Bishop is low key one of the most important characters in Aliens. Without him, there would've been no survivors of LV-426. Congrats to the author, from one fan to another!

I bloody tripped out when I realised T.R.Napper is an Aussie, it's great to see it in the Alien universe ; )

I love most of the novels that have released for Alien. Can’t wait to read this one! Bishop is one of my favorite characters and I loved that we got a continuation for him in the William Gibson script.

A stellar interview my friend. I haven't read an Aliens novel in years. I LOVED the 3 that followed A3, Nightmare Asylum and the rest. I'll give Bishop a go for sure.

Aliens was the first film I saw too. Its late here so I'll have to watch this again later. Definitely share T.R. Napper's interest in Bishop. You've made a sale. I've preordered it. Delivery week after. ❤

Congratulations to Alien Theory. Mr. Napper stated that he used your channel as a main resource for this material, while researching for his book. You truly deserve that credit. I have been waist deep in all things "Alien" since my father took me to see it in the theater. I can say that your channel is something special.

WICKED AWESOME interview and extremely intriguing conversation. Loved it from start to finish! Can't wait to read the book!

If Alien Theory endorses this novel… I am in 200%. Thank you both for this interview!

Nice! This will be interesting.

Loved the interview, fantastic stuff. Very interesting as an Aliens obsessed fan and generally.

I've watched this interview over a few days now. It's very enlightening over questions I wondered about while watching the movies. Very cool. Hope you get to do more like this.

That was a fantastic interview. 10/10 You latched onto every aspect of the alien universe, like a facehugger..

Novel's preordered and I'm really looking forward to reading it. Bishop has always been one of my favourite characters since first watching Aliens back in the 90s.

This is just incredible interview, I can't thank you enough! Thank you! I hope your making money on this channel to provide for ur family needs!

The book about Bishop sounds really interesting. Definitely a must read book 📖

Awesome that you got to interview the author!

Great Interview! Excited about the book!

Another wonderful interview. I look forward to picking this book up when it hits the shelves.

My uncle was the same. I got the alien queen action figure with the pump/pneumatic inner mouth. I remember my mums face when I opened it at Christmas. 😂 But I played with that toy so much! (I think that’s why I’m such an “Aliens” fan, over any of the other movies).

Superb Interview-Thanx AT !

Bishop deserves a Netflix spin-off series. Just like Saul Goodman from Breaking Bad.

This channel is the GOAT of all things Alien on KZfaq. Period. Your obvious love and passion for the subject is evident in each video. My personal favorites were your readings of The Earth War ( outstanding job and SO re-listenable! ), and your Bill Paxton tribute, that one got me choked up. But it was beautifully stated and i think represented how most people who loved his work felt. Thank you for all you hard work and continuingly putting out fresh content for us Alien fans. Cheers!

Great interview. Can't wait to read/listen to this.

I just bought the 35th year anniversary edition of Alien from Amazon! looking forward to watching with all the extras!

I have always loved this channel. It always seems like we are close to a glut of alien works for you to review, with the upcoming show and the movie. I'm absolutely going to buy this novel. Really great interview.

Excellent!

Fantastic interview! Great stuff as always!

Great interview. Thank you.

I watched Aliens for the first time, when I was a teenager and i couldn't stop of watching it.

Cool Interview. Thanks Theory.

looking forward to reading this

I’ve always thought of Bishop as one of the most intriguing characters in Aliens. It would have been interesting to have seen Bishop roaming the Sulaco as the crew was in hypersleep, taking care of all the ship & crews needs as David did on the Prometheus.

I remember one of the Alien audio books here on KZfaq, I don't remember which one specifically, had a story that included the character Bishop, and basically it was about his creation and the jobs or missions he was on before joining up with the Colonial Marines that we see in Aliens. I wonder if this book took that story into account or if it totally changed it?

Holy Moly Monday Made ! cheers dude!

After watching this, I’m definitely getting the book!👍

I feel blessed that my uncle's let me watch alien and aliens when i was young child, i have watched those movie countless times especially aliens, i have bought most of the novels now and they are amazing, i just finished aliens phalanx now im starting aliens bishop and i know im gonna love it as it feels like a true sequel to aliens, im a huge fane of the colonial marines i love it and i dont want this book to end

Ordered the hardcover! Excited to check it out.

I'm excited for this! Added to my Audible wish list!

This was awesome thank you

This is great 👌

Great Interview AT, can't wait to get my hands on this book!

Fascinating discussion

Bishop and Hackett, probably two of my favorite support characters of all time. The only crime is Lance Hendriksen is not immortal.

