I've always thought that Alien3 was the perfect capstone to the trilogy. It doesn't get nearly the respect that it should. It brings the Ripley character full circle, and there really wasn't anywhere to go after that.

You also have to remember, that between her first encounter with the xenomorphs on LV-426/Nostromo to her death on Fiorina 161, to her only a few months at most have passed, even though they are separated by 60-some years chronologically.
