Shaws body in 1979 alien!

I don't think that's a reflection. Watch when the door moves aside. You can still see part of someone, or something, moving behind the pod that Shaw is in.

All I know is that this "Birthing" is very disturbing. That close up image really cleared up for me what it is that she gives birth to. Looks like a nasty alien squid. Kind of reminds me of the maggot birth scene in The Fly that totally freaks me out. I think maybe they have outdone the chestburster, very unsettling.

But we are all speculating that she is birthing. What if she is actually being saved. Where the claw is removing the face hugger/squid thing and that her scar is from the tentacle which was attached..... Also, is that a dark figure standing right behind the entire glass pod (not the shadowy reflection on the pod but actually behind it). That would mean someone might be using the control claw to remove the squidly thing.

Plewis51, there is no figure behind the pod :D

IO She is in the automated MEDPOD they mention in the Weyland Histories timeline.

I think it's interesting that all this is going on (Shaw giving birth) while other people on the ship are apparently going about their business. The scene where she stumbles and drops to her knees into the room with wheelchair-guy and the others must be right after she gives birth. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out - is she hiding all this from the rest of the crew, or is she part of some kind of experiment that some of them are in on? Can't wait to find out

from just watching the trailers and using my common sense it seems the story is like this.scientists find messages from our apparent creators twe go go find them using the star maps they have left behind ,when we end up on this the creators(space jockeys) planet we set off achain of events as if us going to find the creatorsis our doom , the derlict spaceship is the seeding ship which is heading to earth to wipe us out , in the clip it says there changing (refferring to the xenormorth shaped thing in the ceiling (new trailer 1minute 37 in)thi seems to be the xenomorth.theres more to this movie than just the usual , at the beginning of the trailer you can seee a human changing into something as well . shaw in the like whqt seems like an operating theatre (the sleeping pods are different look at the beginning of trailer )looks like that creature has been taken out using surgery or maybe being inplanted into ahost . this could be adifferent version of the xenomorph , or something completely different. the urns intrigue me more. the ship though is defo a seeding craft.

In the international trailer at 1:52, you can plainly see something burrowing into Holloway's eye.......something that looks like a much smaller version of what we see in this GIF. Perhaps Holloway infects Shaw through having sex with her, and the "tadpole" grows and matures inside her uterus. Judging from what Scott said in the wondercon interview, we're in for something every bit as disturbing as the kitchen scene from "Alien."

How do you post pics on here? I have isolated a pic of the space jockey from the recent trailer. I'm eager to share it.

Its not a facehugger its what was inside shaw ,an early trailer leak showed her tummy pulsating quite a bit and the machine that is removing it is this one from weyland website timeline ,Weyland Industries earns patent number 16,572,092 for Method and Apparatus for the first fully-automated diagnosis and surgical station.

I personally don't think it has tentacles. I think we're seeing the wriggling motion distorted in the curved glass giving the illusion of more that one tail. I think it's a chestburster in some incarnation that will be explained in the movie. How it got there, did anyone else know about it other than Shaw, is that how the Company finds out, was Shaw impregnated or infected? Who knows. I also don't think it's a "proto" anything. I don't think the time span from Prometheus to Alien warrants calling it a "proto/primitive" anything.

I think "Proto" is in order. From all the talk, and from what even Ridley Scott said himself, these creatures "pre-date" the facehuggers, shows what comes before. This shows what the drones look like [i]before[/i] they come into contact with human DNA. What we see in Alien is what they look like afterwards. What we saw in Alien 3 was what happens after they came into contact with canine DNA. They are the ultimate weapon because they can adapt to their hosts requirements and become like them.

I believe the company knows more about things than they let on.... Just like alien....
