- A nitpick argues the crew is insufficiently frightened by Kane's facehugger and the chain of command breaks down; Dallas improperly delegates the crisis to Ash as a science issue.
- The repeated cat nitpick asks why any pet belongs on a space mission and how its waste is managed; even favored dogs would not justify bringing a pet.
