The space jockey race will be explained in Prometheus

l`m new to the post , and like most others ,,,,,Can`t wait what do you guys think about the idea that the eggs in the opening below the SJ ship , each egg were put in a enclosed capsule to transport out of there area of space , but something happen when they landed ??? . i keep looking at the trailer were the earth crew are walking around the eggs , but the shape of the eggs are not right..

LOL ncc1701 you are a reslient little bugger regarding you being new and your question. :) Welcome btw Regarding each egg in an enclosed capsule do you mean the urns? Im not quite sure what you mean by transport out of their area of space, and when you say landed are you talking on LV 426? In the trailers unless I missed it somewhere I do not see them walking around eggs, i see the urns. I cant really answer or reply to what your asking, i dont really understand what your asking.

ncc1701 - In the trailer they are never 'walking around the eggs'. They are walking around urns. Nowhere in Prometheus have we seen the eggs.

i guess thngs fossilize raher quickly in space

The SpaceJockey we see in 'Alien' is a suit made of God knows what material. Ridley Scott has said as much: "...who is that, inside that suit? That wasn’t a skeleton, that was a suit. And if you open up the suit, what do you get inside it?" It may look organic, but doesn't have to be. Having never been alive, it can look fossilized to human eyes after decades of exposure to the planetoid's atmosphere, thus making the 'Prometheus' as prequel idea much more plausible.

true but fossilization takes centuries, if the jockey was fossilized and the eggs survived that long. ash was right about the perfect organism

hey guys new here. yeah i like the exposure idea wood make sence. did uou see how windy lv426 was when they landed. im pretty sure with nights like that it could make alot of things look real old real fast

welcome to the bord man. very true but in the directors cut of aliens, the ship looks in decent shape close up. except for the broken arm lol

@ elder So that is why my cousin from Chicago looks so old. I always wondered why. :) welcome to the board

ha ha thanks guys glad to be apart of all this EPIC speculation

yeah besides the arm it does look decent . hmmm maybe with the addition of the air processers in aliens it settled the weather. ( even though the wind was just as hard in both movies lol) but maybe wind produced by oxygen is less damaging then wind from another gaseous chemical. lol not sure

I'm wandering if the fossilised space jockey in Alien could be explained by the fact that the person in the chair is mutating. My thoughts are: 1. The character (who I belive is in the wheelchair scenes) mutates into the big blue guy, sits in the chair, but continues to mutate and appears to be fossilised into the chair. 2. Or the chair isn't designed to be used for extended periods, the Derelict crashes and the Engineer gets trapped into the chair, the technology starts to absorb him and he appears fossilised. 3. Once the derelict crashes a safety system is initiated and the ship seals vital components, thus the Engineer appears to be fossilised...... I'd welcome any thoughts on this, pure speculation as it is.............

you know not a bad idea it could be a human in the chair and becuase of mutatiom has become bigger and stronger and well jockier
