Giger drawing & concepts are difficult to translate in the literal way. His bio-mechanic images are supposed to be a poetic nightmare. When Ridley chose this Space Jockey design he meant it, I think, NOT as a rational design. He meant it to be incomprehensible, undefinable by science, "Unknown" as Dallas put it, full stop.

His [url=http://www.museumsyndicate.com/item.php?item=20287]Alien Hieroglyphics[/url] piece backs up two things we've gathered from Prometheus -- the jockey bodies being "suits", and the love affair these things have with the eggs. Are they a careless race? We've only seen the jockey "suit" twice and in both cases there's been evidence of a facehugger or similar creature in the area. Do they use them on each other? Bunch of sickos the lot of 'em...

I googled for their website and they have only two sub links: Babes and Sports. If they drop the sports I will fave them.

A avp website has this same info along with her character helps crew train after 5 year hyper sleep.

it sound a bit like a joke of the journalist ...what say the rest of the interview ?

the article is bullshit ..they got random infos from the supposed leaked script ( skeletal creatures ,...character named mudow ) and they did add some random dickie quotes ... her character name is Imora ...she cant be wrong on her character name in an interview and really is not even an interview ...there is only a quote "" . Is not possible that a character die after 28 minutes from the start in a movie of 3 hours !! We saw her in the temple ...that take more than 28 minutes ...must be a not very reliable tabloid !

It's got to be from the fake synopsis a while back - 'skeletal creatures', and 'halls of Prometheus'. Bullshit

Hi, check the probable "destiny" of her character Mudow.... PROMETHEUS LEAKED PLOT [URL]http://alienfactsandfiction.blogspot.com/2012/01/prometheus-leaked-plot.html[/URL]

is a fake plot alejandro ! :)

@Franz Shame on me Franz!, thanks for the warning. I almost believed it was the definitive plot. I will remove the post from the blog or at least leave it private. Thank you.

It will be interesting how Ridley would shoot this scene though, if this plot is real. Ridley has a talent for shooting something shocking and making it aesthetically ...uhm, correct.

@Eng101 When you appreciate some artistic work (music, painting or movie) such beauty would mask its crude message: [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/48/El_Tres_de_Mayo%2C_by_Francisco_de_Goya%2C_from_Prado_in_Google_Earth.jpg/778px-El_Tres_de_Mayo%2C_by_Francisco_de_Goya%2C_from_Prado_in_Google_Earth.jpg[/img]

Yeah the name is different than Imdb has listed

Thanks Cervantes for your kind comments, I am glad that you enjoyed the story as much as you did. BTW, you said you wanted to print it out, why not head [url=http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=41600.0]HERE[/url] and download it in DOC format. @ Spartacus, we are cool bro. BTW I loved the picture you posted on the last page so much I posted it on facebook, the cats face is so hilarious man. Would love to know your opinions Sparky you have eagerly awaited each and every installment, so I'm hoping you liked it. Everyone else? Do you like this story, did anyone spot the hidden gems I stashed away in there. BTW. I also have some ideas for Predator 4/Predators 2, but I don't know how many of you are Predator fans or if you'd be interested.

im more interested in how you would have managed a sequel to Aliens .

@ Frantz - Thats easy Alien 3, just needs to be recut with David Fincher, but if you mean as an alternative take, I would have to think about that one.

