@monsterzero9 If you need help, please just contact an Admin or Moderator, we're all here to help.

Is Dr Shaw the first alien queen?

That's what I always understood her to be, but as more of a prototype than an actual queen. There were a few threads on the subject way back when Alien Covenant was released. 

Star Wars Quiz for True Fans!

Moved this over to the "Other Fandoms" site, it doesn't belong in the Alien series site. Thanks for understanding!

Engineers Everywhere

@Biomechanic; Good news coming up for those who roleplay, and want to post threads like these, Chris is reworking the site chat so you will be able to do that there once it's up and running. 

Engineers Everywhere

Ridley Scott didn't write or create this show. He only directed a couple of episodes and added some stylistic choices/designs, everything else was Aaron Guzikowski. Aaron has said many times that the story in RBW has no connection to anything in the Alien franchise besides some stylistic choices.

Here is an article about how he came to work with Ridley Scott on the project: Raised By Wolves creator wants to know what will "Lead us out of the darkness"

'Speaking of sci-fi characters and fear, you get the master of that — Ridley Scott — to open the first two episodes of your show. How did that come about?

"I’d written the script and I’d brought it into his production company, Scott Free. I didn’t imagine he was going to direct it, just that they would produce it. But he read it and he responded to it — apparently he started drawing the storyboards immediately afterward, which was incredible.

When I heard that on the phone I was like, “Holy s***! That’s amazing, is he really going to do it?” I still didn't really believe it. But before you know it, we were in South Africa shooting. It was amazing, as soon as he got on board it started rolling along like a freight train. He was just having a great time, inspired to tell this story."

Here is another great interview with Aaron Guzikowski. He talks about what inspired him to create the show, the themes he chose to use, etc. 

On another note, please keep all Raised by Wolves topics here on the Scified SciFi Television forum, as the series is not connected to Alien/Prometheus. As I have said before in the past, if there is enough interest in the series I will ask Chris to create a proper sub site/forum for people to post in.

If you have any questions please feel free to PM me!

Do you have an inner voice

@hox; It's not like there is another person talking to me, it's just me, my inner voice. 

Do you have an inner voice

Yes, I have one. It's always been there, it helps me think.

Question about Alien

Is this about the game Alien Isolation? It's been awhile since I played.

(Post deleted)

@Everyone. She was a member here a longtime ago. She had requested that nothing of hers be linked to Scified, please respect her wishes. Thank you. 

Farewell

@SuperAlien - I mean, i'm working on getting Raised by Wolves a proper sub-site here, I really like RBW and am active on the reddit so no idea why you would think I have anything against the series or Ridley Scott. I'm a fan of both...

I'm an admin here, I have to do admin things sometimes and moving posts to the appropriate places is part of the job. I'm in the process of moving every RBW thread to here and have explained why on each of them, i've also requested people post any future RBW material to the proper forum from now on (Currently it's SciFi Television). This move has nothing to do with you or RBW, it's a simple logistical choice.

Like I said, if there is enough interest in this series here I will be working on getting a proper Raised By Wolves subsite, Scified Television is where it should be for now, it doesn't belong in any other site as it is it's own series and that helps with searches when people want to look up the series. 

Anyways, i'm sorry you're upset and hope you return. 

The Blade Runner story isn't over yet...

Pretty much the same for me! I saw both movies around the same time at a very young age thanks to my Father. Loved them ever since!

RAISED BY WOLVES - NEW TRAILER

@Roger G

Here are a couple of interviews with the show's creator, Aaron Guzikowski. He talks about what inspired him to create the show, the themes he chose to use and how he came to work with Ridley Scott on the project:  Raised By Wolves creator wants to know what will "Lead us out of the darkness"

'Speaking of sci-fi characters and fear, you get the master of that — Ridley Scott — to open the first two episodes of your show. How did that come about?

I’d written the script and I’d brought it into his production company, Scott Free. I didn’t imagine he was going to direct it, just that they would produce it. But he read it and he responded to it — apparently he started drawing the storyboards immediately afterward, which was incredible.

It was amazing, as soon as he got on board it started rolling along like a freight train. He was just having a great time, inspired to tell this story'.

Apart from some obvious stylistic choices, and directing a couple of episodes, Ridley Scott isn't that involved besides being a producer. The story was conceived and written by Aaron Guzikowski long before he and Ridley Scott met.

I'll have to fish around for the exact interview where he talks about how his story is not directly connected to the Blade Runner/Alien/Prometheus universes but here is a Deadline interview that mentions it: Deadline: 'Both Raised By Wolves and The Long Dark are original ideas based on original mythologies and not on pre-existing IP'.

 

RAISED BY WOLVES - NEW TRAILER

@Everyone- I have moved this thread to the appropriate site, Scified.com/forum/tv, and will move the rest over if need be. Please post any new Raised By Wolves threads there, thank you so much!

I do enjoy the series and am glad a second season was greenlit, if there is enough interest on site i'll see about getting a dedicated site here for the show.

(Some images appear to be broken, I apologise for that, if you have any questions ask Chris as he is the one who programmed the sites and would know why they broke).

RAISED BY WOLVES - NEW TRAILER

@BlackAnt. I actually agree with you and will see about moving all these RBW threads to the Scified main site. It's true, the creator, Aaron Guzikowski, has mentioned many times that RBW not connected to the Alien series. Also, thanks for joining the Blade Runner site, i'm the one whose been running it for the past 8 years! 

“Ridley has been working with these sorts of themes for a good long time now,” said “Raised by Wolves” creator/writer/executive producer Aaron Guzikowski. “So I think there’s a thematic connection — perhaps not a direct connection in terms of the mythology.”

However, he said, Scott was “intimately involved in the entire production, so there was a lot of sort of exchange of DNA between a lot of the mythologies that Ridley has established in the past and this new story.”

