January 16, 2012The 'skull'/'helmet' on the medical table in the trailer is partially obscured, making it seem smaller than it really is during that brief glimpse. But I reckon it's the same one that we see in this pic here, and this certainly seems plenty big when compared to the 2 human heads inspecting it, considering we're only seeing the top-half of it - http://imgur.com/y9tZk.jpg
So I have no worries about the scale not matching the ALIEN one.
And the 'big, bald humanoid' in this shot here is an unknown size at the end of the day, so I also have no worries that the 'chair' will be similar in scale to the original one in ALIEN either. We don't 100% know that this guy will be the one to sit in the 'chair' eventually, but if he *does* put a 'helmet' on, I've no doubt it looks in scale with what we saw in ALIEN.
What I *will* be bothered about though, is if this PROMETHEUS 'chair' and 'Derelict' are supposed to be the exact same ones seen in ALIEN, as there are just so many differences in the actual design details of these between the movies...and these have been brought up in the likes of these topics -

But as some of these differences seem so distinct on the PROMETHEUS 'chair' and the 'Derelict', I'd be surprised if it turns out to be the actual version seen in ALIEN. I hope I'm not wrong.
