(Note that this is a difference from the original concept for the film, where the Alien makes new eggs by dissolving its victims' bodies with its venom -- hence its penis-shaped head, it's a twisted parody of how insemination and fertilization work)

(But I think the original film is more effective without this detail, like whether you like the existence of the Queen in the sequel or not, it makes the first movie stronger to have "Where the hell do these things COME FROM" a big mystery)
