That stuff is always very problematic, because it completely undermines the previous movie. That was the biggest (by far!!!) issue with Alien 3. It established that shortly after Aliens, after all the hardship and defying the odds, and after Ripley fought the Queen and rescued her, Newt died on the space ship (along with Hicks), so the whole fuckin' movie was for nothing. WTF?!?!
