I mean, "I'm not sure if/how the following deleted scene from Alien
Covenant could have been woven into the plot somewhere..." it kinda puts
a long-stop to the action (derivative corridor airlocking ret-con that
it became) of the last reel. It certainly couldn't have come before the
scene where the Facehugging begins...
This David-speech needed to be said, "Somewhere," in the final moments of Alien Covenant. Or maybe as an edited GENESPLICE into the flowing climax of the narrative, somehow. Building and revealing the details of David's encroaching mind-mutiny.
It's
just too good to have been neglected... you know, if you have any faith
at all in the fact that 'David designed the Xenomorph' as a genetic
warrior i.e. weapon for Weyland-Yutani.
Personally, I still think the SPACE JOCKEY or GANESHA-LIKE TRUCKER
from Scott's original Alien should have been a genomorph hailing from a
planet/race of such who trade the human genome across the developing
galaxy, such is its fantastic potential for CANCEROUS mutation.
Make
(what we now call) 'humanity' the star of the show, would have been 'my
interpretation' of any Alien Prequel -- man among the giants of the
universe. Make it Giger-sexy, a Caligula space opera. Don't bother with
'a Queen' as the xenomorph can clearly BE all it wants, make all it
wants. Thanks to the captive human genestrokes...
Make it an aeons-running human-trafficking story that ended with a 'space trucker' SCHINDLER'S LIST-LIKE hyperspace-unfolding and soft-landing his eggy-cargo exodus/legacy of human DNA on LV426. And have it done with.
Fuck it, I'm gonna write this re-timeline Giger-nostalgia into my next Hertzan Chimera story CUNTLAND CHRONICLES. It's gonna bite! Sordid-tasty, real nasty!

Hertzan Chimera - Bukkakeworld and Planet of the Owls - tenth anniversary editions?
Released simultaneously by Silverthought Press of NY, I'm very tempted to re-issue the 40,000 words novels Bukkakeworld and Planet of the Owls via Chimericana Books in these special TENTH ANNIVERSARY EDITION covers some time in 2018.
