I'll start the thread...but I need one of you guys out there to post some stills for closer viewing. All I gots is the iPad. For that quick sec that you can see the SJ from the side, it was hard to tell if it was a helmet as part of a suit or not..Thoughts andand pics? That is a great little trailer!

I think it is a helmet, the way the suit seems to peel awy fromnthe wearer in segments like that and it even seems to be designed to look as though it has a mouth, matching the scene from 'Alien'.

I think I just watched the trailer like 20 times... Hehe The guy down the hall wo looks like he's made of particles...I think it's some kind of interference with a cloak or something...it looked like an SJ suit..I think. God that scene was so quick! Gimme just a second more!

Think the particle image might be their suits version of lowlight vision or something......hmmm...motion tracker vision?

It is so hard to tell, both the scenes are so quick! I hope someone will give us some looping gifs to view... Sorry, I'm acting like my dog... No begging...

anyone else notice the space jockey suit to be much smaller compared to how it looked in alien. especially the arms, the arms are half the length of the original space jockey

I seriously don't know. If it's a helmet, why all the bone fragments from the decayed corpse from the original [b]Alien[/b]? I'm beginning to speculate that Ridley Scott is thinking of an alien being [u]far more removed than anyone has thought of before[/u]. What if the Space Jockey body is in some constant metamorphic state. Its body always changes to best suit its environment! That would make it the most ideal organism. An organism that adapts to any environment. I highly doubt that the "blue guy" is the Space Jockey. It's just too cliched... too human. Matter of fact, from the original Alien movie, [b]Ash discovers the original Xenomorph is Silicon based as opposed to Carbon based[/b][i][u][/u][/i](which is what all organisms on Earth are based on). Furthermore, because the Xenomorph is silicon based it's able to adapt much faster to its environment. This would explain why everything in the Alien and Aliens universe is "[b]bio-mechanical[/b]". Personally, I find this to be very interesting. Silicon chemistry is similar to organic carbon based chemistry (for any scientist in here, silicon belongs to the same column with carbon and most importantly contains four valence electrons). However, silicon is the core of computer and machines in today's technology. What if in the evolutionary process, silicon replaces carbon to create organisms that are more malleable and able to think at the speeds of computers. This would explain the intelligence gained by the Space Jockey. Sorry for being so nerdy. It's just the scientist in me. Ridley Scott just gets so much of his story right with science.

@czelaya That's an interesting take on the silicon based organism Here is a thing: the Jockey in the trailer looks different, smaller, from the original in ALIEN. Its arm is definitely more human-like. This may be the younger ones, or less evolved one. Also, I notice, the suit does not operate in mechanical way. While the rib cage opens up like origami, take a look at its arm: its skin surface morphs, and peels off.
