	Bishop (android) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bishop 341-B is a fictional character from the Alien series of films, an android created by the Weyland-Yutani corporation and played by Lance Henriksen.
		The android was modelled after his creator, Weyland-Yutani robotics engineer Michael Bishop who is the "Bishop II" seen in Alien 3, as confirmed in both the Alien 3 novelization and 2003 DVD commentary for Alien Quadrilogy by Lance Henriksen.
		Bishop was a synthetic (or "artificial person", as he preferred to be called), a very advanced human-like robot assigned to the Colonial Marine vessel Sulaco.

	Sci Fi Wire -- The News Service of the Sci Fi Channel
		As the head of Weyland Industries, a precursor to the Weyland-Yutani Corp. referenced in the first Alien film, Henriksen's character is the implied inspiration for the future android Bishop, whom he portrayed in Aliens and Alien 3.
		Lance Henriksen, who plays billionaire industrialist Charles Bishop Weyland in the upcoming franchise hybrid film Alien vs. Predator, told SCI FI Wire that director Paul W.S. Anderson wrote the role specifically for him, as a nod to the previous Alien films.

	Planet AvP: Mailbag: December 05, 2004
		I have an idea for android that is either going to be stationed on the planet, waiting for the Alien eggs and the Predators to arrive, or comes along with the marines (maybe it's one of the marines) to help kill off the Predators (please read my Nov. 14th post to learn more).
		The scene could be set in a dark room, and the droid is standing there holding a flamethrower and all of a sudden, an Alien rises from behind and stabs the droid through the chest with it's tail and also impales it's tongue through the droid's head.
		Seeing as how the Bishop android is modeled after Weyland, the immediate visual of the actor playing Yutani in my mind would be...Ian Holm.

	Henriksen balances life as a human and android
		He played the helpful androids named Bishop in the futuristic thrillers ''Aliens'' and ''Alien 3,'' but he plays a present-day, flesh-and-blood human in the new ''Alien vs. Predator'' movie.
		His character's last name also relates back to the ''Alien'' universe, which began with the 1979 movie starring Sigourney Weaver as the last survivor of the starship Nostromo, battling the spiney, acid-dripping, human-gobbling, extremely unfriendly extraterrestrial pests.
		You can guess that the ''something under the ice'' has a lot of teeth and is very hungry.

	08/13/04: Ummm! Yes it does.
		So, the human Bishop's appearance as a founder and agent of the company in AVP and Alien 3 is puzzling.
		In a bid to save this last remaining Alien, Weyland-Yutani sends Charles Bishop Weyland to secure an unborn alien queen embyro, but it is destroyed.
		A side note, Bishop like Ash was designed and manufactured at Cyberdine Systems which was not a subsidiary of Weyland- Yutani(the company).

	Bishop (android)
		Bishop is a fictional character from the Alien series of films.
		The film Alien Vs. Predator, a separate film series with tenuous relation to the Alien mythos, names Charles 'Bishop' Weyland as the android's creator and Michael Bishop as merely an android of the same model.
		Bishop was an android created in the 22nd century by the Weyland-Yutani corporation, in the image of 21st century pioneer of robotics Michael Bishop, a Weyland-Yutani employee.

	Weyland-Yutani - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, in the novelization of AlienÂ³ (released before Alien Vs. Predator), it is made clear that the Bishop android was created by a Weyland-Yutani employee named Michael Bishop, which the Alien Vs. Predator filmmakers either chose to ignore or didn't consider Canon.
		He is played by Lance Henriksen, the actor that played the android Bishop in Aliens and AlienÂ³, suggesting that the android was modelled after him.
		In Alien vs. Predator, the founder of this company (then known as Weyland Industries) is shown to be Charles Bishop Weyland.

	Rotten Tomatoes Forums - Best 'Alien' movie...
		So there is no way that Bishop could be created in the image of Weyland when they have already established that he was created in the image of an engineer who was alive during the timeframe of Aliens and Alien 3.
		There was a Bishop in the movie Alien and a Bishop in the movie Aliens.
		Lance Henriksen, the actor who played the android Bishop in the Alien movies will play a billionaire named Weyland in the movie.

	"Alien vs. Predator" DVD Review by Kevin Carr - 7M Pictures
		Charles Bishop Weyland (Lance Henriksen), the head of the company and the obvious template for the Bishop android, gathers an exhibition team to study the source of the heat signature, an underground pyramid.
		In this film, the modern-day Weyland Industries (later referred to as “The Company” in the earlier Alien movies) detects a mysterious heat signature under the ice in Antarctica.
		I like both movie series, and I had been waiting anxiously for an “Alien vs. Predator” movie since that Alien skull showed up on the Predator’s mantle in “Predator 2.”

