HOw does Alien 4 fit into the thematic arc?

I've only seen bits and pieces.  Alien 3 took too much out of me.

For what it's worth, others have said it's not as terrible as 3.

I took a bunch of my wife's baklava to work this morning, and it was gone in 20 minutes.

I don't know where that comes from, as it's an atrocious, atrocious film.  It's as if the Alien franchise wanders into Warhammer 40K absurdism.

It means your boss has decided on some wacky new initiaitive and you have to clean up the mess.

This long Alien discussion should be moved to the movie thread.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I am sure that thread already has one.

And besides, this is the OTT.  Anything goes.

Alien 3 is way better than Alien 4 which is an unbelievably atrocious piece of shit.
