I just watched Aliens for the first time. I very much like the happy ending. So what happens after they all go to sleep? Well to start with Ripley does not have good dreams. In fact she has a nightmare that they crash on a prison planet and everybody dies. This dream was so vivid that they made a whole movie out of it called "Alien 3" very original title. Anyway, after her nightmare, Ripley wakes up to find that they have arrived back home. Happily reunited with her cat, Ripley promptly gives up space travel marries Hicks and adopts Newt. She sues the company responsible for the deaths of 147 colonists and pretty much an entire military platoon. The settlement that she get includes a bunch of money and Bishop. Bishop becomes Ripley's butler and Newt's Nanny, but he soon grows bored and so he decides to put his great intelligence and bravery to use by solving crimes. Conveniently, people are murdered in interesting ways regularly in their new neighborhood which surprisingly continues to have a reputation as a safe place, so Bishop is able to be a detective while continuing as Ripley's butler. When Newt grew up, she went through a rebellious teenager phase and decided to try acid. She had a pretty bad acid trip experience in which her early childhood trauma combined with the normal issues a teenage girl has with her mom. She told some movie producers about her bad acid trip and they decided to make a 4th alien movie and call it Alien Resurrection. Being based on an acid trip this movie was understandably devoid of normal story logic.
