I was wading through the Aliens Blu-Ray extras yesterday, and came across the isolated Nostromo crew profiles that flash up in the background in the scene where Ripley is at the inquiry.
There's some weird s**t right there!
Turns out that Lambert was born male and had her sex changed (parents wanted a girl??) at birth :confused
Kane is an ex alcoholic and substance abuser, who switched from medical crew to avoid the temptation of raiding med supplies.
Brett is smarter than Parker but has been unable to progress in WY due to a criminal record after an abusive childhood.
Ripley was on her way to a starry career, before breaking the rules of her contract by becoming pregnant. The Nostromo run was to be her final trip for WY as she wanted to look after her daughter on her return.
Dallas has authority issues.
The reports also use a lot of names from the alien production team for names of ships, companies, etc - O'Bannon, Giler, Scott etc - as well as a mention of the Tyrell Corporation!
Well worth a look, if you have the set...
