side note: the xenomorph from Alien and its lifecycle are quite similar to very dangerous zombies, but in today's thinking-about-epidemiology-a-lot world, I want to note how the first Alien (and only the first) bothered to remember instant death = less long term threat

In the original movie it was like the POINT was that there was no "Alien Queen" and the Alien doesn't have any way of making new eggs The eggs are manufactured, they're bombs designed to be smuggled somewhere to infect specific targets to "go off" later as an Alien attack

The purpose of the weapon is to be self-limiting, to NOT spread exponentially, it destroys a ship or a city and then leaves you free to safely pick through the wreckage The implication was that the Space Jockey ship was a target and/or attacker in some ancient war
