MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 8:46 PMHello one and all.
I must really thank all of you for being the main source of my online entertainment of late. Thanks also, to all you guys, for sharing your theories and thoughts on all things Prometheus. Maybe like most of you I am drooling in eager anticipation, waiting for the new trailer to arrive, my head quietly spinning with impatience while pondering further theories.
I wonder if anyone has had any thoughts or theories as to why the Alien Xenomorph that we see in the film Alien has the appearance and features that it does. We understand that from whatever biological species the Xenomorph grows inside that it bonds with its victims DNA and morphs into its shape while combining its previous victim’s shape/s.
There has been some discussion about the ‘Space Jockey’ being a humanoid (possibly the blue guy) inside a biomechanical suit. The biomechanical suite would (maybe) morph around him encasing him ready for intergalactic travel and navigation. Or he would wear a biomechanical suit that biologically and mechanically bonds with the pilot chair. Possibly then, the pilot, the chair and navigation system become as one lets say.
So I was wondering if the Xenomorph that we see in Alien could indeed be a combination of what it infected prior to the Space Jockey and the total Space Jockey including chair and navigation system?
Take a look at the pictures below and see what you guys think.

MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 8:56 PMInteresting! It's all Gigeresque though. Who knows where all of his ideas come from? They may or may not be 'related'.

MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 8:58 PMWell how do I put this? Giger is obsessed with certain shapes and they have become a theme in his designs. That is probably why you see this kind of similarity.

MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 9:01 PMOnly time will tell, but I guess we have possibly two films to see before the full and final truth is revealed to the mystery we all long to discover. H.R. Giger sure has one heck of an imagination thats for sure .

MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 9:03 PMBut oh so almost true Cain1977. There are pictures of the xeno with a penis instead of the inner mouth! You have no doubt seen it though?
Mr.J
MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 9:03 PMThanks Bio...
In all seriousness...I think we will see the predecessor to the Alien we see that hatches from Kane. What a species they created? A cross DNA experience? Or did they come across the species upon this planet? I am sure we will find out in this movie...and I like to think Shaw plays a part in the formation of this new species...

MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 9:08 PMno giger was just working with the same ideas in his head when he designed the jockey and the alien..a lot of his drawings start to look alike its just the style he was concentrating on

MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 9:08 PMIt's a great question and Scott will have to back-track somewhat if it's answered in Prometheus.
The original designs, as we all know, were done by Giger. They were great, they were groundbreaking. Was the concept introduced in the original Alien that the xeno must have characteristics of the being it gestates in? I've lost track now. If not, does Scott have to adhere to this? If so, then he (and the screenwriters) had to think of a way to retrofit this into the story, because at the time, they weren't thinking "prequel" thoughts.
Mr.J
MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 9:10 PMI think Scott can break his story, I mean he did already by saying the Jockey in Alien was a suit and not the actual creature we thought but I think Scott will incorporate perhaps some of what he did not get to do in Alien...because the effects were not there and he did not have the money but he does not and I can not wait to see what he has in store for us...

MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 9:13 PMI think it could even be possible that upon visitng this planet it was indeed their final fatal destination. They (the S.J's) happened to visit a planet with an organism already in place that they had not rekoned upon finding. A very hardy nasty little slimy parasite that infected all biological life forms that probably thought all its Christmases had come at once!
Mr.J
MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 9:17 PMThe species could have come from the planet the jockey's were terraforming, found it and decided to try something with it...they were successful but it turned to be fatal, yet a short life span..thus becoming a mobile weapon in aiding the extermination of planets...one got loose in mid flight...and thus caused another ship to crash and lead us to the ill fated events of the Nostromo.

MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 9:18 PMIm surprised the thread did not get closed. I would assume this has been up before. But i just. Post elsewhere a question very similar, what does a pure zeno look like. We' ve only seen human dna and dog. Maybe the preditor if that counts. I would love to have a pure image and put it in a morph program and see what other creatures would become.

MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 9:23 PMred hood, I saw your post re the pure zeno in the right column but then couldnt find it to read it!
Have you seen all the Giger art and maybe have a suspicion that a pure zeno or close original relative is featured in one or some of his art?

MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 9:31 PMEverything Giger draws is phallic or vaginal or sexual in nature.
He's a got a club decked out with all this stuff doesn't he?. I'd love to make a pilgramage ;)
Mr.J
MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 9:33 PMGiger is the only person when Psychologist see him, they seek help...

MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 9:51 PMLegs arms mouth seem the common items. What would a bird type have. Would a snake make it more flexable would it have arms legs? Some would not change that much. A gator would add more protection and a additional 1000 lb bite grip.
