Mentos
MemberOvomorph01/18/2012[i] first officer called Mudow who helps her fellow crew members after they wake up from cryo-sleep. They’ve been asleep for 5 years and their muscles have atrophied with nonuse, so she helps them get fit only to realize that they are to become victims to creatures that begin stalking them for food and chasing them throughout their spaceship, Prometheus. Dickie’s character, Mudow, lasts 28 minutes before the alien kills her.[/i]
This is from her recent interview in the Daily Star. Now I know at this point the interview is probably faked (or the Prometheus related information is; they get her character name wrong, there is info from the fake plots in there, etc etc).
But it did get my thinking a little. Say some of the info is true; [i]she helps to rehabilitate the crew after a long period in hyper sleep and reverse the effects of muscle deterioration.[/i] Then could this mean she's the second android?
I'll explain.
If all the crew are knackered after their time in hyper sleep, then why would she train them up? Surely as another member of the crew she'll be equally as knackered and in no position to act as a fitness coach.
Where as if she is an android; she'll have experienced no muscle fatigue from the space flight.
Anyway, just something to thing about...any interesting news has dried up lately (bar a few images).

MemberOvomorph01/18/2012Well, Mentos, my first thought when I read this was: well, she could obviously be a doctor. But then: if she were a doctor, wouldn't you expect to see her sitting by the wheel-chair guy on the scene when the battered Shaw staggers into the room? On the other hand, maybe this scene happens after minute 28 haha

MemberOvomorph01/18/2012I imagine that after 5 years of not using your muscles, whether in cryo-sleep or not, they'd have atrophied enormously. Christopher Reeve needed extensive physical therapy after he was paralyzed. I don't conceivably see how you could rehab an entire crew to a point where they're functional (and able to run in terror, flee from a gargantuan ship that's crashing, etc.) without prolonged physical therapy lasting several weeks, at the least.
So I think that the plot details revealed in that interview are bogus, that Mudow isn't an android, and that we'll have to suspend our disbelief and accept that cryo-sleep in the Alien universe preserves muscle mass, as portrayed in Alien.
Fall down seven times, get up eight.

MemberOvomorph01/18/2012Good points guys, I think the interview is faked to be honest, but its an interesting one to hash out.

MemberOvomorph01/18/2012Maybe she has a total of 28 minutes on screen, ...and she does'nt die only 28 minutes into the movie....plus she might be the first casualty?

MemberOvomorph01/18/2012So how about this crazy idea, just follow me here:
If Mudow is an android and "helping" the crew after the 5 year sleep, she is distroid after 28 minutes? This tells me something. In Alien, Ash had hidden motives, remember he turned out to be a "bad guy". And why did she die/get destroid so quickly? Did she redirect the ship to hand deliver the crew to the aliens/SJ? To me it sounds like when the crew is waking up, the aliens where already there. The crew would not be able to be up to much of a fight or to defend themselves against the SJ. You know that the "Company" wants the perfect wepon/organizim. What do you all think?

MemberOvomorph01/20/2012I've posted a topic, but i think she is an android - she said she had to dye her hair blonde. Fassbender did too..
