I tend to agree with Mentos on the telescopic thingy. Also, we do not know whether the telescope and the ampules are in the same location (there are the temple and the ship). If the Alien Queen is canon then the human host is needed only for 1 egg. But I really like the ideas you got along the way. Premise 1: Gotta agree with you. This earlier artwork from Giger (might not be canon) depicts that eggs are borne from human/humanoid abdomen: [img]http://defectiveyeti.com/images/alien_giger_big.jpg[/img] But it might not be from females but it would be more perverted if they were. Note also that egg comes through the belly. Premise 2: Agree. The SJ seems integrated into the chair in Aliens. He needs to be getting food and have sewage from it. Premise 3: Nice analogy. If Prometheus is a kinda advanced humanoid (like the tall guy we see in trailer) then could have some abilities e.g. regenerating after each torture to suffer more the way Prometheus did in the myth. Personally I think that it would be great to look at the Prometheus myth more and see what kind of ideas people could get from there. As a sidenote. We all might be over explaining things. Kinda like George Lucas did in ep I-III. And totally ruined the myths in IV-IV. I am hopeful that Ridley Scott knows better and leaves plenty of room for the unexplained. The uncertainty adds to the creepiness. There wont be time to explain it all anyway if the plot is to be any good. Personally I like the feel that things are really far from our reach of human understanding. That underlines how insignificant player humans are in the big picture and that the whole human cinilization could be destroyed with minor effort.

I made no points, I merely related facts and comments from the horses mouth. If that is what you disagree with then I am confused.

My last post illustrated that my "theory" doesn't go against your "facts".

I never said it did (the facts not my facts), I just stated that people should stop using the term bioformer, as this phrase came from a supposed leaked script which has since been proven false, that is all. the rest of my post was aimed at everyone in general, I'll explain... Although we all have theories I think some are getting way too caught up in what they believe and expect, instead of what has been said. To put it another way some have their heads in the clouds and have persuaded themselves they know exactly what Prometheus is, when in fact, in truth all we actually know is what I included in that previous post, which was... [b]...watch the comic-con panel from summer last year where Damon whathisname said that he was asked by Ridley to take Spaihts story (which was very much an Alien prequel) and turn it into something original and separate from Alien. Spaihts story is old news. ...Prometheus is about mankinds origins and beliefs and terrifying revelations they uncover when they go looking for their creators. There is no bioformer, there is no terraforming (which was a Cameron idea btw, not Ridleys) and there is no Xenomorph/Alien. Prometheus is a film about mankinds origins and the Space Jockey, and that is the only way in which it relates to Alien. Ridley and Damon have said it a million times, when will people listen to what they are being told, not to want they want to hear.[/b]

Sorry [b]@Snork[/b] but you're not completely on the mark there. [i]"While referring to the developments of Alien Prequel Scott has frequently mentioned a focus on the subject of terraforming"[/i] [url=http://www.scriptflags.com/2011/01/ridley-scotts-prometheus-is-name-of.html]Source[/url] [i]"He rounded out the Alien prequels talk with the news that the films would indeed address some of the practicalities of outer space colonization, including the issues of terra forming, the nature of light speed, and humanity’s ability to actually leave Earth."[/i] [url=http://screenrant.com/ridley-scott-alien-prequel-details-sandy-64396/]Source[/url] Scott has mentioned terraforming several times. In fact the opening of the film is rumoured to depict Earth being terraformed to a voice over. [img]http://i509.photobucket.com/albums/s338/shardy70/PROMETHEUSDISC.png[/img] As for the bio-former I'm completely with you on that one. And as for the Biomechanoids, I personally think we'll see the origin of the creature.

Yes, I contend that the rumoured beginning of the movie may show earth being "terraformed" but the sources you link to are third party. I personally am going of the words from the horses mouth, ie Damon whathisname and Ridley himself, anything beyond that is conjecture and rumour at best.

