MemberOvomorphMarch 23, 20121204 Views18 RepliesBeen reading these forums since the beginning and figured I'd go ahead and sign up. Reading the different hypotheses and theories on the forums people tend to have a general opinion that the SJs are in fact mutated crew members. There is no doubt after watching the trailers that there are indeed elements that change the DNA and overall biology of some of the crew members......but why are some so caught up that some of the crew are the SJs. In line with the Prometheus mythology and watching one of the trailers it seems Shaw is telling the Prometheus crew they need to stop "them" or there won't be a home to go back to. I think the "them" are the SJs themselves. Janek in the trailer also states "Kill everything..do you copy?" If I was a SJ and a little group of my creations began to interefere with my grand plans I'd probably want to eradicate them as well. Alien dvd with extras has voice over by Ridley Scott saying the alien eggs are a biological weapon. Time to end this grand experiement called humanity. And one other thing, the profound question this movie may address is the concpet and belief of God. If the SJs created man, then who created the SJs....is there a God then or are we another experiment in a slew of experiements and what was the beginning or origin. Just a thought :).

@ Mattoo - there is always the idea I favour which is...
[i]After millennia of observations, the Space Jockey’s learnt that the chances of a planet siring an intelligent race increased when the life on these worlds had to adapt and evolve to a radically altered environment, ecosystem and food chain caused by a near-extinction event.
To trigger such circumstances artificially the Space Jockey’s once again utilised their extensive biological knowledge and manufactured a deadly biological life form, a race of genetically engineered weapons, and the perfect organism. Designed to propagate using suitable hosts from an alien world’s indigenous population, extrapolating DNA to adapt to environmental conditions during gestation, these deadly biomechanical weapons improved upon their own perfection, eradicating entire races and ecosystems. Once all suitable hosts were exhausted, and the deadly creatures died; only their eggs remained, for collection and subsequently deployment onto other primitive worlds.[/i]
As for the mess left behind (corpses and hives) surely the Space Jockey's would have some means to destroy it, much like the blue liquid in AVPR?!?

Hey Snorks,
I would like to add to what you said by adding the short lived alien life cycle would make this a very fast process. I do need to detract a bit from the clean up part though. If there is nothing to take care of the hive it would just decay or weather away over time. Just let it turn to dust like everything else eventually does over the eons.
Regards,
Rick
