December 22, 2011Don't get me wrong, time travel can work if it is integral to the plot (a la Terminator), but in Prometheus I dont think it will work, the whole "we created ourselves" idea is ludicrous.
Another idea I don't like is one that has been mentioned a few times, the idea that the Alien as we know being created by accident, by our meddling, as a result of our DNA - the whole android/human becomes xeno idea. I have always imagined the Alien to be almost as old as the Jockeys themselves, kinda their pet project, their crowning achievement.
While on a roll another idea I don't like is the possibility of the Jockey born Alien being a Queen and laying all the eggs in the derelicts cargo bay. That cargo bay was obviously purposely built for the eggs, as shown by the eggs arrangement and the fact that they were "protected" by a layer of laser-mist, that reacted when broken.
I know all these ideas are not guaranteed to be in Prometheus, and most likely probably are not, I just feel that the direction we all assume the story is going in can be done well, really well, just so long as predetermined facts aren't ignored and ludicrous ideas are kept far and away from what promises to be the best film in a long, long time.