The sources cite quotes from Scott. The second in particular summarizes his words at the [b]Hero Complex Film Festival[/b]. In reference to your third party comment, unless Sir Ridley addressed you in person, your information will have travelled through a second, third party. That doesn't discount its credibility of course, I'm just pointing out that everything we hear from Scott is passed on to the internet through a the medium of another party.

I'll reword it (sigh), if I see/hear Ridley or Damon say something then I listen 100%, but if someone quotes them or refers to them I take it with a pinch of salt, as should we all.

Can We all just agree on one thing... It looks absolutely amazing?

NO, it looks rubbish, worst thing ever, seen better things on used loo roll... LOL, as if, of course it looks absolutely, frickin amazing. Thats why we're all here.

It makes sense, and recalls the myth of Prometheus (a vulture eating the liver of Prometheus). If people are Epimetheus, where is Zeus, Pandora and her box?

Muita especulação....too much speculation...

Interesting thought and sometimes the right answers are found in the most far out thinking. Personally I think it´s too Alien-oriented, when you think about Ridley Scotts decision to move away from Xenomorph (hate that word, actually) territory and create an original story that relates to, but not necessarily focuses on, the Alien franchise. "The surprise is in the story" Scott says, and I think Prometheus will disturb us through the big picture in which the Xenomorph will play a small role. I embrace the creative thoughts in this forum though, because the open our minds to new possibilities when imagining the plot. Merely stating the facts brings us nowhere in my opinion, that´s what IMDB is for.

The map room facinates me....particularly on close examination the outer ring with orange/red/blue/green blocks or sections. Kind of reminds me of a DNA film with the black lines. Could this be the make up or composition of a life form for each particular location....

Just IMO...very imaginative theory. I don't think it's happening but that doesn't change the fact that your idea is extremely creative and I like that a lot.

Common! Snorklebottom, have some space for creative speculation !! - as for your self!.. the community has embraced you! enormously ! .. give these guys a chance to express their ideas!

Snorky is just a bit frustrated. I can understand it with the same theories over and over again. He just needs to be patient and seperate the wheat from the chaff and look for those gems in the ruff when they do come along. Yo Snorks how goes your biofomer I'll sell you some for 5 xenos, and a rapace :P

Baldas>>>>>nice post.. its a great idea, we all wont know what will happen until the movie , but its quite a inquisitive post we all might have recognize !

Rick.. Snorky is talented..... but Why are you writing on his behalf? is he god on this site! .... He may be a creatieve writer,, but give us assholes a chance to express our stupid ideas! shit this is just a movie!

Oh Why Oh Why does my Update Disappear. Only Posted that as a Place Marker

Previous Post keeps disappearing after editing. SO I copied and pasted here. IGI, I'm not writing on his behalf, and he's far from it. I've read his other posts and the comments he's made and made an observation that he is frustrated, and understand why. I even went and teased him about bioformer, but you wouldn't know that without reading the other posts he's made. So take a deep breath, count to 5 and relax. Not that it matters but I think I'm like 31st person to register on this website for talking about Prometheus. I'm one of the more level headed people on here, ask anyone that knows me. So talk away its the forums, I'm not holding your hands away from the keyboard keeping you from expressing what you want. So have at it. Regards, Rick

