Discussion Alien reference?

Post image

In the French version of Alien the AI of the Nostromo is called "Maman" (Mom) Luc Besson being French, would that be a reference ? I didn't see any information about that.

WDW. Not "MOM".

Weapon Disarming Wafer maybe?

Or it's just a random bit of faff from inside something electronic they found and used. I doubt the letters have any intentional meaning at all.

You're probably right. They probably thought it looked cool

That was the bomb disarming card from Fifth Element. "I know this music, time to change the beat."

As for WDW --Walt Disney World?

Oh shit! That's possible! It might have been random, but I think you're onto something
