well apart from the fact Scott did'nt write Alien.. he directed it. it was written by Dan O'Bannon... and Bladerunner? again. he only directed it... sorry.. I'll listen to the ppl writing the Stories. like the guy that wrote 'The Empty Child / The Doctor Dances' and 'Human Nature / The Family of Blood' and 'Blink' for Doctor Who.... who prove that Science Fiction is not 'dead'....
