Alien Deleted Scene Became A Big Xenomorph Plot Hole When Ridley Scott Made It Canon

Ridley Scott’s Alien: Director’s Cut reinserted a scene that creates a major plot hole within the franchise. The Alien series has produced a few famous deleted scenes over the years, such as Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) discovering the cocooned Burke (Paul Reiser) during the finale of Aliens or the reawakened Engineer briefly speaking in Scott’s prequel Prometheus. While these sequences were once confined to novelizations or articles on the series, the advent of DVD and Blu-ray has made them widely available.
