I love that jones is a member of the crew with the rank of ‘ships cat’. This is great because since the oldest times cats were on ships to kill vermin and help with comfort and relaxation. They earned their place as companions and valued members of the ship thus becoming recognised actual crew with a specialised rank. I love the respect shown to them in real life and mirrored here in this fiction of the future.

[@YanoshRagauld]

Ohh yeah.. ofcourse, as I didn't make that connection. Thank you. Wow,. What a lovely touch. I better go watch it again!!

[@adolfnoise4673]

yes, and jones was the one who saved ripley in the shuttle when he warned her about the alien on board and also distracted it when she put on the suit in the closet. so her decision to respect him as part of the crew saved his and her own life.

[@D4veJap4n]

@@GeoffreyWare that’s an excellent observation. Gladly it doesn’t disprove my point and historical reference. Some real life points are needed to make science fiction a more hard sci fi setting and help suspend disbelief.

[@daleeasternbrat816]

In the old days Disney was OK. Now , they buy up intellectual property and then wreck it or put it to sleep. These oversized giant Monopolies ought to be broken up into competitive entities that are just Texas Sized huge. Disney ought to divest 2/3 of stuff not related to their core business. They are anti competitive and there are other companies that have too much influence because of their gargantuan size and monopolistic domination of their market, this achieved not by out performing all of their competitors, Like Space X, but by buying them up. This type anti competitive business model leads to a Disney . A very few companies have too much control of their market space. Anti Trust Laws were written for this They need a good stiff dose of Teddy Roosevelt's ghost !
