I hadn't heard of that! Just looked it up and it seems very promising.

...Timothy Olyphant, though

Yes, but I thought this new pattern (coincidence?) might be interesting to point out.

His name was actually ND, not Andy. Which, if it suggests Not David, then we're at least closer to the fifth letter of the alphabet.

Finally got around to seeing this with my 16 year-old. We both enjoyed it. I particularly liked the facehuggers in the water and the zero-g acid blood scene.

The “Offspring” was certainly freaky. And yeah, its growth rate was ridiculously fast.

Yep, David was #4. Ash, Bishop, Call, David.

Then we had Walter who was David's opposite twin and is 4 letters from the other end of the alphabet.

Then this movie has Andy and Rook, which pretty much breaks the pattern completely.

Since this movie takes place between Ash and Bishop, it would be hard to stick to the sequence. An David comes first.

Blimey. I said that last year!

They follow publication order, not in-universe chronology. Alien, Aliens, Alien4, Prometheus. Ash, Bishop, Cal, David.

Which makes it a completely meta joke. Which is worn out.
