Just thinking-out-of-the-box for the (speculative) case this would be true: what would happen to an alien after eating an android? More important: what would happen if an android is cocooned?

@jones; no, of course not; she naturally has blonde hair. But as Fassbender is an android and they have made him dye his hair a very unnatural blonde, then the fact that Dickie had her hair dyed too could suggest she is an android. Both Dickie and Fassbender have steely eyes and angular faces IMO. I think perhaps the casting team have gone for a certain look for their android/s. The fact that Theron is a natural blonde makes no difference. Besides, it's about Dickie dying her hair AND being responsible for getting the crew in ship shape. Not just the hair colour in isolation.

I think you're onto something there stefan, good post. It makes sense that this could be the explanation for her special position to be able to exercise therapy to her fellow crew members when by rights she would be wasted and languid herself after a long while in hypersleep. The blonde androids theory is intriguing. I too am curious about the Kate Dickie character, all the attention mainly being on the other actors up to now.

see this image....rather scary! http://i2.listal.com/image/1896044/600full-kate-dickie.jpg Man, maybe she's the one that'll be chasing the crew and eating them. When she was little her parents probably used to tie a pork chop around her leg just so the dog would play with her. LOL I'm just kidding, she's definitely not a hottie like Charlize or Noomi though. If she is an android I think the indication that she may not have muscular atrophy makes it more of a possibility than the dying of the hair though.

Man...her parents had to feed her with a sling shot huh? Just kidding...love ya Katie!

Weyland & the Fire-Stealers? The Perfect Organisms? In space no-one can hear you sing?

SJ and the Suits :(

Well I believe there is already a band called Xenomorph

Those Quiet 28 Minutes feat. Dickie? 2 Mouths Sing Better Than 1? The Cocooned Men?

Gods & Engineers - in fact I have already recorded a song and video called G & E as a homage to Prometheus and Alien - check it out, its not too bad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-ADSl1Sj6E&feature=related enjoy.

(alien) Queen ?

- Kane's Son - Nostromo - Ash & The Xenos - They're Animals - The Space Jockeys - jones - The Leathery Objects - Nerve Gas The Whole F***king Mess - Ripley's Believe It Or Not - Prometheus Can you imagine? "We are Prometheus! Thank you Cleveland...Good Night." Good call on the The Derelicts, @jones......and @Baldas, I like the idea, but The Perfect Organism sounds better to me...reminds me of The Perfect Circle. How would the plural of that name sound? Am I right?

"Prometheus Jonsey" ! Came up with that a while back. Here's the First Full Color Ad For The Band !!! [url=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/A1Jones-1.jpg]PrometheusJonsey[/url]

The "Derelict's"

or that romantic classic, 'is that my inner jaw in your head?"

band name, a perfect organism really good song title. nightmares in hypersleep

Well, if it's a cover band they're certainly playing: "Paranoid Android" (Radiohead) "Firestarter" (Prodigy) "Maneater" (Nelly Furtado)

I agree to most of ur statements but am cautious about the planets condition. because strangely the planet in prometheus seem.to be much brighter, having Day and night possibly. But lv 426 Looks always dark and extremely rocky Despite the terraforming by weyland-yutani.

Well it was said in Alien that LV-426 did receive sunlight: Ash - "Well MU-TH-UR say's the sun will be up in 20 minutes." And in Aliens they weren't terraforming, they were processing the atmosphere to make it breathable.

@snorkel Ok thank you. But im really wondering How all those strange rocky landscape comes from with 30 years.

Ok, so what are your thoughts on where all the eggs come from? As I believe this is a bit different to your previous comments that the derelict was a separate issue. Used as a 'bomber' etc?

Problem solved @snorkel, Ive attempted to remove my geeky post....

@CBT, I'm wondering the same thing. If the planet we see in Prometheus is also LV-426, the topography looks suitable for life, meaning terraforming (of the land) is unnecessary. Just a shot in the dark, but given the speculation that SJs can create/modify entire planets, maybe the geography of LV-426 in Alien is the result of some sort of tectonic upheaval that happens during Prometheus and is caused by SJ technology. The process could be initiated by an SJ or, inadvertently, by a Prometheus crew member.

@ JJ - no worry's, regardless the point is LV-426 got sunlight (have edited my post tho lol)

Would Space Jockey's be dumb if a Space Jockey made another Space Jockey crash?

Derelict ship in Alien is thousands, if not millions of years old and this is why: 1) Capt. Dallas wouldn't blurt an observation like that lightly re. fossilization. 2) The old boney texture of the derelict interiors is extreme, pronounced and "arthritic", opposed to the new pristine interiors of the ship in Prometheus. 3) "Bio-Mechanical"- Meaning to begin mechanical and grow or transform into something more biological that will decay (and possibly fossilize given the right conditions). 4) Any advanced civilzation that can terraform cannot "speed" the process of evolution. Influence yes, but not rush it. 5) LV-426 is the same planetoid in both films with different atmospheres. This could possibly mean millennia have passed from a terraforming project gone awry. The rock formations and dusty atmosphere in Alien is in complete contrast to that of the terrain in Prometheus. I am using logic and deduction. Any takers?

@ Galaxy Dave... It is looking like the Derelict ship in Alien has been there for 30-35 years 1. The Space Jockey was not a skeleton, therefore not a fossil, because it is a suit. Ridleys own words. Dallas was wrong - he saw a faded exo-skeletal suit and interpreted as a fossil. Please read Ridleys quote and the threads I linked to. 2. there are many theories regards this in many threads - the most prominent seems to be that the ship comes alive when the Jockey takes his seat. 3. I refer you to the answer for 2. BTW biomechanical can also mean the fusion between the biological and mechanical for beneficial gain. 4. Who said anything about speeding up the process, it all depends upon their technology, which could be highly advanced than ours. 5. i refer you to my answer for 4. in star Trek II the genesis project didn't take millenia to come into effect. @ firetothegods - how does this affect the eggs, the derelict was most likely a bomber used to deploy eggs. Ridley Scott has stated this idea many times before and since starting Prometheus and thus it is most likely in Prometheus.

Perhaps they were terraforming, the rubble in the original movie could just be the debris from the ship crashing. We never see beyond a scant few acres around the ship. If they were not that far along the process could have been reversed as it went unattended for a few decades.

well the atmosphere changes in the time span between alien and aliens because weyland yutani decides to terraform the planet and in aliens there is rain and the air is breathable its more than a coincidence that weyland yutani decided that the one planet they want to terraform happened to be the one with the space jockey ship

Hello Snorkelbottom. 1) Yes, it is a suit BUT, it's a biological one that grew into its form, and in turn can become fossilized. 2) Very interesting! Yes, I can see the ship coming alive. However, the boney walls do look ancient. 3) Regarding 4), there was reference to the Genesis project in Star Trek, which I thought made entertaining sci-fi, but the speed in which the planet comes alive was unbelievable, completely implausable and ludicrus. I can see a Genesis-like project existing, but not "Folgers Crystals Genesis" project. I realize it didn't take long for an atmosphere to form in Aliens, but there are just too many elements from what I've seen comparing Alien and Prometheus that wreaks ancient.

the suit cant be fossilized. fossilized, to become a fossil, to become a skeleton, look at ridleys words... the derelict and pilot from alien crash land in prometheus

snorky, have you read part 1 of my easter egg post?
