's huge. Just photograph it and get the fuck outta there.

[@davidmcleod5133]

The success of movies like Rogue One has left me wanting an entire movie devoted to what happened on LV-428 between Newt’s parents finding the spacecraft and the Colonial Marines arriving.

[@GalenValdrof]

I myself can't get into the books or comics. I'm just weird that way. Yet I do quite enjoy these kind of vids or "mini" audio documents. They are wonderfully insightful and how you go about it is well done, like painting color on a blank canvas. I have been around from early on in your channel and I have enjoyed every single vid. I appreciate all the effort and hard work you put into all of this. Thank you very much.

[@alanlee1355]

Yeah I never got into the books/comics but these are great and very relaxing listening to in bed before i go to sleep.
