Higher Intelligent Parasites?

Just thought of a new possible twist that the higher intelligent beings are something we have not yet seen but are reponsible for everything. I.e the space jockeys are not the higher beings; as lets face it a giant elephant faced creature doesn't look that clever. How about if it is some sort of parasite that is able to manipulate the DNA of the creature it inhabits?? Maybe we find one of these creatures in the Urns in their lava form and experiment with it / disect it. Then the space jockeys / xenomorths are sent out to have a few choice words with the Prometheus team to ask for their ball back??? I'm convinved the Space Jockey and Xenomorth are from the same family tree; more of an insect biology............

the dead jockey body in the ampule room can make us think that the jockeys are victims of something ...of themselves ? of bad experimenting ? or of something else ? ( i dont think the SJ was killed by the crew because they look a bit too relaxed .. )

Good thought. It may be that what we see of the SJ is an armoured suit that helps the sj move and live within different environs. Whats inside could be a soft tissue type being that hasnt fully evolved into what we would call a proper being. One of the photos released possibly shows a dead SJ but it could be just a disgarded suit. So there could be an intelligent parasite element to this.

Dont forget the theory that the space jockey could be a transformed human,that crashes the derelict ship to save mankind, thats just an idea I read

What we all assume/know so far... 1. Humans - enlisted by the Yutani Corporation. 2. Android - 1 called David and possibly 2, but who? 3. Space Jockey - maybe a lone member or plural. I suspect the humans do kill the Space Jockey seen in the pic after a misinterpretation of intention. After viewing it as a threat they relax, wrongly believing that all is well, unaware that there is another... 4. Mysterious Green Goo - Is this some form of "artificial primordial soup" or something more? 5. Derelict - I'm 99% certain we will see the Derelict crash, linking to Alien. 6. Alien - Uncertain if we will actually see the Space Jockey born alien, but I suspect so (50% chance either way).

I'm drawn to what David pulls out of the Urn in one of the pics. Is it a baby Space Jockey? a parasite or being that the Space Jockey's are protecting? Something they have created or harvested? A baby xenomorth (before it becomes the facehugger?

the only reliable informer ...they one that gave the exact names for the crew ..mentioned to have saw , on the set , 3 guys with parts of a classic alien custumes on . the guy was very reliable with photos and infos ...so we can assume that we will see the classic xenomorph . ( of course we cant be 100% sure ... )

I'm sure fox will have done some promotional stuff with the classical alien even if it doesn't make an appearance.......

I'd really rather not see how the space jockey ends up on LV426, I like the mystery behind it too much ! The way the aliens are just THERE is a big element of the film to me, I'd love to see how the alien species was created and who by but please Ridley, leave the derelict unanswered !!

Sorry Bella, although an interesting thought - I really do hope not! It sounds faaaaar too 'Stargate' to me! I really can't see Scott going down the "Go'auld" route.
