the mutant guy

i think vickers is running to an escape pod or something ( alot of alarms going on ) and she need to change suit ... no snorket i was thinking about him [img]http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/8968/prom2z.jpg[/img]

Yeah Frantz I was thinking maybe she has to freeze herself. Don't know any other reasons but those why she has to undress in a hurry.

I think this guy is one of the "mercenaries" mentioned in the casting list. I think he just has a beard, and the angle of lighting is distorting the appearance of his facial features. Note that what he's wearing, bears almost no resemblance to any of the other costumes we've seen other cast members wearing in any of the clips.

I actual think that is one and the same guy - something gets inside his helmet and fills it with smoke, he screams, they panic and take his helmet off... but doesn't suffocate???

This is what happens when someone does the obvious and tries on for size one of these biomechanical spacejockey helmets/ severed head. You know someone would do it too , I mean they went to an alien world and played with their weird toys and didn't even bring surgical masks.

Anyone seen the episode of Red Dwarf called DNA?

I fear! It's even got the yellow grunge in it ..... Well, a half eaten mutton Vindaloo! I bet the Vindaloo monster even looks more lime how we imagine the Space Jockey compared to what we actually get! I'm very concerned and the 'mutant guy' thing is the source :(

That guy with the helmet has some yellow shit eating into his helmet...it's xeno acid blood...or something else is bleeding or spitting out acid...well that's what i get from looking at the pic?...(assuming I am referring to the same pic)

yes but there is no smoke ..seems something even worse ^^

smoke most probably disapated by the time they took the helmet off, or it was the helmet itself that was smoking... Seems to make sense to me... Somehow something gets in the guys helmet, smoke and gunge against the inside of his helmet (maybe coming from himself - puke/condensation etc.), its painful, hes panicking, raises his hands to his helmet, tries to take it off, crewmates run to his aid, trying to stop him removing his helmet, he takes his helmet off, smoke disapates to reveal something happening to his face, crewmates try to comfort him as he screams in agony...

I was looking at that pic again...just now at avpgalaxy... the guy is clutching his helmet and their is plenty of smoke....u can tell that his skin is being burned away by acid.....i'm telling u....that is acid!!!....this poor bastard got in contact with something very closely related to a xeno...no doubt!

xeno doesn't appear until the end. your theory just sounds wrong. they probably threw in that clip just to make you think that. it's something that changes him into a violent big headed mutant. acid doesn't do that. some type of parasite probably.

we think xeno might appear at the end! but yeah, something happens to him, possibly turning him into our psychotic friend at the top of the thread.

There's no way to be sure of anything from what we've seen so there really isn't any point in speculating. All I can tell from what I see is a guy with makeup on his face is jumping off of something at someone while in a wire harness. Maybe he's freaking out because his suit depressurized? Maybe he's been infected with something that alters his mind? Maybe he's a doppleganger sleeper cell alien (like a shapeshifter) that was pretending to be one of the crew? Maybe he's just a dumb guy with makeup on his forehead? Whatever he is, I doubt he's the main villain or creature. We don't know and we can't tell right now.

He's a crew member who has been infected by alien dna.
