Did you spot the cyborg references in the character names? I didn’t see anyone mention it on your site, but I think it’s true… “Ash” and “Bishop” were the cyborgs in Alien and Aliens respectively (Ian Holme and Lance Henrikson). That might just be a coincidence, but they are pretty unusual names, and it would be a relevant theme. Then it occured to me that “Murphy” was the cyborg in Robocop. Still coincidence? I don’t know. Is there a famous cyborg called “Stunner”? Hmmm…
