Subsequent to what I was writing last night about Dark Star there are some Dan O'Bannon correlations in this film, which largely wrote as a remake of that film (which he wrote John Carpenter and stared in)--they are rough but they are there. The computer on The Dark Star speaks in a female voice, the computer on board (via the evil corporation they work for) his called "Mother"--this is just one example of retooling. Another is eventually both ships blow apart. In the case of the creature, the alien in Dark Star, first serves as a sort of pet, and of course, on the Nostromo they have Jones the cat, which I suppose is a mouser.
