Theory on the Space Jockey for the movie

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..."

In the original directors cut of Alien Dallas and Brett were slowly turning into eggs. Sorry, I neglected to mention I thought the eggs were being pulled through the chair somehow as he was now part of it. Which came first the queen or the egg? The series shows they are gene stealers. perhaps the queen was an adaptation evolved from using human hosts once the colonists of Hadleys hope were exposed. They took eggs from the ship for study which infected more people then the queen came about and laid more eggs. My take is the aliens are highly adaptive and will mutate to what ever mechanism is needed to reproduce and survive. It's just a theory. I'm trying to figure out how the movie title factors in with the plot. Even if it's not Weyland, I still see the SJ becoming the egg source. The original idea has gone through many changes as it was passed from director to director. I'm thinking Ridley is using abandoned elements from the original O'Bannon Schusset script.

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.

According to Guy Pearce himself, he's only in Prometheus for about a minute. I seriously doubt your theory.

It's only a theory. But I now think that Weyland dies in the movie never getting his prize. I was just trying to connect the movie title to the plot. I still think the SJ which is likely a transformed member of the Prometheus crew suffers Greek tragedy fate. There's still David to consider as the SJ. and I think Shaw's "baby" is an alien that will make the 2nd act entertaining. As for the whole queen alien thing, that is an invention of James Cameron not Ridley Scott. I think Ridley will link this movie to Alien and not the others. I never liked the queen alien concept. It makes the alien too familiar. If the alien is just a bug the Weyland timeline will indicate the invention of a giant shoe for squashing xenophorphs. I don't think they have a male/female system in place since they have dual propagation system already. Alien makes egg > egg hatches facehugger > facehugger impregnates host > host bears alien. In Ridley Scotts directors cut of Alien, Dallas and Brett were being turned into eggs. I think leaving the alien more mysterious and unfamiliar makes it scarier. You fear what you don't understand. It's instinct. We have seen nothing to indicate the planet in the movie is not LV-426. Just because it has an atmosphere now and none later doesn't mean the planet didn't experience a cataclysm. Weyland Ind. are planet engineers. Destroying an atmosphere is probably easier than making one. At least thats what the global warming people say.

LOL. This is the most ridiculous theory yet, I can't believe what I'm reading... Haha.

Ha Ha Ha Ha he is only in the film for a minute this theroy is shot down
