Not to beat a dead horse here- but I keep going back to the "Alien DNA" remark Scott keeps making. Maybe the facehugger is the star of the whole thing- but simply the delivery vehicle for making copies of whatever the SJs make up previously. It would blow all the other alien spin-offs up as far as canon, but Scott hates them anyway. It won't surprise me for him to do something that really takes away from all the movies that came after his. The facehugger has always been used as part of the zeno life cycle, but this appears to be going in a totally different direction. Damn the trailer! Now I'm gonna be speculating for the next 6 months!

I'm under the beleif that facehuggers are infant space jockeys and kill an elder engineer / jockey in order to grow to maturity. Accidently growing inside a human creates the xeno, but not until near the end of the film .......................... I think the rest of the film will be based on humans discovering and then trying to steal the secrets of the jockey's, who turn out to be quite nasty.....................

Not at all, but it puts a certain spin on the entire venture. Weyland's expenditure to send Prometheus out there would have been crippling if it didn't pay off. The legalities of paying settlements to the bereaved as well as the total loss of any return would also tend to put a damper on corporate stocks. If Weyland was forced to reposition themselves in order to covertly investigate the Zeta Reticuli system, and see what happened to their expediton why did they wait three decades? It may have been in the outer rim but apparently it was along the route between Thedus and Sol.

I see what your saying, however, any scientific expedition to an unknown region of space would come with inherent risks. Risks that would be assessed by the company and insured against. A total loss of all equipment and crew could be acceptable when the potential for scientific discovery is so high and possibly profitable. Why the company would wait three decades to finally collect a specimen might just be a matter of waiting for the right combination of elements to come together. The right ship crewed by expendable employees who follow orders while remaining relatively ignorant to the dangers before them. Then having that ship pass by system at the right time to warrant a detour to "investigate" an alien transmission. you also have to consider that Kane's orders were to bring back a lifeform meaning the company knew what was there. W-Y waited so long so they could retrieve a specimen covertly. They just never considered one of the crew would blow everything to hell. Damn you Ripley.

Thats one of the significant questions for me. If WY are after something why wait 30 years. Considering Ash new everything why the caution. Why not just go and get it? I bet this wont be answered here. A second prequel will be needed.

I think is better to not link to other forums , if not for news ... otherwise you disperse our community .... that was until now safe and quite relaxed . regarding your assumption yes we already saw too many "mutated" people but is hard to say the dimension of that person inside ...can be even shaw . i think that with the full res trailer we will see better

@ Frantz - Many of us all have already posted links to other forums (the stills from the first and second look pre-trailers from AVP Spectrum). Next, I guarantee that many of us are also members of other forums, thus trying to accuse me of dispersing our community is ludicrous. IMO this forum is the most mature and intelligent of the others I am a member of. Next, you completely missed the point of the link that I posted - it was not regards the possibility of mutants. Look at Engineer1's post containing the three images that clearly show that the star map room and the room with the Space Jockey's chair are one and the same. Finally, I have never said anything untoward in your direction Frantz, yet I have noticed that whenever you comment on anything I, or others, post your comments are belittling and obnoxious. I have ignored this until now, but quite frankly I'd like to know what your problem with me and others within this forums community is, no-one else here has a problem with me (Tec-B and I have kissed and made up), but yet you seem to have a problem with me and almost everyone else - WHY?

maybe your answer explain while i will not like that our forum will become like the others ? Like someone else have said this forum is a safe port for who want to talk relaxed ...maybe if i sometimes pointed in your direction is because , like you confirm with your answer , you had an attitude more like "the other forums". But of course i can be wrong , lets not things to heat up ..i can be wrong regarding you and you regarding me ( maybe avoid that "you against us" huh ? )

As I stated this forum is mature and intelligent, and yes I agree relaxed, the other two dealing with Aliens and such I find one to be ignorant, and the other to be childish. And another that I have been a member of for nearly 4 years (game orientated) is split between childish and mature depending upon the section you post in. I have never come across as either childish nor ignorant, thus my attitude does not reflect those forums. I am a mature fan of the collective franchise and regard both Giger and Trent Reznor as my creative inspirations. Regardless, and in the nature of this forum I accept your gesture of peace, just do not presume to assume a persons nature because they linked to another forum. If so that makes BugHunter a baby in diapers (no offence BugHunter). The link I referred to is valid, and I pointed to it because Engineer1 deserves the credit for noticing it. Also I think it is of interest to us all, as it seems to hint that the directions given in the star-map room are found within a Space Jockey ship.

ok thing closed for me ..maybe next time upload the images here so people can see them immediately and we can more easily discuss about them here ( with imegeshack it take 2 seconds )

Dont trust imageshack, as bad as filefront, I use photobucket.

