My Take on Prometheus

I never liked LOST and i love ALIEN ... Lost did raise many questions that were functional to the story ( and never solved them ... ) , so is the classic product for geeks ( just like inception ) . In Alien what is not told is the "background " of the story but the plot leave not answers untold . Of course geeks can arrive and start questioning about every aspect but that is a thing tha tis surfaced more "thanks" (sic ) to the sequels not by Alien itself . regarding the alien message is a bit difficult that a human crew know how to send an alien warning signal with an alien trasmitting machine but of course everything is possibile .

@Carter J & Frantz ...or maybe.... The the crew becomes infected...or comprimised by alien DNA...and while metamorphising into some"thing" else...is able to get a message off to any one listening. Maybe it's Elizabeth Shaw or one of the other's transforming extraterrestrial voice we end up hearing in the 2003 special edition of ALIEN. Could be...right? or wrong? Cool idea Carter J. ~N

[b]@Carter J Burke[/b] I'm not sure what to think of that really. I've never watched Lost, but what I do know is that it added lots of mystery episode, by episode and then as [b]Frantz[/b] rightly pointed out: it never produced a proper conclusion, it just sort of copped out. In terms of Prometheus, my concern would be as follows: lots of questions asked, but continuity lost with the original A L I E N. I know the whole [i]prequel; to be or not to be[/i] arguement has been going on since this film was announced (and to be honest I think it was just to disassociate Prometheus from Alien 3, 4, AVP & AVPR, which is totally understandable) but I'd like to see a [i]"connecting vein"[/i] as Fassbender has stated in an interview.

Dallas: As most of you may know, we're not home yet. We're only halfway there. Mother's interrupted our journey for she's programed to do so unless things change. Things have changed. It seems that she has... intercepted a transmission of unknown origin. She got us up to check it out. Ripley: A transmission? Out here in remote space? Lambert: What kind of a transmission? Dallas: Acoustical beacon. It, uh... repeats at intervals of 12 seconds. Kane: S.O.S.? Dallas: I don't know. Ripley: Human? Dallas: Unknown. Later on... Ripley: Ash, that transmission... Mother's deciphered part of it. It doesn't look like an S.O.S. Ash: What is it, then? Ripley: Well, I... it looks like a warning. I'm gonna go out after them. Ash: What's the point? I mean by the, the time it takes to get there, you'll... they'll know if it's a warning or not, yes? I lean toward believing it was human because without a key or some kind of Rosetta stone it would be hard for even mother to decipher. Could very well be encrypted for privacy. Ever listen to time code? it sounds strange too if you don't know what it is. Bottom line is it could go either way. The company is full of lies and deceit so who knows what was going on.

[size=200]"What about The Bones Situation...?... Both Me & The Fish Feel That The Bones Situation hasn't been on an equitable level"?[/size] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/a1abones.jpg[/img]

I hope you mean bonus : )

whatever...lol...I always thought he said "Bones". but come to think of it that makes more sense so yea!!!

lol wait what no you have to describe what you thought the bones situation was seriously I have to know.

LMFAO "Bones" in some parts is the same as money so it means the same thing anyways Like when someone says "I am Bone Dry" meaning they are OUT of money !!! But Hey, "Bonus" works much better for me bro...LMFAO...It Only trook me 33 years !!! OMG!!! I HAVE JUST BEEN... PWNED !!! [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/sport035.jpg[/img]

Hey that was a good explanation. I remember in the Godfather I think it was someone says "I was making my bones before you were born" or something like that. I thought it was gathering respect but now since you said that maybe it meant money too. Lets make no bones about it.

wow, great observation, I really always thought he said "Bones" and it was some "British Thing" 'cause Ridley was British if I understood that correctly. Hahaha! Those we're good quotes man.

There are so many little things like that one, especially with a new movie coming out like Prometheus that takes place 3 decades before Ripley is born and to find in the Alien film, the first one I mean.

Ha I get a lot of things wrong and I love them even more when they turn out humorous. Hey look at us getting along Spartacus. It's a Kodak moment : )

@ Sparts My cat would love that The thing about space travel that bothers me about Alien is that Fuel would be precious and calculated to the reticule mile so numbers is also money. Nostromo makes a course correction without notifying the human crew in charge of bringing back the Money Bags. I can't help feel suspicious. Obviously, the crew ain't in charge. Now advancements in space travel thirty years in the future might get you to the point now that you got from thirty years travelling in an older technology so....David Lindelof says that Prometheus is the movie that Alien fans will want to see, cause he is also a fan. I hope he is right and doesn't do anything ridiculous like giving the old Spock wood on a ice planet to make fire.

I think that any film set in space in the future is based on tech that doesn't exist yet, especially spacecraft propulsion. Also the thing about space is that there's no appreciable friction which means there no requirement for a spacecraft to be constantly burning fuel, only to change direction or accelerate. Newtons laws. Any commrecial venture into space would have to be economically viable. If the price of whatever powers the ship is a premium then there would be no point.
