MemberOvomorph01/30/2012I would guess this has been discussed, but I have not read anything lately.
The Original Jockey from Alien - We have a good Idea of his demise. We Know the Ship must have crashed. Now, did he die/ chest burst while the ship was in flight, or after it landing? I tend to believe it happened Prior to crash / was reason it crashed. If not, why would he be in the chair if the ship is damaged and won't move? Some think that Promethues or a secondary ship from promethues collides with the Space Jockey ship, which could be, but I think the Chest Bursting happens around that time or prior to it.
The only other reason he would still be in the chair is if he was knocked unconscious.
I know come June we will get most answers - but they really boxed themselves in with the Space Jockey in the chair scene.

MemberOvomorph01/30/2012maybe the alien is the real ship passenger and the SJ is just a disposable chauffeur/surrogate parent

MemberOvomorph01/30/2012@red hood, I'm with you on everything you're saying as the suspense is driving me crazy! I might add this theory though - is it possible that the Space Jockey is truly bonded to the chair and cannot remove him(her)self from the chair?! Which would make that chest-bursting scene even more terrifying from the SJ's point of view.

MemberOvomorph01/30/2012mmmmm my idea is that its a voluntary sacrifice ... for what we know the SJ of Alien CAN BE Halloway or Shaw's baby ( imo ) purposely crashing the ship to avoid the eggs arriving to earth ...while the rest of the crew fight back the bad guys . That is now what i feel ..maybe tomorrow im of another idea :p

MemberOvomorph01/31/2012@Frantz - Interesting idea there. . . I believe we'll see some kinda human/SJ type creature in this movie, that will tie in with the Derelict from Alien. Although the main thing in Prometheus I'm looking forward to is seeing a potential pre-Xenomorph creature! I think it could well be more terrifying!
