The Space Jockey

Well, man could be Prometheus. We already have Wayland saying he is god. He sends the ship to god. The crew steals something and is punished. Still, the cave paintings don't make a lot of sense unless it is a trap.

what made the derelict/space jockey, from the original ALIEN movie so great, was that it was so alien, so unknown and unlike anything one would expect in space...i'm afraid by trying to explain/define/clarify it in prometheus, the mystery explained ruins everything that was great in the original ALIEN film....... i liken it to a short story my S. Lem, where an astronaut encounters an alien spacecraft that flies by. The mystery and alieness of it, the fact that it has probably been flying through space for millions of years is the mystery that makes it so fascinating....... When an artist takes away the spectators use of their own imagination and interpretation, then you're left with an average result....alot of special effects and a ready made to watch on DVD.......
