Index finger David

Thought this character was an android?

remember that all the synopsis we have read until now are fan made .

Yep, I know, but look: he has a cut in his index finger. As all of you know, androids bleed a milk-like substance. You can clearly see a drop of milk. And the ?claws don't look to friendly to me.

Btw, the androids in the Alien universe don't look to mechanical to me. More like a form of biomechanoid?

well the "claws" or are vials for DNa (or something else ) or is some sort of facehugger skeleton ....

He is fascinated by his finger. [img]http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc389/bongobat/Fun%20on%20the%20Internet/Prom-ss-01.jpg[/img]

[img]http://www.autumnskyburning.com/files/david.jpg[/img] I don't really see anything out of the ordinary, except that he's holding onto something rather goopy and which contains something slightly resembling chestbursters.

I can't definitively see android blood in either of the available pictures although there does seem to be something. I think the idea comes from the picture I just posted where he is looking at his finger and the eyewitnesses that saw the original footage at the comic con screening saying it was a white substance. I take a leap of faith and say yes he probably got scratched by one of those claws when he was playing with the ampules without gloves.

Maybe one of the tadpole-things bit him.

First knuckle index finger. Picture quality is not that great, but I see it clearly on the pic posted by RickK. I'm too lazy (or stupid) to post a pic myself.

BTW, does anyone here find it rather stupid to handle this kind of stuff without any form of protection, android or not?

[img]http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc389/bongobat/Fun%20on%20the%20Internet/Ampules.jpg[/img] You do have to watch the motion and you see something small that seems to move downward on his finger but it is not clear what it is. Could simply be a reflection of light. Nevertheless He is clearly looking at his finger in the comic con trailer. That isn't something someone just take time out of the day to do unless there is something wrong. well some of you might do it. : )

What's the type of video you're watching? Under hi-def Quicktime (and a good monitor) it's quite clear. (Shit, now I have to create another account to upload the pics; as I said before, I'm lazy)

Nope, I'm to stupid. I give up, nice try and way to go. Update: I'm still to stupid. How on earth do you post images?

Maybe the pure alien dna being fused with android "blood" is the origion of the BIO + MECHANICAL creature we know from the original movies.

@RickK Its a possibility...good thinking.

Just click the picture button and add the URL to the text box. The url should start with http and end with a picture type extension like jpg. Sometimes places like facebook use their own method to show the picture and the link wont work so you have to get to the direct link. Most browsers let you do this by right clicking the picture and choosing the appropriate action from the drop down menu.

Yo Rickk, that is actually an original idea. never thought about that possibility. though i must say, that the whole Technology of the SJs are quite Biomechanical.

Looks like pop tarts to me !!! [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/1a1poptart.jpg[/img]

The android really is bio-mechanical. In a sense human are as well. We have metallic substances as well as organic in our bodies. We are all making the assumption of DNA based mutation. The aliens goop doesn't have to be DNA based at all, or any definition we could currently cover in scientific theory - its alien. Certainly it's possible that the goop could corrupt both androids and humans. I like the idea. What's interesting though is whatever is in that ampule looks pretty organic and living to me. That doesn't mean anything but it's clearly more than just blank goop. It has a form, claws almost, and appears tissue like. Pure face hugger? Pure alien corruption weapon, so not simply a face hugger but something else to administer the alien weapon into other organisms?

I remember seeing the frame of David scrutinizing his index finger, but, it was with his palm towards his face. In the picture in question, the supposed android blood is dripping down the top of David's index finger. One could make the assumption that the android blood wrapped itself around the index finger as it dripped down. However, it seems like a stretch to me. I think that shot with David lifting the specimen out of the alien ampule is just about that - lifting a specimen out of an ampule. I think Charlize's character infects David with the alien bioformer, but just not in this scene.

android cannot get infected. their white blood is made of chemicals, otherwise it'd decay and start to smell. after we get that simple fact out of the way, that none of you seem to be able to figure out, lets move onto the finger scene. when you touch slimy gooey things, you tend to drip all sorts of things from the point of contact. in this case, the hand, more specifically the finger he used to grab it. what is it? will an android really be fascinated by his own blood? or will he be more fascinated by the texture and viscosity of the alien fluid? androids are designed for analysis and are almost always scientists. it's simply interested in the substance, nothing more. this stupid crap about an android being infected makes me laugh.

Wow, walterhiller.... Everything you type is so condescending and attack based. You have elevated yourself to the ranks of most irritable poster here.

[i]walterhiller[/i] might be cranky, but he does raise some good points which challenge the theories about the movie's plot. On the other hand, recall that the Space Jockeys have the power to create[b] biomechanical[/b] life forms, so the ability to infect an Android, is not out of the question.

errrrr i remember a certain android looking at his cut finger in aliens after the knife incident with the grunts

this is clearly the start of a facehugger/egg, growing in a urn from under the SJ

I think RickK hit the nail on the head with his last post. As for walterhiller... It's good to have someone to laugh at :-) Maybe.....the space jockey form IS an organic suit which envelopes the "alien" when needed and organically fuses with the wearer. MAYBE....all the biomechanoid elements are just things which are "tools" and are used when needed. Maybe, if David becomes infected (in whatever way), the biomechanoid tissue merges with the android tissue and becomes it's own living being.....a xenomorph. Maybe David is the first...?

Soooo someone's complaining about how unlikely it would be for "alien goop" to infect an android? *blink-blink* Shouldn't it bother you more that in the "Alien" universe, waaaaay too many people have a cavalier, c'est la vie attitude about directly exposing themselves to completely unknown, [i]alien[/i] biological organisms/materials.......apparently, even on a scientific research vessel. C'mon..........seriously?

***Please Note: Vulgarity Contained*** Right now anything is possible to theorize one way or the other, it's your free will to do so. To use references other than what is actually in the movie ALIEN and the teasers could be futile. Now if you were at Comic-Con or viewed the footage shown there, and you saw something never scene in any of the leaked footage, then by all means enlighten us, But to be rude/condescending to others based on your unsubstantiated opinion is asinine. RS has said small overlooked things play a big role in this film. The film has some of the ALIEN dna. Play on words maybe, but to what extent we don't fucking know. So, how about some of us remove our self righteous heads out of our arses, and keep the fanboy bitchiness to ourselves. Please keep this site/forums fun for most =))

Frankly, if the plot of this movie involves any kind of "infection" scenario, I personally believe it would be a missed opportunity, if one of the victims [i]isn't[/i] an android. Go figure.
