Index finger David

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.

Good one Rick- sounds interesting and plausible.

On a tangent here, but would the Alien Xeno roll on Shabbos? Would it go over the line? Is it only a game? Would the Bar eat him?

here here Mekja-Tek well said couldn't agree more.