Man been following you for a long time. Really enjoyed this interview. I love your passion for aliens and predator and look forward to you covering what might come in the future.

Have listen to the book on Audible and I loved the story. What I didn’t understand is why the studio executives didn’t allowed him to write about the pheromones within the story. In the book “Aliens Infiltrator.” This scientific thesis is explored in Chapter 50 of the book. It made me wonder if they read or listen to the books of this awesome franchise. In Infiltrator the French scientists Atean develops a spray derived from Alien Pheromones and is able to escape and elude the attack of the Alien drones when they finally break loose from the mess hall. I just wish the story in the book would have been a little longer. However, I think the story line still has a lot of potential.

Lance Henriksen is such a wonderful actor. In Alien vs Predator he does an Amazing job. They wasted his talent, because, they could have done a new entry on the Alien Saga with him in the Bishop role.

Fantastic interview, Derek.

As an Android Bishop could be to all intents immortal.

If K9s in the military or law enforcement are considered govt property, yet are considered family or part of the unit, then artificial persons should certainly be considered not just as a Marine, but a brother in arms.

If bishop II is human how did he take a blow like that to the back of the head with a giant tool? A blow so hard it left his entire ear dangling from his head?

I just want to add we need more alien audio drama and i would love to see lance hendrickson return to voice bishop if they ever make this into an audio play

I see Kids doing with pens That scene of Bishop with the knife on the Hudson's Hand, until to This day. Amazing.

I'm ssoo bummed out that the huge cliffhanger in Alien Covenant won't be addressed 😢

It's nice to know those 20th century studios are actually keeping the Alien lore and continuity in check, unlike Lucasfilms with star wars.

1:24 is the sort of admission that gets you on the acknowledgement page 😉

What a voice!

I thoroughly enjoyed the new Apone character.

I wish the book would release in paperback.

I think the difference in writing human characters vs Bishop is you have a basic blueprint for him and the parameters are somewhat set. Human characters you have to flesh out, make 3 dimensional, different from you, different from one another and interesting.

I can understand that AVP wasnt mentioned as it’s sort of a side story and not necessarily part of the canon. But there’s the original human Weyland

Bishop&Walter vs. Ash&David

This novel/ausible looks great. Btw, Is Australia still a prison colony? Lol

Very nice

Why hell yes,we enjoyed A3, because I wasn't a stuckup movie snob back in the early 90s 😂😂😂

Wow this was cool.

I loved it. Well worth this month's audible credit. Though on another note this book will totally be banned in china 😂

To be inspired to write a book about the Alien Universe, you only need to watch and like the movies, to have a good imagination and good writing skills.

I love aliens 3

Alien Theory should right a book that follows up the events of Alien Covenant. The title, "Alien, the Lost Engineer", or, "Alien Yutani".

Lol the aussie asking "can i swear on here" feels very australian

Nice.

Dude I just pre ordered the novel.

BishOOOOOOOOOP!!!!

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Damnit how did I manage to miss this;?!!

E T A Sixteen Minutes

After David we should bring back of Bishop.

Looking forward to seeing how the action scenes will be written when the main character won't even allow himself to hold a handgun due to his programming. It's going to take clever writing considering the ruleset placed upon the author.

@Alien Theory I just got Audible Account started just listen to BugHunt and River of Pain I’m going to start Bishop next can you recommend any other good titles to read/listen to

Man i don't remember that scene 28:14

I have a story I want to write but at the time I asked for permission (2003), Fox literally told me to go to hell. What is the process to write for the series without being treated like trash? It feels like it's impossible to even ask for the green light, but several people I follow already have books out on the series. There's obviously a way. My problem is, I know how to write but I have no idea how to navigate the industry.

Hey Alien Theory!

Thank you for saying artificial person, we prefer that....I mean they prefer thst

Lance wanted to play the Terminator but ended up playing a memorable android instead, after all .Still under Cameron

Suoport comment

Killing hicks & newt especially newt was unbelievably inappropriate. I can see killing hicks within the story of alien 3. But killing a ten year old and robbing Ripley of her motherly redemption arch was a horrific move.

Uan akien 3 fan, not 4

China loosing !? 15:22 based ?

To upload, That's kinda a Morality issue. Is it right or wrong?

Bro you should write a book. You probley know more then this guy. I remember watching the alien when I was 8 then several years letter aliens came out. It was the best alien movie avaliable at that time.

Aliens 3 is way better than 4. By parsecs

Wtf took you so long lol

1:20:50 bro you’re super montone and blah

1:34 so dude admitted to knowing jack shit beforehand ….
