in fact, no. I have never read that book. LOL

hahahaha! that's gold! 

Passing by that scene in space would warrant a big What the actual f$%k?! 

Perez- Oh boy am I thinking termination.

Barf The Mog lol. its a true story XD

Gedimen - You're not thinking termination?

It was used in the making of Covenant book. 

Timmy - Have you read the book Everyone Poops?

@iRaptus, the dog/runner is probably the closest to the protomorph in looks and speed and agility, bar the bio-mech look that the dog runner has.

The Aliens will be the main character.

@hox

Maybe the Engineers version of the impregnated xeno doesn't have legs or maybe David removes the legs in the early stages of the Xeno's growth.

I always figured the Xeno slithered across the table like a snake.  Or maybe it moves like a slug, but just 100000x faster?  The Xeno does drool a lot, so maybe those drool glands start on its lower belly when it first bursts from the chest to allow it to move very easily across a surface, like a slug!  Then, those glands go away.  I'm sure we could figure out some realistic scientific answer to how the baby Xeno moves.  At least I hope so!

Barf The Mog I totaly agree. I just thought that alien 3 was the most diverse because a main charector was ethnic.

forgot about the nurse though.

i saw it at BigW the other day, nahhh, i am up to date now iRaptus, so i won't buy it, there is really no need to.

I don't think they eat, so i don't think that they would poop. even if they did eat, they are supposed to be the perfect orginisim meaning that they would be 100% effecient using all of the food as energy.

@I Moon Girl, yeah I love the scene too. But the practical effect is just so poor when the chestburster is whisked across the table, I can hardly bring myself to watch that part of it. Where are its legs, for gawds sake.

Do they poop?

Covenant's CGI is awful. 

Timmy - A poetic death, like Roy Batty, would be highly cliche and contrived, but then again so are all of Scott's films. 

I think the CGI could've been better in A:C.  I'm not against CGI, but it does need to be done correctly.  I do like real costumes too.  A balance of the two is probably the best route to go in present times.  I think the CGI in Alien: Resurrection is just great!  It's been awhile since I've watched the whole thing, but from my memory, it's awesome.  I love the part where the Xeno's are swimming at the people.  That part really scared me.  I remember that part as being some really great CGI.  The Alien franchise has had some great CGI, or maybe they were costumes or props, but I do think that A:C needed some help on the CGI parts.  There were maybe around a handful of those parts needing help in A:C.

@hox

I love the original chestburster scene in Alien.  Sometimes I get on the internet and just watch that clip.  The best part is that the room is dead quite and then... the creature screeches and rushes across the table!!!! Fabulous!!!  

@ MonsterZero

"Even A L I E N would be cool...I'd redo Ash's head scene and Kane's undershirt where you can clearly see the mechanical contraption he is wearing...clean up that and some other bits."

I agree on that.

@Muhamor83

"First when they land on the planet, Aliens are jumping around like some crazy monkeys."

They even sound like monkeys too.  Honestly, I loved the fact that those neomorphs acted so primitive and even sounded like monkeys.  At first viewing, I didn't like it right away, but when I allow it to really soak in and try and think what these neomorphs are thinking, I think the solution we saw in A:C is a good one.  It could've been different, but I think it wouldn't have been better or at least not by much.  Now, when I watch the movie at that, I just soak it up and love it all.  The reel of film from when Ledward is being carried by Karine until the survivors arrive to Davids "sanctuary" is just amazing.  Of course after that, the fear changes and becomes more sneaky-like instead of just all in your face. 

The blood slips are good.  I mean they just encountered an alien for the first time in history that they know of.  It's hard to pay attention when that alien is also trying to kill a fellow friend.  If anything, Faris should've let Karine out... but I love for the sake of the movie that she didn't.  It was so awesome seeing Karin's scared face in the window cursing at Faris, "FARIS, LET ME THE F^(# OUT!!!!  FARIS!!!!!" 

That whole scene from as soon as Karine is helping Ledward until the crew makes it safely to Davids "sanctuary" was just awesome and so epic.  I've watched the movie 3 times so far and each time I just loved the epicness of that reel of film.

I'd be afraid some of those extra clips would make the film as a whole kind of choppy.  If there were some filler footage, then it could work, but I don't think there is any that could.  Maybe you could find some filler footage with flashbacks made from deleted scenes?

I thought the neomorphs jumping around were very effective. Vicious, fast and unpredictable. That's exactly the kind of behaviour you need from a top predator. The adult form looked convincing to me. If Alien-style motion detectors had been used in this prequel, many many people would have complained, and justly so.

MonsterZero thats a nice idea :)

perhaps he learns to control his lust and obsessions where he failed with Shaw, to eventually save Daniels?

I have Prometheus and Covenant on Blu-ray but not the original Anthology, so time for an update for me :) 

We spoke about that shot a while back and I remembered how much you liked that Ati. That is the best capture I could get before the transition to the next frame...the topic would be lacking without it.

The Prometheus entering the valley is such a great scene.

I've always had a theory that it is a conspiracy involving/between Ripley's daughter, Weyland-Yutani and the Creators/Alien Queen Mother aka ULTRAMORPH. I've often questioned whether or not Newt even "existed", and was a hallucination of Ripley dealing with the loss of her daughter. Covenant would be treated more as an isolated incident, with a superior Xenomorph species being of direct lineage of the Creators of Humanity and the Engineers, but I digress. Essentially, the incidents in Alien, Aliens, and Alien 3 were part of a controlled experiment involving cooperation between W-Y and God-like extraterrestrials (Jockeys).

Cerulean Blue I would remove Aliens from the Alien franchise. I know this would infuriate a lot of people, but Aliens turned the xenomorph into a bug. Better no sequels than such lame one.

