[The Hierophant]

I assumed he was human because of the contrast he demonstrates with the android Bishop. As if David Fincher was trying to point out the greed and exploitation that 'condemns' humanity. The android Bishop was selfless and faithful to Ripley, risking his 'life' to save her from the Queen, whereas the human Bishop merely wants to use her to gain access to the alien. I thought where he says 'I'm very human', Fincher was intending him to personify all of humanity's negative qualities. And in comparison to his (and the company's) calculating exploitation, the alien's savage destructivness, yet utter devotion to its species, seems less 'evil'. Bishop becomes the 'Burke' of Alien 3.

And yeah Barry, I'm a fan of Pete Postlethwaite too [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
