Not that I feel a burning need to defend a pair of movies I consider an abomination on all things creative about their source movies, but point 1 is only true if you ignore Ridley Scott's interviews on the subject and the cocoon scene he restored to the director's cut. Having seen the original in the theater and reading all the Starlogs and Fantastic Films that came out during that time, my friends and I were quite surprised and perplexed when Cameron decided to introduce a queen.

Anyway, if you're making the already tremendous jump to consider these two movies part of the same continuity as the original series, it's a much, much smaller step to say they can do both... kinda like the various beasties on our planet than can change sex when their aren't enough of one or the other.

If anything, the writer was going back to the original source material.