We're 18 years behind Alien.  I wouldn't be surprised if Alien: Awakening took place right around 18 years of Alien: Covenant, less a year possibly.  I hope Alien doesn't directly continue off of Alien: Awakening.

So, I think when we see Alien: Awakening, everybody will have been experimented on and dead.  New characters will be introduced to make physical contact with David since David sent WY that transmission.  The Covenant likely has a tracking system on it, so I don't think David would be hard to find.  Plus, the Covenant looks like a ship that is meant to fly straight and not make hard adjustments.  Basically, what I am saying is that it is an easily predicable ship.

The main character would be one of the people working for WY, besides David of course. 

Still, there is no telling.  I am just going by the fact that A:C took place 10 years of Prometheus, so I think Ridley is going that route again.  We don't need to see the experimentations and David is smart enough not to loose a colonist, which would start "mutiny" on the ship.  Plus, I don't think he is going to experiment with Xeno's on the ship since the acid could tear the ship a part.  David will probably stop at a nearby planet to experiment on.  He might go back to Planet 4 and get ready for the arriving WY people.

The next question is, will the Engineers return to Planet 4 after it has been wiped out.  If they do, they sure are taking there time.  Maybe David sends a transmission to them telling the Engineers what he has done and a few return with the knowledge of the risks they are taking on by landing on Planet 4.

So, if Ridley Scott plans Alien: Awakening like he did Alien: Covenant, then everybody will be dead and new characters will be introduced.  There is the time in the franchise for Ridley to do something like that too.  I hope he does.  That way we get a completely fresh and new story just like we got with Alien: Covenant.

Somewhere at Wayland-Yutani Corp.

Guy 1: "We need a new crew for our next space mission."

Guy 2: "Make it all Fassbender."

Everyone in the room: "DONE!"

Why not an all Fassbender cast?

I already have all the films(multiple times!)...So they'd have to sweeten the pot. 

Making of Alien:Covenant might get me to buy this.

"Death..Emotion..Revenge..all human constructs" - Walter

"David's not going to feel pain or loss. There is nothing we can do to such a being" - Daniels

"Mistakes were made in early synth development, mistakes we've overcome. They won't happen again" - Bishop

I would make him the hero. Have him find absolution. Giving his life to save someone.

The Xeno's are the 'evil stars' of the series...The star beasts.

If you ask me, one Engineer should give him a big bear hug that causes his head to explode.

I want David to kill himself.  He would kill himself because he experiences something we never thought David would experience.  That would be deep regret.  I want David to feel so sorry for the things he has done to people and in the end, kills himself.  I originally thought he would allow a facehugger to kill him, but according to A:C, the Xeno strain doesn't try to alter machinist type characters.  Even the Neomorph that attached Walter did so in self-defense.  Still, an impregnating is apparently done only with biological organisms.

All that aside, I do want David to cut his own cord and shut down forever at his own willingly hand.  That, to me, is the only death I would be happy with and it would be the most unexpected and unique death in the franchise, expect when Ripley kills herself in Alien3.  Still, David could theoretically live forever and with all of his ambitions, a suicide would be quite a page turner.

Even if David doesn't die that way, it wouldn't make the movie bad, but I think I would be most satisfied if David self-terminated.  That's unless I like other suggestions that people here come up with here or I come up with another later.  Maybe the writers for Alien: Awakening got a real good death for David.  I hope so.  I would like it if David did die and didn't return in the future Alien franchise movies that will take place after Alien: Resurrection.

TIMMY THE ULTRAMORPH - David, in my opinion, should meet his end at the hands of that for which he holds the most contempt: a human. His death should be as ignoble and anticlimactic as possible - perhaps a simple bullet wound to the chest which leaves him alive just long enough to grasp that he has been slain by a member of the species he deemed beneath him. :)

I want him to be Reprogrammed and I want his old hair.

Just erase his last 10 years memories

Ingeniero - We combine this with the huge stinky flower and we get the wall of the Alien egg as a result! :D

sherris - And I think that the holes on the Engineer cryo pods are not caused by Deacon bursts but they are the result of parasites bursting from their bodies:

The burst can be so intensive that it breaks the top of the cryo pod - similar result is the holes on the Engineer suits:

Plus, I don't claim that the LV-223 Engineers are not escaping from a Deacon in the hologram scene, but it is possible (and more probable) that they are running away from an infected and mutated fellow Engineer - similarly to the scene where the mutated Fifield attacks the crew members.

I saw that too drucea regarding the "an ancient and robust core code" and assumed this was David 8 referring to the genome or the "radical A.I." mentioned when describing what black goo is.

This is with the assumption that the mermaid's purse in the drawings is a mutated form from the mutagen applied to a local indigenous (Paradise) mermaid's purse.

I agree with Jonesy! (next movie I want three Fassbanders!) :D

But it will be probably a new crew or someone from the Covenant. Oh, Yutani! The CEO of Yutani! I want to see Yutani!

Continuity is already in shambles so why not blow the whole thing up. The severed coild wind up anywhere, could the source of the original signal. I don't care well you know after what.

I don't want him to die but I think the engineers or maybe Walter (assumed he's still alive) want him dead. Maybe tear is head off again? I bet one of the engineers will end him.

Wow, great topic, Timmy the ultramorph! I don't have a clear answer, but this is a fun topic to contemplate!

@dk

"I agree about being destroyed by his creation. I would add that he both understands this irony and fears dying just before he checks out."

Wow, I love it!

@red0guy@gmail.com

"Or even better to beheaded and to spend his restvof immortality as such."

Also love it! But, where should his fully conscious severed head wind up? For the rest of forever?

(I can't get behind your wiping out all life in the galaxy idea though, only because it would disrupt the series' continuity pretty badly.).
