On the inevitable disappointment from Neill Blomkamp doing Alien 5

There's a great article on A.V. Club here about the problem with franchises like the Alien series and the sort of disappointment that fans inevitably set up for themselves. I'll lave no comments on it other than to say that I very much agree with Jesse Hassenger's perspective on the issue, as I have lived through the hype and expectations of all the films under discussion.....and also liked Prometheus very much, despite certain flaws and plot/storytelling problems.
