    Toada, they are useless against such a creature.

    Ack, you beat me to the post while I was checking on yesterday’s thread. You are so quick.

    I never saw any of the Alien movies. What does work against such a creature?

    Pitchforks and torches never worked against ideas inside of men either, but that didn’t stop angry mobs from grabbing them anyway. They seem to satisfy the mob more than damage what the mob fears.

    Rakkav The first movie is the best, IMO. If I remember right, the alien gets jettisoned out into space.

    Reminds me of an OUTER LIMITS show with Robert Culp.

    It got jettisoned into space, but that was after it popped out of John Hurt’s chest. Not the optimum solution, I think.

    @Rakkav—only thing works v. the Alien is Sigourney Weaver. You have to call her agent first though.

    All I know is that you should not try and cut it while you are in a space ship! Something to do with acid….

    About 3 hours of new age music should do it.

    Pitchfork and torches may be a good starting point.

    Yeesh, this face-hugger is taking a long time to die after serving its singular purpose.

    At least Toada didn’t ask for any Bernaise sauce!

    Will this mean that Philbert will have a new friend?

    Alien was actually an uncredited remake of a 1950s movie called It: The Terror From Beyond Space. I’ve seen the earlier movie; it’s not bad.

    Second movie was the best. One was good but second is best.

    In order to kill a xenomorph (the popular fan nickname for the otherwise-unnamed aliens), you do what you do with everything else–melee weapon, brute strength, or preferably a gun (i.e. a plasma rifle or powerful machine gun; heck a sword can kill one as told in the novels). Xenos have tough armor but aren’t invincible.

    Though unless using a gun you need a ton of brute strength. Predator, by far, is the best xenomorph killer by far. For humans, use a mech. They did that in the second movie.

    I saw the first Alien when it was new. No one in the audience or on the screen knew anything about the critter. It was much better that way.

    OK, Toada, again, I don’t know about pitch forks, but your undieson a stick would make a good torch. Just wear protective goggles…