Check first post

works fine for me, what browser are you using Frantz?

yes now is perfect

Nice find Snorklebottom! Yeah a higher res may show more details in that frame, but it does appear that the map room and pilot seat are in the same chamber or at least an identical room. Anyone else happen to see that one frame where it looks as if Shaw is being held down by several other crew members in distress? Looked very reminiscent of Kane's final scene in Alien. I just went back to the home page to view the trailer again to see what the time stamp was on that scene, but it appears FOX has already killed that link now. :(

I believe that is how the "creature" or "jockey" guides the ship like a navigation system...like a HUDS display in aircraft...maybe this scene is important to the climax where we see the ship crashing...

and the creepy bald guy...the "others"....Hmmmm....this just gets better and better by the minute...

It just raises more questions. Were humans to blame all along for the entire sequence of events that resulted in this franchise? Was the Space Jockey a human that got tangled in this xenomorphic web even earlier than the crew of Prometheus? Did their employers send a lone explorer out to investigate even earlier and this is what he returned with? Obviously biomechanical technology is a veritable pandora's box of possibilities. The rabbit hole just keeps getting deeper and I took the RED pill a long time ago. We'll just consider this a free fall of discovery.

I'm beginning to think time travel again. Here is a map room for planning trips or plotting invasions or infestations. In order to do such things and monitor their development you would have to be about to manipulate time.

Although time travel is a science fiction stable, I would lose all interest in Prometheus if time travel was involved.

I agree it would be difficult to pull if off and retain some credibility but it is a very topical subject right now.

As I've indicated elsewhere - the observations are marvellous. Particularly the giant bald guy. So he's our jockey, fair enough to presume. Cue ; "God made Man in His own image"allegory.... I still think there's going to be an introduction of more than one creature - probably through the mutation process. I don't think they'll have played all their cards with still 6 months to go before release. I'm thinking I'll watch the trailer tomorrow - then switch off for a bit. I'm not sure I want to know anymore...but the journalist within keeps calling.... lol

I reckon that's a major breakthrough for us nerds. The jockey is a humanoid who as Snork has said laid the foundations for the human race (Or maybe his old man did). It is an advanced form of us what we may become in time. But we want his secrets to mankind and eternal life and inadvertently start a war.

Like a lot of us here (I think) I really hope that Mr SpaceJockey is not human not even 1%. If they did that I would hate Lindelof forever, and would be disappointed in Ridley a lot. But I trust them for now.

Obviously, you haven't called yourself miser for nothing! heheheh.

HAHA That's awesome!

well you did pay it :( .... the entrance for the theatre ... you had the right to steal almost one for each of us .... i bet everyone there was to see the prometheus trailer :D

Now that's a Fan !!! You hearing us Ridley?

@ Sparky U think Ridley actually comes here and scrutinizes our posts ....can u imagine....i'd be so honered...lol....well if I was him ....then I would...then I would see something that revealed the plot too closely and i would decide to throw a spanner into the works....just say something somewhere in an interview...not something untrue...just a little detail that would confuse the shit out of everybody....I would not even be surprised if he was an active member of these forums...we all speak under nicks....so none of us would know??? But i am sure he is a busy man....still?

Whose to say... Kevin Smith (Silent Bob) is an avid forum reader and poster, so its possible, unlikely but possible.

Ya never know...LOL...but when I wrote that I did not truly expect such a thing, was just trying to lighten the mood and highlight how cool it is and I would be happy to represent any such defendant in a court of law even though I am not a lawyer, I just think Biomechanic was speaking for me as well when he voiced his admiration for the "Kahunahs" it took of Miser to do what he did !!! I have always felt when it came to hyped up movie poster art..."It's Open Season" !!! also, when ya think about it , after reading this post Miser made, the title he chose is hysterical.... Great Job Miser !!! LMFAO

....in the unlikely event that U Sir Ridley are in fact lurking around on these forums.....show yourself.....!....nah never mind?.....how shall we ever know....tho that would be an interesting question to pose to the director himself.....do u ever read anything in the forums?....are u ever even vaguely interested in what the fans are anticipating or what we want?.....or do u simply cater to your own ideas and artistic vision....nothing wrong with that?!.... But would'nt it be great if we got Ridley himself to do an interview...just tell us what we bound to expect whilst at the same time not revealing the true nature of the plot? Maybe it is pointless to even post this .....what's the chances.....but all ideas starts with a little bit of suggestion!

You got me, right. Ridley Scott here... lol, as if.

@ Snorkelbottom OMG!....i knew it all along....it's U!!!...lol

Miser, post a picture. I am wondering was it in a frame, tacked to a wall, or one of those easel things?

It was stapled to the wall. It incurred slight damage during the heist but nothing a good frame wont make better. I'll post a pic later today.

ON a side note, The Girl remake was actually pretty damned good.

I Look forward to seeing that pic bro.

I can't see Ridley going for this ......... but it does look creepy and bald

I will go on record as saying if anything in this film even remotely resembles those damned greys, I will walk right the f**k out, punch the first person I see and never watch it again. Fer realz.................
