Forgive me Sci-Fi, for I have sinned…
The first of the Alien/Aliens/Aliens^3/Alien: Ressurection series I ever saw was Aliens…and that is how I “imprinted” the storyline.
I had no idea that Contact was not the first sci-fi pairing of John Hurt and Tom Skerritt, untill watching Alien this evening.
No, it was not the first time I’d seen it, but only the second, and the first time I don’t think I recognized Hurt.
