*** Even more awesome about this very fact? The only way to kill the titular alien is to kill Ripley herself. See, Ellen Ripley needs the alien, and vice versa. Ripley has outsmarted the alien twice over the course of 60 years, and now it's official that ''even a fucking chestburster inside of her'' won't stop Ripley. Why? Because the alien itself has the most personal relationship with her, of anyone. Ripley made her duplicity clear to the Xenomorph queen, and all her years of experience had made her unafraid of death- in fact, she is basically ''thrilled'' at the thought of dying ''just to rub it into the alien race''. So after a number of years of death, misery, and what not, Ripley dies just to say "fuck you" to the very thing trying to gaslight her into submission. And it's [[DyingMomentOfAwesome fucking incredible]].

** In the end, what killed Ellen Ripley? Aliens? No. Marines? No. Weyland Yutani? No. It took ''herself'' to kill herself - everything else tried and '''''failed'''''.

* The third time Andrews does a "Rumor Control" speech, still not believing in "The Dragon," the alien grabs him from an airshaft. ...which is a pretty effective way to settle the rumors.

** What makes this moment so awe-inspiring is how Dillon manages to rally the other prisoners to fight for a common goal and risk their lives despite the prison population basically being described as rapists, murderers, and child rapists, essentially the dregs of human scoiety and the worst parts of humanity, all showing valor and bravery in the face of a monster that wants them all dead.
