Line 454:
* [[Traitor Shot]]: Bishop gets one that looks like this when he talks with Spunkmeyer about the Facehugger specimens kept in the medical wing. He later proves to be a capable support character who rescues Ripley and Newt at a pivotal moment.
* [[Troll]]: Bishop, while he's a nice guy and is programmed to never harm a human being, it doesn't stop him from scaring the crap out of Hudson with the knife trick.
* [[Trope Codifier]]: ''Aliens'' pretty much single -handedly defined the visual style for humans in a [[Standard Sci -Fi Setting]]. ''[[Babylon 5]]'', ''[[Free Space]]'', ''[[StarCraft]]'', ''[[Halo (series)|Halo]]'' and ''[[Mass Effect]]'' all pretty much draw directly on this movie as the main source of inspiration what human military technology is and what it looks like.
* [[True Love Is Boring]]: Pretty much stated by [[Word of God]] as the reason Hicks, Newt and Bishop were killed off between ''Aliens'' and ''Alien 3''.
* [[Turned Against Their Masters]]: In the first movie, it's implied that the Aliens were bred to be living weapons but killed their creators, the ancient "Pilot creatures".
