Space Jockey Anatomy

I didnt like the addition of the idea that an incubating alien takes on some of the charecteristics of its host as in 'Alien 3' . Will ridley even acknowledge the alien queen idea introduced by Cameron (which i did like) and weave that into the story, we just dont know. I think he'll stay clear of any of any of that stuff. The Jockeys body in alien had a mouth and teeth, wouldn't these be unusual if it is a 'suit' in the traditional sense. Can anyone link me up to the script leaks

Its great to see many imaginations coming up with ideas about the Space Jockey. To think of an idea for your answer EXCESSION. I understand what your saying and thought that myself. How could this be a suit? But am sure if it is a suit, the human most MORPH into the space jockey. Although the Jockey is a extremely larger in size compared to a human being so not sure how that is going to work ha. If it does i hope its a great story behind it.

@Biomechanic-I think you're onto something about those screen caps we've seen. It appears that one of the crew members, possibly Shaw brings back an egg/urn with them on board. From the two screen shots of what looks to be the infirmary, they appear to be monitoring/examining the item that was brought back. Maybe this is used against the Space Jockeys near the end of the film. It's certainly a possibility. I have to say I'm really surprised that more people on here aren't discussing the images that were posted a couple weeks ago. I think they leave a lot to the imagination and plenty room for discussion about the movie itself. I'm not as concerned as some of the others on here with Ridley trying to explain what happened to the lone Space Jockey seen in the first Alien as I am with seeing new Space Jockey characters and their interaction with the crew of the Prometheus. I think based on what we'll see in Prometheus, we'll be able to infer what happened to that particular Space Jockey but don't need a straight narrative on the exact events that led to him crash landing on LV-426.

I have the new Blue Ray 6 disc Anthology. On the Audio Commentary Ridley Scott likens the Space Jockey's craft to a sort of "Aircraft Carrier" with the eggs being weapons. He says that he wants to explore and answer the questions of where the Space Jockey and the Aliens come from in a future "5 & 6".

some kind of giant telepathic "elphantile-like" massive creature was the way they described the so called "growers" in the so called "phony" Spaiths script. that being said... I think of the space jockey as one of the growers. that covers the outside for me. the inside i leave open to how Ridley determines to address that for everyone...cause I do think we're going to find out 100%. my guess about what happened to the original Face-Hugger that got into the "Prometheus" I guess their going to call it {if they intend on referring to the ship with that name}, and impregnated that Space Jockey... ...it like many many others I imagine as they first arrived swarmed that entire cavernous area of LV426 and cleaned it out of every living thing down there, if there even was any, which allowed a queen to lay all "dem" eggs that KANE first so deliberatley encountered bringing us all here to this point 35 years later. that Face-Hugger is really incidental to the story/timeline now but I think you could make a whole side movie spin off...lmao...about that particular Xenomorph's life. imagine the possibilities...lol.

[b]Posted 08/21/2011[/b] [quote]My thought is the spacejockey was a crew member of the prometheus and was transformedd. I mentioned this in another thread. Maybe the alien that emerged from the space jockey created the eggs. That would mean the spacejockey was looking over a bunch of humans frozen in stasis for some reason. In the original script their was only one empty egg sack in the derelict ship and the jockey had carved a triangle into the dashboard of the ship. Later the dust storm clears and they see a pyramid that they think the jockey was referring to with his drawing and they go to explore it. Inside one member finds a room with thousands of eggs with hieroglyphs on the wall that explains the alien life cycle. Ridley can't really redo the original movie to make this happen but he may expand this idea. Maybe the space jockey went to this pyramid and brought the single egg from this pyramid back to his ship and it infected him and then the resulting spacejockey xenomorph found a large cache of human material asleep and used up it's remaining days making eggs out of them. After it's death they sit on this planet patiently waiting for a host.

I don't want to see it in the film personally, but it is Brilliance given WHEN you came up with that.[/b]

[b]"This one time... at Band Camp...I typed the word "Anatomy", in the search bar On the Prometheus Forum, and This thread popped right up, Gee Thanks "BugHunter"" ![/b] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/1a1bandcamp.jpg[/img]

Bump !

My money is on Vickers getting squished by the crashing derelict, in spite of her starting out as a suit, who turns out to have a conscience. The Prometheus is destroyed in the crash, stranding Shaw, who somehow gets aboard the crashed derelict. While morphing maybe into something else, she figuresd out how to save herself long enough to get into the SJ Chair and send the warning "warning" beacon picked up by the Nostromo. So, the Sj in ALIEN is SHAW. Just idle speculation. Somebody can buy me a beer in June if I'm right, cheers. -sg1054
