Glad they finally got to gendered numbers! It was the first thing I thought of when they started talking odds and evens--I've always had strong associations between the digits 1-10 and certain personalities, in some cases including gender.

in Alien Resurrection a couple xenomorphs attack a 3rd xenomorph. They rip it apart, splashing its blood all over the walls of their containment cell in order to melt it and allow them to escape. you almost feel bad for the murdered xenomorph... almost.

I love cuttlefish. The way they move is adorable. I think the best way to describe their movement style is 'puttering around'.
