 *Stellar is meant to be a stand-in for Newt, the little girl from ''Aliens'', right? But, Newt never wore a dress in ''Aliens'', let alone one that's so impractical it shows Stellar's knickers when she crawls under a table in the cafe during the zombie attack.
+:: She's a stand-in for Newt in a narrative sense, not necessarily a carbon character copy; that is, she basically fills the same narrative purpose (a cute little girl in a dangerous adventure). Since ''Aliens'' also does not take place in an intergalactic supermarket and the Xenomorph didn't turn out to be a child-loving cyborg with a glowing crystal in its head, we can simply assume that some things were changed in translation.
 * Why is Mel hell-bent on convincing Ace not to join forces with Kane when she has absolutely no idea who he is or what his motives are?
+:: Because you don't have to look very hard at Kane to realise that whoever he is and whatever his motives are, he is clearly not a particularly benign or trustworthy individual. Especially since he orders Mel turned into a zombie halfway through his job pitch to Ace, which is hardly something that a particularly nice person offering someone a job in a position which is totally above board and legitimate would do.
