'In space no one can hear you scream' was the great poster one-liner from the first Alien movie in 1979. It's also the title of one of eight episodes in Alien:, the first TV extension of the franchise. As its name suggests, it's the first time the nasty creatures, which kept making life difficult for Sigourney Weaver's Ripley in the early films, have been brought to terra firma. True, 2004's Alien vs. Predator had a terrestrial monster bash, but that's best ignored.
