MemberOvomorph12/22/2011Okay...so the "engineers" are bio-mechanical as we see with the quick shot of him watching the pilot's chair rising from the floor. It would appear we have one of two theories....first theory, the "engineers' are humanoid as we saw, thus creating "humans" in "their" image....would explain the giant head in the center of the urn chamber...also, they will have a symbiotic relationship with their "Space Jockey" suits being bio-mechanical...thus, the suits and their bodies connect. This can be evident by the first movie in Alien where the suit was said to be fossilized to the chair. The ship and the Jockey become one so to speak...also, might explain his mishap somewhere in the film where he falls to his own dark creation...the darker bio-mechanoid as we know as the Alien from the first film. As for the ship crashing...well, two theories..."Theron" guides the "Prometheus" into the alien ship, as it would explain her running and stripping to get to a escape pod...second theory...the humanoid gives birth to a chestburster, thus losing control of the ship and crashing. But I guess I was getting to the point of the symbiotic biomech hosting...so much to ponder on I know...

MemberOvomorph12/22/2011Read the Greek myth about Prometheus; it might have something to do with your theory. Maybe Prometheus is an engineer and not the spaceship?
I've heard that the human spaceship's name is Magellan, but it has also been called Prometheus (possibly erroneously) in one interview.

MemberOvomorph12/22/2011Good spotting, makes more sense to make the ship the Magellan. What if David transforms into this creature...android and a bio-mechanical relationship going on? We don't know how many they will encounter as well, engineers that is...it would seem like they created us in their image..which would explain the similarities with us and them....

MemberOvomorph12/22/2011Entertainment Weekly published an article where the human ship was called "The Prometheus"...apparently it remains the only published confirmation of the ships name.

MemberOvomorph12/22/2011Yes if the sj are our creators and are humanoid then the advent of the android into the mix could produce to bio mech beasts we know. It would seem odd to call an exploration ship Prometheus. Sounds like you know you'r going to steal something.

MemberOvomorph12/22/2011I often thought that David has a hand in the Alien creation. I know I keep talking about that "plot leak" but a lot of that makes sense, even just seeing the three teasers and this trailer. In interviews, Fassbender states about the view of the events as a non-human, and finding out what it means to be human, or having to rise above and become more than just human. All I know is, now that the cat is out of the bag, we're going to be getting a sever influx of information over the next few months. I just keep looking to Fangoria and Rue Morgue because they have always had feature articles (if not the cover story) on the Alien franchise, and given the darkness of this film, I feel they will have something amazing in the next three or four months to tell us.

MemberOvomorph12/22/2011The goo effect on David will be an interesting idea or if the "engineers" capture him and let loose on experiments on him...thus starting something that should of not been started.
