OK, I have seriously watched the trailers way too many times. Knowing what I know about the first movie and piecing together bits from the trailers. I think... The space jockey is Weyland. I mentioned in another thread about similarity of the urns to Pandora's box. Weyland I believe see's the contents of the urn as a tool of the gods he must possess to gain his godlike immortal state. With the aid of David he achieves this. However he pays the price that Prometheus paid to Zeus. I believe we see the Weyland space jockey enter the chair and get locked in. But carrying all the mutagenic DNA he becomes a host for the aliens. I had this dream I see the an alien burst from his chest (as was noted with the space jockey's mummified remains in Alien) and once grown it proceeds to remove eggs from him to line the hold of the ship one by one. It was noted the hold was filled with the eggs so it took awhile. It is similar to Prometheus having his liver eaten for eternity. I believe Weyland remains conscious during most of this process. It would also explain the warning transmission as Weyland realizing he screwed up decided to warn us not to come back. Or has this been brought up already?

It's a good theory, if a bit of a stretch to be honest. And Guy Pearce is only supposed to have very little screen time in the film, so I doubt it......... But ya never know ;-)

Ok... so - because he's not a female, the eggs are removed from his..... (?). Also, as we've all seen from the ALIENS movies, the Queen lays the eggs. Watch the orginal, look at the melted floor, watch Caine lower down, slip, and do the stupid *Gee, let me take a close look at this thing moving inside this giant egg* maneuver. "Oh! It opened up! Let me stick my head closer..."

Your working off of the notion that the alien ship is THE derelict. You're wrong. You are so wrong.

It IS the derelict.

I don't really think he turns into an engineer or a god, but he wants to... and thinks he will. I personally don't think it's the derelict, but I think Weyland wants to be a god and ends up paying the price. He becomes one of the most terrifying/powerful mutants because of what he's already done to his genes/body. He becomes desperate because of the situation and thinks that he'll gain exactly what the other partially artificial person gets when they mutate: enhanced abilities that help fight off the mutants and three of the four engineers temporarily. I think David gains free will and infects himself to take on the Weyland mutant as a highlight of the film, but the Weyland mutant we haven't seen is not a god or an engineer. Also, when David mutates he's afforded demi-god status due to being a completely artificial son of man mixed with the genetics of the gods (biomechanical nanotechnology that rearranges elements to form new protein chains and nanotubules/nanosynthetics), giving him herculean strength. And as a demi-god he enjoys the best of both worlds and retains control of himself, unlike the raging monster Weyland has become. The film could very well take place in the Zeta 2 Reticuli system, but I highly doubt that what we've seen so far is LV-426.
