I wish to see a ranked list of your 5-10 favorite supporting (Non-Ripley) characters across the Alien movies

Multiple characters in Prometheus would be their own ranking.. my favorites are David, Shaw, Janek, and Meredith Vickers (WHAT a name; you get her whole character with that one huh)

Bishop in Aliens- offered them cornbread and then died. Like Jesus.

Parker in Alien- self-explanatory. No one needs justify Parker being their third favorite Alien character it's a given

Call in Alien Resurrection- suffers and is dying from Joss Whedon dialogue* but I like her so much; intentionally delightful while still being interesting which is hard to pull off

Charles Dance Clemens in Alien^3- I genuinely like him and he exemplifies the best thing about (most of) these movies, i.e. 'we will show you the world's stupidest bullshit and hire Shakespearean actors to do it'

Kane in Alien- RIP!

Ash in Alien- ^_^

Gediman in Alien: Resurrection- played by Brad Dourif at his most Brad Dourif and thus immune to Whedon dialogue; such a funny and great concept for a character

Burke in Aliens- you know I love the slimy 'suit' in action movies

Andy in Alien: Romulus- I'm sorry they did All That to him but plot-wise an excellent addition to the team

*I actually like a lot of the characters in 4 but they are similarly afflicted and did not make it to this list unscathed
