Excellent trailer analysis (possible spoilers)

Very good read. Is it possible the ship Prometheus somehow crashes into the engineer's ship when it takes off? It would make sense that the last two females are spared for gestation, supporting the sexual aspect of the story. Plus the scene with the red lasers seem to be two scenes merged into one. I think Noomi looking at the engineer ship was part of the last ditch effort of the movie. It could also mean someone sabotages the Prometheus ship somehow towards the end of film after the creature is awaken, continuing its mission of infestation. Thanks for sharing.

prometheus inbound...hehe clever. in case you don't know/remember, prometheus bound is the name of a greek tragedy. edit, my initial delight turned to disappointment with the analysis of the "road" scene, he didn't consider the possibility that it was created upon landing or afterwards. also, he said the guy who got burned in his helmet is holloway...wrong. that guy didn't have a communications coif. hollyway had his on. i'm betting that other guy is the only who jumps from above. he has a beard and a mohawk.

I do agree that the cryo-chambers are exactly that in the SJ chair room, as I've mentioned in other threads. I also don't think the character in there is the SJ, but he is the one who might be genetically programmed through DNA mutation to wake them if need be. the mutants would be "driven by instinct", so to speak. It makes sense to me that a perfect alarm clock for a dying advanced race would be to program the "goo" to enhance any victim that may come into contact with it- to revive the SJs, and to give that mutant the strength and intelligence to assure the success in such a mission. In short- plant a puzzle on many bioformed worlds, and enter some type of suspended animation until those worlds produce beings advanced enough to come looking for their makers. Then leave certain systems in place to ensure that the less advanced race makes it to you, then use that race as a staple to augment your own. In my mind, it's just a more complex way of doing the same procedure that brought a zeno into being in Alien- just on a global scale. Just a theory I guess. And one hell of a dirty trick for any race in my mind.

Perhaps this has already been speculated upon, but I do not see the "alien" ship being anything other than the "original" derielict from the first film. The reasons for aesthetic differences can be explained away, but the major reason for this assumption is plot. Think about it. What's the connection here? What are we witnessing in the timeline of the ALIEN mythology. Anything else is too problematic, and would create too many variables. Remember the storyline intersects with the original, and I believe this is how...

they say its hit by the magellan/prometheus because there is well visible , on the ground , a wrecked leg of the human ship ...definitely the same one we see in other sequences ( for example the one in which shaw fly with the bag ) ..so we can assume that was one of the pieces falling from the sky .

First post here, you guys have some fascinating discussions going on. In this trailer breakdown, and in other places, I've often read the interpretation that the shot of the explosion and the derelict craft is some sort of suicide mission that forces the derelict to crash. However, I have a different interpretation. What if the human craft is leaving with some sort of stolen SJ technology, leaving Noomi and Theron marooned on the planet? And the derelict arrives to destroy the absconding craft, killing everyone on board and landing--not crashing--on the surface? This interpretation would explain why two characters would be on the ground so close to the derelict crash or landing site.
