Head Urn Theory

I agree the urns are carrying pre-facehuggers. Or at least some of them are. But I really [i]hope[/i] they're not designed to wipe out the human race. The Bioweapon angle that Ridley has talked about is just god awful, it is too easy, and too James Cameron/Micheal Bay.

Lol I just had a giggle at what'd go through the 'mind' of a facehugger if it saw the giant head. "Woah man! It's christmas! Come here beautiful" Whip!

the bioformer / proto-alien-DNA/DNA bank of all galaxy species etc ideas are more interesting interesting fact: Amoeba's genome is 100X as big as a human. (because it has to do everything in chemistry,no hands/mind) put another way, an Amoeba could *carry* human genes and not really notice What if the SJ's are like that .. dual state life cycle, they start as unicellularbacterial life (in the pods) which can infect/mutate/modify other organisms and alien is just a refined version

I think that the Xeno-morphs could in fact be a bi-product of SJ experimentation on one of the human Prometheus crew, it was an accidental creation will will lead to the xeno's being a threat to the SJ's themselves.

Best I can come up with is that the green things in the urns are like venus flytraps that break down its food into an "injector" for whatever species it devoured. This would make the egg in the ampule room a seed from the jockey, and fits in with the idea that the Xenomorph is a mix between its seed and its host (making Mr. Penis-Head a mix of jockey and human). Maybe this time we'll see a poor jockey get humped by one of our own seeds? And I don't want to dabble too far with goo theories and Shaw pregnancies but I will say this, if there is a rapid human pregnancy in this film, I wouldn't be surprised if it fit into the egg cycle because rapid-growth is a quality we've already seen in Alien before. So keep the theories coming...

@Gerhirn - Agreed about the rapid pregnancy stuff! I think the Urn that Fassbender's character is studying could be some kind of self converting DNA "thing" that absorbes the DNA of the species in contact, then forms into a creature able to impregnate it.

There are some great ideas being thrown around here. I really like the idea that we & our nasty vicious Xenos are actually related. It's too dark to handle in Cameron's ALIENS so James & co. turn it into Ripley's nightmare. What if it is not a nightmare. What if they allow Xeno to gestate & they remove it from Ripley's womb via medical procedure. Remember when Kane is face hugged, he says: "I dreamt of being smothered..." He didn't even remember there was an alien organism inside him.

There are no SJ's (as such) the urns ARE the SJ's ....laying dormant, waiting for the next civilisation host to come along and infiltrate. The last remnants of a long gone lifeforms (s). Not sure how the eco-skelton suit fits in though.....

The big head maybe really has one Simple function: Once a creature evolves out from the ampule, the big head makes it horny, making the creature Wanting to rape/hug any Living being that looks like that big head :)

it's AvZ Alien Vs Zardoz

interesting theory, but what stuck out the most was that first comment. "Mentos"? did you just compare James Cameron to Michel bay? not cool dude.... not cool..........

i wouldnt think the xenos (no eyes) needed a visual instruction to perform an instinctual imperative..... by that logic there should be a dog/ox head to instruct the xeno in Alien 3, after it hugged ripley.....poor confused animal! think the head is symbolic, but for what or who?
