If the filmmakers decide that ''Alien³'' and ''Resurrection'' actually “happened”, all they have to do is adopt the same method of restarting franchises that’s very much in vogue these days, thanks to the ''Film/StarTrek'' reboot, ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', and the upcoming ''[[Film/TerminatorGenisys Terminator]]'' film: Have a character travel into the past, going from the timeframe of ''Resurrection'' to just after ''{{Film/Aliens}}'' to stop whatever disaster befell the ''Sulaco'', causing the creation of an alternate parallel timeline that splits off in a totally different direction from ''Alien³''.\\\

->''Season five had Dawn in it. Dawn is Buffy's little sister. What's that, you ask, there was no mention of [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy]] ever having a little sister, you can't just throw in random shit and act like it's always been there. Welcome to fan reaction when this first aired.''