"SNORKY", I AM TYPING THIS IN CAPS TO BE EMPHATIC BUT I AM NOT SWEARING AT ALL...JUST TAKING A CREATIVE LIBERTY HERE.... THANK YOU BRO... HERE IS WHAT I THOUGHT. I LOVED THE ENTIRE STORY BUT THERE WAS ONE THING I WANTED WHICH MATTERS NOT. IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH MENTIONING TO YOU. ALL THE SAME THE ENTIRE TIME I WAS READING YOUR STORY I WANTED FOR ONLY ONE THING IN IT. I GUESSED WHERE YOU WERE GOING WITH ALL THIS AT THE BEGINNING AS I AM SURE YOU ALREADY KNEW FROM MY LITTLE 5 WORD COMMENT "SHE'S BECOMING ONE OF THEM". BUT WHAT YOU "PROLLY" DID NOT KNOW IS THAT AT THE MOMENT I SAID IT I REALIZED MYSELF THAT THE REAL HERO OF YOUR STORY WAS "JOHNER", AND I WANTED HIM TO LIVE !!! IT WAS YET ANOTHER BRILLIANT THIN YOU DID KILLING THEM BOTH OFF, BECAUSE IN FICTION AND FAR TOO OFTEN THE GOOD GUYS WIN BUT IN LIFE AND FAR TOO OFTEN THE GOOD GUYS LOSE AND THE BAD GUYS WIN... IT IS IN THIS REGARD THAT YOUR STORY WORKS SO DAMN WELL, BECAUSE YOU DID NOT GIVE INTO THE SAME OLD CLICHEES NOR ANY DESIRE TO SERVE UP A PHONEY SNOW WHITE INSPIRED ENDING, THE BAD THINGS WIN, PLAIN AND SIMPLE....AND THIS FOR ME MADE IT A MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE READ. I LOVED WHAT YOU DO WITH THE CHARACTERS OF BOTH VRIEES AND JOHNER BUT JOHNER FOR ME WAS THE STORYS HERO AND KILLING HIM OFF AS HE ATTEMPTS TO PROTECT SOMETHING WE SUSPECT DEEP DOWN INSIDE HE KNOWS ISN'T QUITE 100% RIGHT WAS INGENIUS AND QUITE ENTERTAINING EVEN THOUGH THE READER {ME} WANTED HIM TO SURVIVE!!! BLOW ME AWAY AND CALL ME NANCY !!! I LOVED IT! THANK YOU!

You sparky are more than welcome, I have been a fan of Ron's since he played Vincent so I may have biasedly made him more of a hero than intended, but I am glad you liked it. the question is, which no-one seems to have answered yet, did anyone spot the hidden gems I stashed away in there - untied loose ends, unexplained references etc.

I must have missed some in haste as I read though each passage rather quickly but now that you mention it I am going to read this all through once again when I am good and ineibriated and able to take my time over this weekend and try to find them, I will report back!!!! fun fun fun !!!

Coming back for seconds eh sparks, try the link I posted higher up on this page for a download of the entire story. Can you find all the easter eggs, we will see.

I'm all over it bro, & TX for the "Head's Up" !!! I'm flat out addicted... [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/nina_crack_whore.jpg[/img]

and I can't figure out how to grab the whole thing where is the attachment? Disclaimer: It's friday and your dealing with a crackwhore over here! LMAO {Im such a bonehead, I can't figure it out or am giving up too soon out of impatience}

You just click... [u]Alien 5 proposal[/u] ...after the paperclip on the bottom of the page and then save it to pc/laptop like any download. You may have to register with the site, but it only takes 2 minutes.

thanks man!

If an organism can stay alive in the vacuum of space, or an egg can support its host (facegugger) for the millenia that it takes to fossilize a sj into its chair, then anything is possible. Of all the images I was able to find of the chestburster the 3 main head types appear to be the Predalien, the Queen, and a domed carapace one. I was unable to find a ridged carapace chestburster. Granted my knowledge is not as extensive as some here, but if there are only domed headed chestbursters then it is logical that the ridged carapace is formed during growth of the Alien into adulthood. We know it sheds its skin so during this period it changes its appearance (however minute) to adapt to its environment. A pretty nifty trait for the "perfect organism"

Assumingly the chestburster in Aliens that comes out of the colonist cocooned in the hive would be a ridged carapace alien chestburster.

Hard to say, the only pic I could find was a frontal view, and from that angle it did not look like it had any ridges on its head. [url=http://aliensandpredators.tumblr.com/post/598818720/chestburster-aliens-this-was-important-to-show]Your text to link here...[/url] If not, then my theory is that it comes out with a domed head and the ridges form as it grows to adulthood.

The explanation is: Artistic license. Nothing more. Nothing less. W/e we come up with now to try to link the different looks of the aliens through the sequels is just fan-fic. Fun to do, but it had nothing to do with the concept designers original intent.