@Everyone; It would be best, from now on, if RBW threads could be posted on Scified. Thanks so much!

RAISED BY WOLVES - NEW TRAILER

I've posted this in a couple other threads because I think it needs addressing; Ridley Scott didn't create Raised by WolvesAaron Guzikowski did and he has repeatedly stated that his series has nothing to do with Alien or Prometheus

Apart from some stylistic choices and directing a couple episodes Ridley Scott isn't that involved besides being a producer. The themes/ideas in Raised by Wolves most certainly do not come from him, they come from Aaron as he conceived and wrote the story.

Don't get me wrong, I love Ridley Scott, but it seems like his name is overshadowing the actual creator's and I really feel like Aaron Guzikowski should be given the credit he deserves.

                      ************************

-Here is a nice article about how he came to work with Ridley Scott on the project:  Raised By Wolves creator wants to know what will "Lead us out of the darkness"

Excerpt:

'Speaking of sci-fi characters and fear, you get the master of that — Ridley Scott — to open the first two episodes of your show. How did that come about?

*For the record, I quite like the show and am active in the subreddit r/raisedbywolves.

ALIEN: Manticore sequel update

@Blackwinter-witch Yay! I am so happy I was able to help. I hope you feel better now and do continue to write! 

ALIEN: Manticore sequel update

@Blackwinter-witch Like I said on your other thread, if you need anything PM me, i'm almost always around. Keep your chin up and don't despair, and don't give up your dreams because of this, take a break and come back to it. I really hope you find the peace and happiness you deserve.

                     ********************

((I already posted on your other thread, but i'll post here too so people can see it, because for some reason people think Ridley Scott is the creator.))

Ridley Scott didn't write or create this show. He only directed a couple of episodes and added some stylistic choices/designs, everything else was Aaron Guzikowski.

Here is an article about how he came to work with Ridley Scott on the project: Raised By Wolves creator wants to know what will "Lead us out of the darkness"

Final statements

@Blackwinter-witch I hope you're ok, if you need anything PM me, i'm almost always around. Please keep your chin up and don't despair, and don't give up your dreams because of this, take a break and come back to it. That said, it's sad to see you leave but you are always welcome back. I really hope you find peace and happiness you deserve. 

                          *********************

I would also like to say, because I think it needs addressing; Ridley Scott didn't create "Raised by Wolves", Aaron Guzikowski did.

Don't get me wrong, I love Ridley Scott, but it seems like his name is overshadowing the actual creator's and I really feel like Aaron Guzikowski should be given the credit he deserves.

Resurrection Observation

There used to be a really wonderful blog that explained these things in depth,sadly I can't find it anymore. I also can't find the old post I made about the tubes way back when based on what this blog said. (There were Giger images to support the theory).

Anyways, the dorsal tubes were used to secrete the resin that made the hive walls/coocoons. Like a spider's spinnerets. The Alien was positioned upside down while spinning the resin. 

Here is another source that talks about it: Xeno Dorsal Spines

Laziness

 This is way off topic. I'll ask Chris to open up the chatroom we used to have, so you guys can talk about your lives and socialize.

Spam Parody/Awareness

We have a whole team dedicated to getting rid of the spam, just ignore the spammers and we will ban them eventually. :D

Happy Anniversary to the Kiryu Saga

I've always preferred Godzilla against Mechagodzilla over Tokyo S.O.S.

I’m back

Guys, can we please not have off-topic posts like this? Thanks so much.

An Overdue Check In

Ah dang, I just realized you're on a second account. Your first one was banned because you were a tad spicy back then. Since you seem to have grown up since then, so i'll unban that account and just ask you to use it. Our TOS forbids multiple accounts, so I have to enforce that.

An Overdue Check In

Hi Spino! Welcome back. 

What is the first show that got you hooked into science fiction

In my case it was watching Star Wars, Star Trek, Blade Runner and Alien. I've liked sci-fi ever since I was very little.

Who is the first user on Scified?

Chris was first as it's his site, then Gavin, myself and a few others joined in 2011-2012 before the movie Prometheus launched. Once the movie came out we started getting more and more people. Not many of the original members are around anymore.

How i was before joining Scified

@Ganimes V.8 That's just an error, you didn't need to make a whole new account. I'll PM you and help you recover your main account. 

How i was before joining Scified

@Ganimes V.8 Heya! I'm so glad we have given you a place where you feel at home and can express yourself. The Staff and I try hard to keep spam off site, we know it's annoying. As for your account, PM me and I'll give you a new PW to login, that or we can figure out why you can't login to your main account! I'll move this topic to the correct place as well! :D

A Different Way to Detect Aliens

Moved it. Love Key and Peele!

Griffin V.S. Dragon

I'll allow this because it's obvious you worked hard on it, and I will ask Chris if he is willing to make a separate page for fan fiction posts (since a lot of you seem very interested in creative writing). Please try and not create too many posts like this on Scified for now though, until I can find a proper place for you to post them. If you must post, try and keep them on topic and to the appropriate forums. Thank you for your understanding, if you have any questions feel free to PM me! 

Michael Fassbender Would Love to Return for a Covenant Sequel!

I'd watch Fassbender in anything, he's an amazing actor. He's the best part of this series imo. 

What happened to Chris Oram when he was a child?

I think he meant he was molested as a child, that's what I understood anyways.

Miss You Guys (2.0)

@VivisectedEngineer Was my pleasure helping out! Glad to see you back, and congrats!!! 

Was the cgi for the first three films REALLY that good? No.

I think the CGI from the first film has held up quite well. When it was released the CGI was amazing frankly, the other films I can't vouch for though.

Looking for movie name with walnut

Good call, dk! There's a walnut necklace in the film.
