ITs only me or everything we have saw until now in prometheus is "Mechanic/Metallic" without the "Bio" ? ...the ampules are metallic ..with Bio they become Eggs .... the Metallic "spider" that David extract from the urn ...with Bio it become a Face hugger the supposed SJ have a metallic suit ...with "bio" it become a biomechanical suit the SJ "chair" look so clean and shiny ...it miss the bio "fused" part ( CGI maybe ) Its like everything in the temple is metallic and is "waiting" the "Bio" to evolve i also found that interesting image ..watch the nose [img]http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/8862/lq4eq.jpg[/img]

bio mechanic.....what's that?...dead or alive?....i mean I am familiar with the idea in sci-fi....but it might become a reality in our future one day.....just how much emotion can an android even feel.....it's not like i ever met one....so what can u really expect....what if it's got a human brain?....does it have a soul? (not that i necessarily wanne open a religious discussion).....but could u see yourself having a relationship with something...almost human?

but returning more closely to what this thread is about.....something makes the interior of the ship as well as the chair seem more biological....maybe their is a reason why everything in the ship seems more metallic...something that will be explained in the plot of prometheus that will explain why their is a certain organic look to everything in the original A L I E N !....something gets unleashed towards the end of Prometheus!

The Ampules themselves are seriously metallic and CONTAIN the BIOLOGICAL viscous liquid containing the genetic codeing for thousands of different species. Sorry to smash that theory !!! With the Ampules there at all I just do not see what you mean The Liquid is Clearly 100% biological and it is 100% contained inside the Ampules!!!

mmm but the liquid alone seems unable to change the container ...no there must be an outside input to allow the metal to become biometal its seems that everything we see in prometheus is the METAL version of what we have saw in ALIEN !!!

I'm fascinated by the side by side comparison of the head of the guy on the side when the jockey chair is being raised, and the giant head in the ampule room!

their is plenty that is gonna happen in prometheus and bear in mind that it is set at least 30 years before the events of alien....so far their has been many explanations and speculations and theories around those metallic urns....almost willing to bet that someone has nailed it by now....but in the end who knows who was right...we just gonna have to wait another 5 months, 1 week and 3 days....(roughly I think?....lol)

Sparty cant give an explication and add another theory to the bunch .... i just say what i see ...i see that everything we have saw in ALien , so alive , so biomechanic ...here in prometheus is metallic dead .... SO i think something is going to happen ... but ive no idea what !!

Also, it even seemed to me, when I saw a photo of Shaw's space helmet reflecting the derelict ship, that ship too looked more smooth and metallic, with little lights on it.

actually....i don't even know if this metallic urns versus purely organic looking eggs issue will be explained in Prometheus.....i kinda hope it all makes sense in the end whilst still leave us with some questions to ponder....they must never completely destroy the mystery of it all!

IMO... Ampules - Containers for storing genetic materials. Eggs - Eggs for Facehuggers. ...Two completely separate things.

yeah....that makes sense snorkel...they can be completely separate....in fact that's what i think they are.....but their was no big head in alien (the one on the poster and seen in the trailer).....so is this even the same ship?...(another thing that has been discussed in these forums to the point of exhaustion)...my guess is as good as any of yours?....i suppose speculation is purely fun for now...while we wait!

I don't think the Big Head is on board the derelict, but rather inside the temple (the silhouette of which can be seen in the trailer when the Prometheus garage doors open)... Temple - storage area for the ampules. Derelict - Bomber for deployment of eggs.

@ snorkelbottom It makes sense....so i'll go with that theory for now!...;)

i see too many similarities to think are two different things ... 1) both are placed almost in the same way 2) both contain something very similar 3) both have near a sort of laser source ( red or blue )

Of course there are similarities, especially if they were created by the same source - the Jockeys... Think of it this way CD's and DVD's are different, yet we store them in similar ways.

we are talking about the "core" of both movies ...cant be only the way of Space Jockey to order things ...that would mean that there is another room with all space jockeys chairs all ordered in the same way ... can be !! but too me is a too similar thing regarding something too important to be leaved to "SJs style of life"

...it's not even up for debate whether or not their is some weird biological substance in those containers that can mutate or create any life form....the question is what are they doing their and where did they come from....and where are they located?....I think those things are on a different ship or structure (like snorky and others suggested)..so much mystery....geeks all over the world are going nuts with the possibilities...:)

I was thinking the same as snork.........I think that they go to the planet for the temple and the derelict doesn't show up unfilled the end of the movie.
