I think the reason the preda...Show don't tell?<br /><br />I think the reason the predatory ETI laughs is because he (?) thinks he's getting the last laugh.<br /><br />In tapping on his wrist-keyboard is it not a case of translating Arnie's question but initiating a self-destruct countdown (in alien numerals of course) of his suit's power source. He does that <br /><br />a) because all Predators destroy all evidence of their existence if bested by their prey and dying to maintain their power over their pray;<br /><br />b) because he's already suffered a fate worse than death - dishonour, defeated by a mere Austrian, and <br /><br />c) to take his adversary to the ET equivalent of Valhalla with him. He cannot know that our Arnie can outrun a micro-nuke explosion and get to minimum-safe-distance, winning a further victory over the fallen Predator.<br /><br />Or am I reading too much into the uncertainty left by the script writer(s)?Philip C Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506199502085466202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6771775388110854391.post-57771581989396428412016-04-26T06:31:03.109+01:002016-04-26T06:31:03.109+01:00I like this!

But planning which ends will float free, well I reckon that's an art as well.<br />Despite appearances 'Alien - the Sequel'.... becomes a possibility!Penny Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05987400902932312959noreply@blogger.com