	BETTY, THE The ship that docked with the AURIGA to deliver stolen CRYOTUBEs containing new hosts for the QUEEN removed from the eighth clone of RIPLEY
		In the original cut of ALIEN 3, Michael BISHOP and RIPLEY talked and bargained a lot longer in the lead works, and RIPLEY was just about to agree to his terms and let him have the QUEEN when she fell into the lead.
		BISHOP was to return in ALIEN: RESURRECTION, but Lance Henriksen dropped out of the cast in early 1997.
		BISHOP was the APC driver when the crew descended to the planet surface.

	Alien and Predator series timeline - Alien Vs Predator 2
		Actually, I've heard on the IMDB board (fans of the Alien series) that the man who made the Bishop android model is called Michael Bishop, and he's the one in Alien3, as well, he is a human not an android because you could see him bleed red blood not white.
		Therefore, Charles Bishop and Michael isn't the same person (people believe that this is another screwup by Anderson, while others believe that Charles could be Michael's ancestor).
		Then why is Bishops birthdate set at 2127 (May 5)?

		As Bishop II attempts to persuade Ripley to join him-subjecting herself to surgery to remove the Alien inside her-Golic mutters about his dislike for droids.
		In fact, Bishop's role as possible pre-programmed saboteur would have been ideal for Data (one scene with Bishop in Gibson's screenplay is remarkably similar to Data's takeover of the Enterprise in the episode "Brothers").
		The return of Bishop also provides the reader with another familiar characters, which is fortunate as all of the other characters, whether they be members of The Company or the UPP, are utterly interchangeable.

	Rotten Tomatoes Forums - There's Still Hope!
		Maybe the Bishop character who appears in Alien 3 is just a clone, but I didn't make the movie, so who knows.
		Henriksen has already appeared as the human creator of the Bishop android in Alien 3.
		Why it took 200 years to make her is anyone's guess, given this is a future advanced enough for space travel and realistic-looking androids.

	Monstamorgue's Horror Movie Reviews!
		In AVP the character of Charles Bishop Weyland (Lance Henriksen) is the billionaire owner of the Weyland Company which will eventually become Weyland Yutani the “evil” corporation from the Alien franchise.
		This still does not conflict with Weyland-bishop continuity because at one point in Alien3 Michael Bishop is struck from behind tearing away one of his ears which can be seen hanging oddly from the side of his head revealing that he is in fact an android sent to deceive Ripley.
		The “Bishop” part of the name is of course a reference to the Bishop Android character from Aliens (also Lance Henriksen).

		When Charles Bishop Weyland is sitting in his office on the ship, we can very briefly see him playing with his pen in a similar manner to the way the android Bishop (also played by Lance Henriksen) is playing with a knife in Aliens (1986).
		Weyland's satellite is shot in a way that it resembles the frontal section of the Sulaco ship, from Aliens.
		The altars where victims were placed in the Chamber of Sacrifices of the pyramid is arranged exactly the same as the hibernation pods in the original Alien (1979) movie.

		Michael Bishop in Alien3 was just someone sent by the company not the company's creator, so how could he have connections with Charles Bishop even if they share the same last name?
		Charles Bishop weyland was the founder and creator of weyland industries.
		And if you took the time to read the alien vs predator novel you'd understand that the gestation period was increased due to the chemical hormones that were induced into the queen on her rise from her slumber.

	Corrections from Kirill Ostapenko
		AVP contradicts the continuity of the previous "Alien" films by having Lance Henriksen appear as "Charles Bishop Weyland".
		Lance Henriksen has already played the human creator of the Bishop android (Bishop II) in Alien 3, which is set several hundred years in the future.
		Bishop II is undeniably human - 1) He bleeds red blood when struck in the head.

	Alien vs. Predator (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Alien³ we are introduced to a character credited as "Bishop II", who claims that he is a designer for Weyland Yutani and that the Bishop android (seen primarily in Aliens) was created in his image.
		Dismembered human skeletons and the fossilized remains of unknown aliens that appear to have violently burst out of the humans' chests are found in a sacrificial chamber, while hieroglyphs inside the structure seem to indicate that the events are all part of an ancient ritual.

		Bishop 341-B is a fictional character from the Alien series of films, an android created by the Weyland-Yutani corporation.
		Ripley was immediately suspicious of Bishop, even though he reassured her that with his behavioural inhibitors it was impossible for him to harm, or by omission of action allow to be harmed, a human being (a reference to the first of the Three Laws of Robotics, as coined by Isaac Asimov).
