Bishop is, most certainly, not an android.

Rating: 8/10 (20 October 2006)

I just finished watching Alien 3 Assembly Cut and my humble proposition is that Bishop (2) is not an android, but the actual person. If we take AvP as a retcon this can still work. Neuromancer informs this argument. The Tessier-Ashpool clan would be a basis for this proposition. Meaning that the founder of the clan would be cloned and subsequent clones be brought in and out of 'stasis' and the one that is 'alive' in charge. Bishop (2) may be a clone of the founder (respecting Avp), or a stakeholder in his own right (ignoring AvP), and has a heavy interest in the survival of the Xenomorph species, for his own (promotion, prestige (as a clan holder/employee)). I wish to discuss this.
