Robby001
That I believe is Marina-Sirtis "Deanna Troy"

What is the milky white liquid at the end that Bishop Spews up made out of?

Lighthammer
Actually No. It was Tasha Yar. Originally Goldstein was going to play Yar, but she dropped out and Sertis stepped in, and then the director decided that Crosby who was originally playing Troi was better as Yar, and Sertis as Troi, and so they changed Macha Hernandez to Tasha Yar as Crosby was now playing Yar.
The answer to your question was a milk mixture.

wow AVP really messed up the entire alien trilogy, how can there be another human bishop when theres a human bishop in alien 3 who was seen with redblood while avp claims the original bishop is from avp.

And not to mention in the alien trilogy, they did what it took to prevent the aliens from reaching earth and in avp, its like they have been there all along

Robby001
The Bishop in Alien 3 was a android same as the one in 2. You would notice when he is hit in the head that part of his face gets pealed off. The whole point of AVP was to tie in the two races and apparently it suceeds.

Umm AVP is set in past tense and the Alien movies would be far far far in the future. Besides we have yet to see the rest of the AVP movies. Something big could still happen.

Besides this is a Alien Trivia Post...
