Note to cryotube designers


Make sure the failure mode of your cryosleep technology is instant incineration of contents. You know it makes sense.

It is only only calibrated to incinerate men.

What makes you think james Franco identifies as male? He could be non bianary gender fluid type

reply

As true as that may be the character must have had Y-chromosomes as the crytotube couldn't have incinerated them otherwise :)

I'd be curious to know how many transsexuals were selected to be among the colonists :-p

reply

I've read that Veronica Cartwright's character Lambert from the original Alien was meant to be a transsexual woman, if true it could be that sexual orientation is a lot more lax in the future than it currently is just now.

Makes sense when you think of all the sexual undertones alluded to throughout Alien and Giger's art.

reply

Is that just a joke, or is it stated somewhere?

reply

It is a humorous reference back to the medpod from Prometheus.

reply

Ah, I only saw that film once, and don't remember specific dialog. All I recall of the medpod is that after it cut through Shaw's skin and muscle, it stitched her back up so well she could spend the rest of the film running around. Amazing technology!
