Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007) introduced a younger form of the full-grown queen, albeit with traits inherited from its Predator host. Recalling the facehugger's method of embryo implantation, the Predalien uses its inner mouth to directly deposit multiple chestburster embryos into pregnant female hosts, also using its mandibles to latch on the faces of said hosts, completely bypassing the need for facehuggers.[32] This is explained by the Brothers Strause as a means of quickly building an army of Aliens before the young queen evolves into its sedentary, egg-laying state.[33]
When a chestburster erupts from the body of a human host, it is less than 30 centimetres (12 in) tall, although the embryo can vary in size from a guinea pig to a large dog depending on the size and species of the host. Its appearance and adaptive characteristics are also determined by the host. Typically, its first instinct upon emerging is to flee and hide until full maturation, as well as find a source of nutrition. However, it soon undergoes a dramatic growth spurt, reaching adult size in a matter of hours; in Alien, the chestburster had grown to 2 metres (6.6 ft) in height by the time the Nostromo crew located it again.[NB 3] The chestburster is shown to have molted before reaching maturity.[12] In Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, Alien warriors who are still growing are shown, displaying shed skin. In the unrated cut, the Predalien is shown wiping off its final molted skin at the film's start.

This variation is the result of a facehugger impregnating a Predator. The "Predalien" was first depicted in a painting by Dave Dorman, and subsequently featured in the Aliens versus Predator comics and games. A Predalien chestburster debuted in the final scene of Alien vs. Predator (2004), but did not make a full on film appearance as an adult until Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007).

The human survivors plant charges and flee the ship as its liftoff sequence begins. David runs for the safety of his home, pursued by his parents, still under alien control. As the rising alien ship explodes, David's parents recover and try to protect him as the massive fireball races toward them.
Perhaps it only worked as a miniseries. After V (1983) and V: The Final Battle (1984) drew in millions of viewers, NBC green-lit a full series of the alien invasion epic. Only, it ended up being another miniseries, of sorts, as only 19 episodes were produced. Part of the problem was the cost, a whopping million bucks an episode, making it the most expensive show on television at the time.
Ancient aliens are a trendy subject for modern sci-fi, from shows on the History Channel to those recent Ridley Scott Alien prequels. But the concept has been done before, briefly. Judson Scott, who at the time was best known to sci-fi fans as the main henchman of Khan in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, starred Bennu of the Golden Light, an ancient alien awoken from a sarcophagus in Peru. He seeks his companion and lover, Mira. This show, too, traces its ideas back to Chariots of the Gods?, the 1968 book by Erich von Däniken that posited the whole ancient aliens idea.

His land. Back on Terra they had forgotten the fullness that came with belonging to the earth, but the men who colonized among the stars remembered. Looking back, Langdon thought that the real instability and alienness was in the Solar System. Men had no roots there, and it was a secret woe in them and made them feverish and restless, eager to taste from all cups but shuddering away from draining any one. 2ff7e9595c
