== Fridge Brilliance ==

* The ''[[Alien]]'' films are great in and of themselves, but one thing I've just recently begun to appreciate much more is the fact that [[Word of God|H.R. Giger]] never gave the titular [[Fan Nickname|Xenomorphs]] a single defined gender, instead opting to make them a "horrific blurring of both sexes". Why is this so brilliant? Simple, [[Two Words: Obvious Trope|they're aliens]]. These are creatures whose biology is so unlike our very own that the conventional labels of "male" and "female" do not apply to them. It also makes the aliens far more terrifying. After all, lions, in comparison, are also scary, but at least we know they have clearly defined genders.-baronobeefdip

* The events of ''[[Prometheus]]'' provide a plausible explanation for why Mother was able to decode some of the distress signal in ''Alien''.
