How the egg got on the Sulaco ........

It's been a while. Wasn't it revealed that either Newt or Hicks body had actually been implanted?

The queen must have popped out the 2 (two) eggs somehow, during the fight in the cargo...

Then they hatched and one facehugger attached itself to Ripley - helping her survive the landing even though her capsule must have been broken (by said facehugger), while the other one was waiting in the shadows until it bumped, seemingly by accident, into a hot beautiful cow...

Is anyone going to mention the screw up with the hypersleep chambers from Aliens to Alien cubed? They changed dramatically in the ones in Alien cubed look more like the chambers from the Nostromo in Alien. There was no intention of Fincher to keep any continuity from Cameron to his film. But then anything inconsistent from Aliens to Alien cubed is kinda all on Sigourney Weaver. She got a producers credit on the film and loved the aspect of it. She wanted to shave her head and have a sex scene. She also said she wanted Ripley to die giving birth to an alien. So any plot points that were off are all on her.

i still don't get it.

I always thought it popped an egg out somewhere and it was never seen, that we were meant to assume this. Then the facehugger hatched and impregnated Ripley.

I recall something mentioned in a fan commentary about a comic or novel in which some salvage hunters or something board the ship and then Weyland and a security team board to find out what happened, and there's a fire fight. The ship is damaged and the fire starts, and the salvage guys are killed while Weyland and co. escapes.

Aliens Colonial Marines addressed this, and it is canon, but I actually forgot who physically placed the egg. The game isn't that good, but it does have its moments. This person went out of their way to place the egg on a diagonal bulkhead too.

A good point. I never thought of that.
