Anchorhead said:

Aliens - Haven't seen, never going to.
Why not?
Are you really asking Anchorhead why he refuses to watch a sequel to a movie that came out in the 70's? ;-)

LOL!

definitely didn't fit into canon with the extra stage of the Xenomorph lifecycle.

The xenomorph has an extra stage in the DC? I'm going to have to read up on that. I recently rewatched the first three Alien films (Theatrical, DC, and Q2 fanedit respectively), and I have to say it's a fascinating, and terrifying, personal journey that Ripley undertakes. I noticed she never manages to get back to Earth. I also realized for the first time that Alien is really about rape. So much genital symbolism, the facehugger shoves an organ down your throat and plants a seed in you that bursts out in a violent parody of childbirth. Suddenly, the whole thing became much creepier to me.
