I am a huge fan of the franchise and I like where its going...  It feels incomplete so far but that's because they have at least 1-2 more movies planned before tieing it back into ALIEN.

It has done nothing to change the original Alien timeline.   It does explain how ripley almost wiped them out and why the aliens aren't really as wide spread as we thought.


It does kill the AvP mythology that the predators have been hunting aliens for 1000s of years...  but the AvP universe isn't the same as the Alien or Predator universes.

Spoliers:

Alien Covenant happens 14 years before Alien. Somehow an Engineer ship (with the eggs David created) has to show up on LV-426 and have long enough to become fossilized. The timeline makes no sense. I've heard some theories that David was merely following blueprints left by the Engineers when making the Aliens, and that would make more sense. Hopefully the next movie brings it together better, but that's what I was hoping after Prometheus, so my hopes are significantly less.
