When Cain "saw thousands" of eggs in the ship/chamber/whatever, I wonder if only a few were actually "still alive". In the following picture, there is only a blue haze over one section of all the eggs. Maybe the ship was almost out of power or that chamber was the last working one and the rest where dead. Maybe it shows that the ship was there for a long time. What do you all think? Its a slow time, just bringing topics up for discussion.

@Brego I like your opinion regarding the docking orientation of the derelict (as seen in PROMETHEUS trailer) & idea that the egg silo existing on the planetoid surface. If the egg silo is part of the ship why isn't there a more direct route to it. Instead, what we have is an opening which look like it's being eroded by some kind of molecular acid. Something has bursted though it. [img]http://oi44.tinypic.com/116uzip.jpg[/img]

@BellaisanAlien, that is not correct, check behind alien, special effects movies on youtube (don't know the exact link). They filmed the sequence with the egg upside down only before it opened.

I wouldn't assume the upward dripping on the egg is a "continuity error." In the Alien comentary track, Scott actually calls our attention to this subtle but creepy effect. From his tone on the coment track, it sounds intentional.

Shooting it upside down so the facehugger would have gravity on it's side and "fall" out and then having the effect of the liquid dripping up, doesn't really bother me. It was probably a "happy accident" that Ridley went with as it added an extra creepiness to the scene.

Re updide down egg. In a making of special (Alien Quadrilogy) Ridley says re this scene that he simply wanted the egg to look more creepy and Alien so he shot it upside down. There is actually footage of them shooting with Ridley articulating the facehugger inside the prop egg using his hands... I think this scene is very effective.

o.k, how about if the SJ has acidic blood, the chestburster pops out and eats it's way through the floor covered in SJ goo.

Yea i kinda agree with flacnvinyl... If someone like an SJ I guess, touched the laser or go past it like Kane did, it could alert the others so they could go help the person or something .... Just a thought

Yea I kinda agree... It could be like a warning, telling everyone "hey, someone is in the egg chamber! Help this guy or there will be a freakin alien infestation!" just a thought... I always did think it was some sort of motion detector or something like that.... Like I said, just a thought...
