I know there have been discussions before trying to understand the aliens series. I stumbled across this video that connects the timeline between Aliens and Predator and draws in Blade Runner as well. I thought it was interesting as I had never imagined to put all these events together in a timeline. I have to admit, I haven't even seen all the movies in this series, but i might have to begin a collection and binge the whole thing. I included the youtbe video in case you would like the video to go alongside the information.
