The Alien TV Show Already Honors Ellen Ripley (Without Including Her)
FX's new Alien TV show already honors the iconic Ellen Ripley without physically including her in its story. Helmed by Fargo's Noah Hawley, Alien tells the story of a near-future Earth some 30 years before Ripley and the Nostromocrew's fateful voyage in 2122. Yet despite not focussing on Sigourney Weaver's Ellen Ripley in the insular way the original Alien movies did, FX's Alien still finds a slick way to pay homage to her highly influential character in the Alien canon.