Next you'll be mentioning terraforming or the creation of the Xenomorph/Alien (sigh - yes Sparky this means you). Prometheus is about mankinds origins and beliefs and terrifying revelations they uncover when they go looking for their creators. There is no bioformer, there is no terraforming (which was a Cameron idea btw, not Ridleys) and there is no Xenomorph/Alien. LOOK MAN GROW UP AND STOP DOING THIS I DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN THIS THREAD IN ANY WAY I HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT TREAT YOU LIKE GOLD SUCK IT UP AND LET IT GO AND DRAGGING ME INTO THIS CHILDISH GAME OF YOURS IS NOT THE RIGHT THING TO DO AT ALL ONE OTHER THING TERRAFORMING IMO IS A MAJOR MAJOR PART OF THIS ALL AND IF YOU CANNOT SEE HOW THIS MIGHT BE THE CASE RIGHT NOW IT'S YOUR PROBLEM AND NO ONE ELSE'S AND ON THE 1 IN 1 GAZILLION CHANCE THAT TERRA FORMING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS FILM I WILL BE FIRST PERSON TO COME IN HEAR AND ADMIT THAT I WAS OFF BASE, UNTIL THEN, CONSIDER THIS I STILL SUPPORTED YOU IN ALL OF your threads WITH AN OPEN HEART AND MIND!!! AND I AM STILL WILLING TO. YOU JUST NEED TO TAKE A BREAK AND THINK THIS ALL THROUGH BECAUSE MAKING A POST TO PERSONALLY INSULT PEOPLE, ANYONE ON THIS FORUM, IS NOT THE RIGHT THING TO DO. THAT'S NOT ADHEARING TO A CODE THAT'S BREAKING THE CODE OF ETHICAL BEHAVIOUR I AM TALKING ABOUT. IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH SOMEONE'S OPINIONS SAY SO IN A POLITE WAY AND MOVE ON, NO NEED TO START A WAR !!! AND THE MOST DISGUSTING PART OF THIS IS THIS... YOU POST A PIC THAT CLEARLY SHOWS A SLIMEY WATER CREATURE AND SOLICITE OPINIONS IN IT DIRECTLY BY STATING YOU ARE SOLICITING OPINIONS ON IT I GIVE YOU MY IMPRESSION IN THE SPIRIT YOU SAY YOU INTENDED AND THEN YOU DO THIS??????????? MAN, YOU GOT ISSUES RIGHT NOW DUDE!!!

Wow!

I'm with Dr. Mindbender here.

I get the impression that he was unhappy as you had more lines in your signature than him?

LOL, not the first time I've had a run in with this person. Did you read his contradictory line on page 6?

Yeah, its bloody petty if you ask me. Wouldn't like to play him online at Gears! BTW, do you play on pc or xbox?

LOL, I play xbox, my laptop not powerful enough for todays games. I did do a period of making maps for UT3 on pc but stopped once it became obviously the player population was too low.

Same here, i'm on xbox. Shame you stopped making maps for UT3, I used to abuse that game when I had a decent pc, and Unreal gold. What kind of maps did you make?

Deathmatch, never really got chance to go any further. The three maps I was most proud of are in my sig on the forum in the original post, my personal favourite is Crash.

What do you play on xbox then?

Gears 3, SF IV, Halo's Guitar hero's, and Forza 4

LOL, Snorky needs a Job.

@snorky, add me on xbox live if ya ever fancy a battle on GH my gamertag is plinny1984

Ive been only lurking around here recently, but seeing you play Forza on Xbox, maybe we can race sometime, im azulo6000

1)Limited number (which is nearly extinct?) 2)Because she will be the catalyst in the third act, bad guy. 3)Obviously the humans or Alien wouldn't of happened.(They all die/they all get trapped on an Alien planet/they all get transformed into something horrible/they go back in time - PLEASE NOT THAT LAST ONE! - either way they're all f*cked.

1) limited size... enough to have some spaceships ... 2) i think theron's role will be more limited that what we think ..very like Ash ....a plot twist but not the main enemy . 3) i think the space jockeyss will meet a sad fate ... a tragic payoff of their twisted minds ...

1) The jockey race is limited but stable. If many then there would be nothing left for them to do. 2) Theron's character is exposed because she is the biggest name by far and will attract a certain audience meaning guaranteed revenue for Fox. She will not be pivotal because at this stage it's far to obvious. She will die a horrible death. 3) The jockeys will be most battered purely because of their limited numbers and possibly there inability to deal with disasters from within.

1. Almost extinct/Limited in number. 2. I think Theron's role will be small, but revealed to be bigger by the end. 3. Humans, in terms of the revelations and truths they'll uncover.