@ draekus - I know full well why the ridged carapace appeared in Aliens. James Cameron thought it looked better, would create interesting lighting, help the creature blend into its surroundings better and proved more practical when filming. When asked in an interview what the story reason was to the difference he just said "...Maybe the dome falls off..." Artistic licence had nothing to with. The point of this thread is to try and "imagine" a logical and plausible reason for the difference. @ Rakkasan - there are better images in the documentries of the chestburster i think.

@Snorkelbottom I get it. I wasn't trying to rain on your parade. I know the Cameron interview you are talking about. But quote "[i]James Cameron thought it looked better, would create interesting lighting, help the creature blend into its surroundings better and proved more practical when filming.[/i]" = pretty much means "Artistic License". (He did it cause he thought it would look better/ was easier to film.) While I have no way to prove it, I believe when he said "[i]Maybe the dome falls off[/i]"...was just his attempt to explain a decision he made based only on his artistic license. (IMO he didn't have to explain himself...after all he had the "license" to do it.) Still i understand its fun to theorize and link the different looks. by all means continue...

@ draekus Whoa man buzz kill. I thought Snorkelbottom started a really thought provoking thread here. Of course we all know what the reason is in reality, but we are delving into the world of imagination here. Afterall the Alien it self is not real...we hope. @ Snorkelbottom I do not have the documentaries so if you can produce a chestburster with a ridged carapace image then I will cede the point. If not I will stand by my theory. Interesting to note though that Cameron nearly fit my theory with his comment that the dome fell off... to blend into its surroundings. The only difference was I said the ridges grew as it matured.

if its interesting its not boring and he is entittled to post all the times he wants its a free world!

in a free world your freedoom end when mine start ...if i open a thread every hour i damage the others right to have an interesting and clear forum . In a free world you CANT do whatever you want , but you have to respect the others too ,

All your comments are welcome, both good or bad. I would receive any suggetions to post properly on this forum, (prudent intervals of time, appropiate subjects and redation, etc).

@ Frantz How does opening a thread every hour damage my right to have an interesting and clear forum? Unless you force me to read your thread. If not then I have the freedom not to read it and continue on to another thread. The only way in a free world that my freedom would end when yours starts is if you are trying to impose your will over mine. You have the freedom not to read this thread, but if you impose your will to have the thread removed you have taken away Alejandro's freedom.

im not a moderator and they should handle this better ...but he posted a thing ..no one replied ...he posted another time ...so i replied because i thought it was KIND to do it ...another replied too ...he DIDNT answer our GENTLE posts and insted he did open another THREAD ...and then another ... I was the "kind one" giving him some satisfaction ( go to check yourself ) but he was not interested he did just wanted visibility so he kept opening threads . Thats why is said what i said . I always try to give a reply to everyone because is sad to post something and no one care about you ...but he was not interested in discussing with us ...he was spamming .

[quote]interesting but pretty boring and also irrelevant for the plot or whatever else[/quote] That's your definition of kind? Actually your response was wrong because this is an Alien Discussion forum and not a Prometheus forum so it is relevant to an Alien plot. What really got me though was your warped sense of what freedom is. In what world do you live where anyone should not be able to post a thread here? Not matter how annoying you might think it is, that is just your opinion. I followed the links and found some of the material very interesting.

He was just saying that if everyone posts the same stuff over and over again just to get attention then the site becomes repetitive and boring making it less enjoyable for the rest of us. English is not his native tongue and sometimes when he expresses himself it comes off harsher than intended. I also think people need to be more thoughtful before starting a new topic.

I completely agree. All the way up to the point where you (plural not singular) try to stifle the posts you don't like or find annoying. A boring thread will take care of itself with lack of replies.

rakkasan i was not meaning my reply here ...but the one in his other posts ..i was the only one here ( along with engr101 ) to have replied to him that was my reply """we dont know the geopolitical alliances in that far future :) an alliance between USA and EUROPE ( maybe with russia ) can control the world economy for centuries ...but i prefer to think that everyone will live happy ,fishing and not caring about "economical power" ..everyone fishing and the Weyland getting fun making space expeditions :p""" and ENGR101 did reply in a very deep way too and he kept posting the same thing again and again ..whats the matter ?? no law = jungle law .
