Overview
Decades after the destruction of Nostromo, Ellen Ripley returns to LV-426 with Colonial Marines and the Sulaco's executive officer Bishop, a newer synthetic designed to be more trustworthy than Ash.
ASFR Content
Bishop is a human-looking android whose identity is disclosed early rather than hidden. His behaviour deliberately contrasts with Ash: he follows protective programming and repeatedly risks himself to help the humans. The film includes the knife trick revealing synthetic blood and, in the climax, the Alien Queen impaling and tearing Bishop in half while both halves of the android remain functional.
