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.

In Alien 3 the computed transmission from Earth & Bishop looked instantaneous to me!

Alien 3 took place after Ellen Ripley was recovered in the Narcisus 40 some odd years after the Nostromo went down on Archeron, The Sulaco made it from Sol to Zeta in a third of the time that the Nostromo was going to take to transit from Zeta Ret back to Earth. Their technology has obviously advanced since the events in Alien. Prometheus takes place even earlier. It's rumored that it's literally the FIRST FTL flight outside our immediate area of space. Thank you Biomechanic for the little bit of info on the apparent time line. If that's the case than Alien 3 was a century later. However RS isn't even going to acknowledge those films as they are outside his established canon. The transmission time roughly coincides with Weyland diverting the Nostromo from it's route from Thedus to Sol.

Still sounds like "You don't understand" and it makes perfect sense. think about it. Why would she tell somebody You don't have to stop and then go "we were wrong, I was so wrong" also, i hear Prometheus. like it is a sign on or off. This is what I hear. After listening through headphones and the slowed down version. "You don't understand" "Is it coming in?" "Prometh....Prometheus" (jumbled in delay) "I was wrong" "It was so wrong" "I'm so sorry" Sorry to keep disagreeing.

Well, I was listening to that dialogue several times too and it sounded to me pretty much like that: -You won't/don't understand -It's coming, it's coming -Prometh.. -I was wrong -We were so wrong -I am so sorry. I'm not sure whether it makes sense, but it surely doesn't sound like "you don't have to stop"/etc.

I think it is: You don't understand. Come in, come in Promethe... I was wrong We were so Wrong I'm so sorry

Ghost solitaire : Ripley was floating out there for 57 years. Regarding the teaser dialog, you really have to ask why these specific lines are used at all? "I'm so sorry"- major regret "I was wrong/we were so wrong"- portends for boding of an assumption. Repace said something about her character being a "believer", my guess is that is the context of what she is wrong about. "you don't understand"- a plea or frustration about something deadly serious. I can see this argument with Vickers, but I'm guessing. Could be with another scientist,David 4.0, or one of the mercs aboard trying to run roughshod over the civies. Ones thing is certain, Sir Ridley is going to hit us in the gut. This movie is going to be serious as sin. Greetings to all btw.

Could it be? : You have got to stop **** prometh.. prometheu... I was wr.. wrong.. it was so wrong.... (deep breathing over and over) I'm so sorry....

The idea of a last message sent to earh is very plausible ..however there is another message we know very well ...so the movie end with everyone sending messages ? hum dont know i fear that it would create some confusion ..but of course can be a shaw message "translated " by the SJs technology .

I think that transmission occurs long before the film ends Frantz, Just a guess, But I would say it's out of sequence in the trailer and you can pretty well bank on it.
