Huge plot hole..

Charlie says the Critter eggs take 6 months to incubate. Yet in part 3 the critter eggs hatch within a matter of hours.

See you in the funnies.

i suppose the 50 years of floating slowed the incubation but it still took place.

It could be possibly because the Crites were becoming very few to where their whole population was getting very small and that is why. Like the dinosaurs. That is just a thought and theory you know.

It's been a long time since I saw it, but from the movie do they specifically state they layed the eggs there?. For all we know they might have had the eggs in the spaceship on the way to earth or hidden in the cell they escaped from and went to earth not only to find food for themselves but also to find a place for the eggs to hatch and a food source for the newborns.

The series is very inconsistent about this issue right from the start as the eggs laid in the first movie don't hatch until two years later and even then only when someone left them next to a room heater.

The eggs from the first movie were frozen during the winter months (though it's weird how they didn't then hatch during the summer). It's possible that freezing disrupted the natural birth cycle and it took some "jump starting" to get them to hatch again, which is where the heater came in handy.

The eggs from the third movie hatched within hours, unless you think the family stayed in the same clothes and took six months to drive a few miles to Kansas City (where it took place) from Grovers Bend. The Crite was likely a refuge from the second movie.
