3. Angel, Aliens & Firefly - Just Who Is Behind Weyland-Yutani?
You'll have heard the name Weyland-Yutani Industries many times. On modern day earth they were represented by evil law firm Wolfram & Hart, the enemy Angel faced for five seasons. On a side note, they also represented Yoyodyne, which popped up in both The John Larroquette Show and Star Trek: The Next Generation. In the Alien franchise Weyland-Yutani was simply known as 'the company', colonising other worlds. More insidiously, they had a shadowy remit to obtain and study the terrifying Xenomorphs.
