Alien: Cocoon scene

leading from

Dan's Original Alien Story

a) Cocoon scene in a script 

 
At the end of the story is a missing scene which appears to be well known to the public as the cocoon scene, in which Ripley finds Captain Dallas spun into a web in the hold of the Earthship.

Brett and (at one time) Parker have also been spun into cocoons which are in the process of metamorphosing into the very same type of egg found in the pyramid, thus completing the Alien's life cycle.

b) The Dallas cocoon 

The first containing Dallas appears to be woven from some fine, white, silk-like material, and it is slowly undulating.

 

c) The Brett spore

 

Another cocoon that would have in the final film been Brett dangles from the ceiling , but this one looks a little different.

It is smaller and darker, with a harder shell. 

 

In fact, the idea is that it looks almost exactly like the spores in the tomb thus completing the Alien Life Cycle.

d) See also: "They Bite" / "Omnivore" for its use of a cocoon
