In the movie "Alien" we see the so called "Space Jockey" fossilized, sitting on a chair. But isn't there something wrong with him? OMG! There is a hole on his chest! LOL

It is clear and "down to earth", that this hole was made from inside out by a "chest burster". But this raises the question: what came out from that hole? I mean was it a boy or a girl? Funny thought huh?
Remember the "thousands of eggs" scene? What on LV-426 has layed those eggs? James Cameron's answer in the movie sequel was that a "Queen Alien" was responsible for laying the eggs, but that doesn't seem to be the answer in the first movie and definitely not in Ridley Scott's universe.
So what was made first, the Alien or the Egg?
LOL, it really does make me laugh when people say "which came first the chicken or the egg" - The egg of course, dinosaurs laid eggs, small percentage evolve into birds, such as the chicken.
In terms of Alien, I like the Queen (and Princess) idea. Just because it essentially makes them bugs doesn't weaken them in my view. Insects are one of the oldest forms of life, can exist virtually anywhere and after any catastrophic event, and outnumber us by at least a million to one... making them 8 feet tall with acid for blood and using us as hosts to propagate, well that makes them frightening as hell in my opinion.
