New Image from Viral

Well, Zeta Reticuli, answer the question then - do two Space Jockey ships crash? Are we saying the ship crashing in the trailer is not the derelict? What do you mean, 'clinging to Alien'?

Perhaps it is LV426 with an atmosphere, which dues to some unforeseen action is destroyed rendering the planetoid baren and uninhabitable..... Takka, knowone has told us anything, its all speculation, unless you have read the script. Anything could happen, that why its so much fun to speculate!

The more I look at this picture, the more symbolic it appears to me. It's clearly been chosen for us, to show a very specific moment. One of the pivatol moments of the original film is when Kane is being returned to the ship. Dallas is ordering the airlock to be opened, Ripley refuses, and Ash overrides. from that moment, we now know, the humans represented by Ripley, surrendered what little control of situation they thought they had, to company represented by Ash and of course the Alien. I think that this picture is showing a similar confrontation. The person standing in the centre, arms outstretched, perhaps mediating, perhaps trying to convince the figure at the entrance to let them back on board, or to stop them. A literal and metaphorical "threshold" moment. It's richly symbolic in other ways too. Between the landing site and the pyramid is a road, a bridge between the civilizations of Alien and Man. There's the is gap in the wall surrounding the pyramid, reminiscent of a gateway, a drawbridge to an ancient castle, an enemy fortress. whilst we, the viewer is at the threshold, the gate of our own castle, the door is open, the drawbridge lowered. The last line of defence to own civilization, perhaps?

The more I look at this picture, the more I love it. It’s clearly been very carefully selected to represent a specific event. I am reminded of a powerful moment in the original film when, on returning with Kane to the ship, Dallas is prevented from entering the airlock. Mankind, represented by Ripley, shows caution and denies access. Ash, of course, ignores her and open the airlock. In retrospect, we can see in that moment how Mankind surrenders what control it thought it had to the Company and of course the Alien. It was allowed to cross the last line of defence. From that moment, none were safe. In this picture we see a similar confrontation. The party have returned to the ship, there is a single person standing in “the Breach”. Defending the entrance. The central figure is poised, arms outstretched, offering balance, mediation. Or perhaps they’re attempting to convince that person to let them in. The Pyramid, appears to be surrounded by a wall, a fortification, in the style of an ancient castle or keep. There is a gateway entrance, symbolic of a lowered drawbridge. The road is symbolic of the journey mankind has made between the two worlds. Another bridge. We, the viewer, observe from the safety of the ship, as we did in the original film. The door is lowered, like a drawbridge. The last line of defence to our own castle, our civilization. Are we about to surrender once again to the Trojan Horse, the unseen enemy at the gate?

Ye MUTHR and is that a SJ helmet being carried by someone?............
