It's A Trap!
MemberOvomorphMar-21-2012 5:41 PMI've been lurking around this site for awhile so I decided to post something. I've been wondering, there are 2 possibilities for the Xenomorph's origins. It was either a certain species that evolved into what it is now, this is possible, due to the Xenomorph "homeworld" mentioned in various places, most recently the newest AVP game. The other possibility is that they are a bio experiment created by the Space Jockeys, and humans/ other organisms were turned into xenomorphs during experiments. I find it unlikely the Jockeys could have just whipped up something out of nowhere, they needed something to mutate/ start off with. I think the more prominent theory is the experiment theory, because what I have been seeing with the Prometheus trailers ( the "squid" being removed from Shaw, the eye worms, and the goo). Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

MemberOvomorphMar-21-2012 5:51 PMI've had a theory for a while that the infant jockey needs a hoast to grow in or the hoast becomes the jockey. The sex and off spring between Shaw and the infected Holloway for me is the most obvious way of a new species being created........ I think one of the actors said the story is about how the mum and dad of the Xeno met, etc........

MemberOvomorphMar-21-2012 6:15 PMI think what is clear, is that this film looks to be far more that just an alien movie. Ive heard this is part of a 2 movie addition to the story???? My guess is the xeno origin begins with the bio engineering from the space jockeys, in an attempt to maybe take over earth, hence "there headed for earth". during the interaction with the humans, (which the jockeys invited to infect) something goes wrong and the xenos get loose sort of thing. The squid thing is a great teaser for what looks like one of the greatest scifi movies ever made. Sort of a darker, cooler, scarier overall better movie than avatar.

MemberOvomorphMar-21-2012 7:19 PMI think the alien is the result of sort of catalyst. What's apparent is that there are several different "creatures" in this film. We have the space jockeys, we have that slug looking thing, we have that tentacle thing, we have the "eye worms", we have that ooze (which is obviously organic), and we have one or more crew "transformations". From the very beginning, when Ridley started saying "DNA" in regards to alien, I believed that David is an integral part to the xenomorph's genesis. He is a biomechanoid, as are the aliens... and it's obvious that this film deals with transformations. It also seems strange that the urns exist in a similar fashion to the eggs in Alien so I still think that the urns themselves maybe transform into eggs, or that the eggs are the equivalent of the urns in some respect.

MemberOvomorphMar-21-2012 7:50 PM"Genetic maps are most accurately constructed by using
multipoint crosses. In humans, the case for multilocus
analysis is even stronger: gathering enough information to
map, for example, a disease-causing locus may require
pooling data from many families, each informative for a
different set of marker loci. Studying a dozen or more loci
simultaneously may thus often be desirable."
Yep - not that smart, just did the Google Gig for Genetic Mutation out of shiz and gigs, and came up with that quote.
Here's the site I pulled it from:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC304651/pdf/pnas00273-0261.pdf
These theories on the board are amazing - hell, not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I gotta say - the posts are making me dig into what this flick could potentially be. Reading from niv.gov on the possibility of manipulating existing genes, and how problematic it is, leads me to believe that the movie is going to explore a hell of a lot more than seeing our beloved Xenos....or at least, those facehugs we've all come to know.
Quick take? Benevolent beings have gone from place to place with the intention of creating, only to have one of their creations come back and screw the entire gig by being so pridefull that - in equating their very being as equal (i.e. the "Prometheus" crew) - they strike back.
Anyone read the "Old Testament" at some point? Talk about some old school biblical wrath along the lines of what this flick is. Seriously - "Hey, you, kill your son, Cain - whack Abel, oh - and drunk dude, build an ark, grab a party of two each, and head for higher shores".
Just saying - it's the ultimate question that should best be asked when we dig in for a dirt nap. By this I mean - hey, don't go looking for an answer without understanding the question, be prepared for what you find, any maybe wait until it comes to you.
Too deep, man - just caught up in the mythos. Thanks for letting me run my suckhole.

MemberOvomorphMar-22-2012 12:30 AMwhoa! i thought i had slipped into a philosophy class. There is some deep thought going on here. Not really sure where i am, I def think that there is a play on the words "strands of DNA"........guess we will have to see.
