You don't have to stop!

The first line I hear is "you don't understand" . Not "you don't have to stop" It is her Eastern European accent.

Awsome thread! This is very important to understand what is being said. I'm going to listen again tonight.

I agree with Miser. I hear "you don't understand" in a whisper, then "he is coming, he is coming" and perhaps "to meet" though it's really difficult to make out that last phrase.

man.. can you do that with the whole sound bit? From beginning to end?

Never mind.. you did that with you first post! Thanks!

have you reached an agreement ? :p

PROMETHEUS TRAILER DILOGUE: The way I hear it anyway… “You don’t understand…” VIA TRANSMISSION: “He’s coming…he’s coming…” VIA TRANSMISSION: “Prometh--” “I was wr…wrong…(it was or we were) so wrong…--” “I’m so sorry” “PLEASE!” I'm a little dubious about the “so wrong” line of dialogue…the sound is a bit muffled…and depending on Repace’s accent…could go either way. Interesting topic Biomechanic. ~N

You know...she might be saying "Come in...come in...Prometh--" INSTEAD of "He is coming..." Like someone trying to reach someone else with a transmission. Oh screw it...I fer killin' that god damn right now!

Imagine going through all of this, you are now stranded in Zeta Reticulae, the ship be it Magellan or Prometheus damaged beyond repair. You have just enough power, or life support for you to send a final message back to Earth. To me, it sounds like "You have to understand, I was wrong, we were so wrong,.....I'm so sorry." They went there looking for explanations as to the origin of our species. What they found in no way lived up to the dream of a benevolent all knowing creature that would embrace his children, and answer all our questions. The very notion that technology this advanced is in the hands of anything other than a morally evolved species scares the hell out of me more than any Xenomorph. It's like extrapolating on the rights of parents to interfere or manipulate the lives of their children at whim. However in this case it's expanded to the limits of your imagination, to the creator we are but test results. Marvelous, remarkable but not neccessarily the end products he was hoping for.

I believe you may have nailed it, I like to keep a little more simple though, so up until I read what you wrote "Ghost" I figured it this way...She was wrong to have suggested they bring some of the Ampules on board for closer inspection and what the crew has now discovered is what they are tinkering with was/is beyond their understanding and deadly to them all. That they underestimated or misunderstood the Engineer's potential reaction to them doing that.

Hi Spartacus, I never ever underestimate RS. Doing it the simple way would allow too many fans to nail the plot synopsis based on the trailer. Plus calculating the distance to Zeta Ret, any transmission even travelling a C would take 39.38 years to travel back to Earth. Interesting isn't that?

you dont understand there coming there coming i was so wrong i was so wrong

Very. But at the same time and in the same spirit who's to say they don't have computers tied into their "planted androids" that can deliver messages to them instantly? "Weyland's" a bad bad man dude. LOL

DeKomposer, I thiink the "They" that are coming, is the Engineer's, and their quite pissed off about them Ampules boys and girls..lol...:)

He's so bad he sometimes spells his name Weylan just to be mysterious.

LMFAO, come to think of it, i'm a bad man.

I'm not listening to them because the links are not working. prompting for a sign up again, different one, same request though.

[i]Ghost Solitare The very notion that technology this advanced is in the hands of anything other than a morally evolved species scares the hell out of me more than any Xenomorph.[/i] ^^^ Amen to this ^^^ IMO the xeno is just a bug/animal. It's not evil. I wouldn't want to run into one, but I also wouldn't want to run into a great white shark either. It appears that something in this movie is extremely advance, extremely powerful, and extremely sadistic. That combo makes the hair on my neck stand up.

I got it now, my bad, Biomechanic, I am old and tired.

"he's coming" sounds so funny all slowed down...guess she's having a dream in which she's being impregnated by Bishop in another life.

That's about as Much Intended Evil as you can squeeze out of any creation!

The time it would take a transmission to reach us from Zeta is interesting in that the Nostromo made it's ill fated voyage to the same system 30 some odd years later. By that time it was along a major trade route they were diverted from between Thedus and Sol. RS is obvously completely ignoring any of the published and authorized information available in that there were other worlds colonized in that era that Ripley and crew lived in. Mankind would not advance from a maiden voyage in the first FTL equipped vessel to residing on literally dozens of worlds in under four decades. Logistically and economically speaking it's unfeasible. So if he's off the rails and rewriting the entire genre, one never knows what we're in store for.
