Prometheus Revealed?

@ UK Alien/Biehn_Bandit - I get your point of minutes of trailers versus hours of film. It is just speculation, and I do believe something important is being withheld, but I also suspect we collectively might be able to crack the code so to speak. but the idea of time travel and two derelicts will confuse the average viewer I have just watched Fringe (season 4, episode 16) and it made me think... there was a line along the lines of "God's children inherit God's kingdom and become God's themselves", mix this with "The King has his reign and then he dies"... The God's warn us away from the Titans, whom in the time between the warning and us showing up have themselves become the God's, but not very nice Gods whom once aware we are the children of the former God's seek to eliminate us with the inheritance they have stolen and tainted, that was originally intended for us.

That brings me back to what Ridley said on the commentary for Alien. In particular how he wanted the title to show what kind of advanced civilization the Xenos came from...Also, I thought about how when a sacred treasure is stolen from the land, then the land decays, which is what I think happens to this planet, causing it to become the desolate, windy planet we know as LV-426....

I don't agree that it's safe to assume the SJs and "engineers" aren't one and the same, because the evidence people are basing that assumption on, is circumstantial and pretty thin. I also wonder if the dead bodies we see piled up in that hallway are necessarily SJs. Perhaps other races were "invited" to drop by, and things didn't work out so well for them when they showed up, either.

Back in time ... the humans saw a flying saucer thingy ... some bloke turns up ... blah blah blah ... here's some life ... use it ... (that's our 'fire') ... but remember we're already made into humans ... because the drawings have the big geezer talking to small people (which must be US right?) ... we then document it on the walls ... So ... what's to say we didn't write the scribbles on those walls, to 'remind ourselves' of what happened? ... be it a warning an invite or just a note to self? ... by documenting it we are then able to tell others who follow us, in life ... We later 'think' it's an invitation ... que Prometheus the movie ... Work that out :) ... You think that's way out ... you need to have a go on the bong I've just ordered off eBay ... because I'm gonna need it when this sodding movie comes out ...

well with many scenes the answers could be easy if we knew what order they apear in. Such as if we knew the Eel/Tenticle thingy that tries to get to Shaw as she is behind a Door, depending if this scene is after or before the Med Table Squidy Scene could be a big factor. The med table scene here is how i peice it together, some how Shaw is inpregnanted with some Organism, and the company finds out something is up with her, the scene where she fells to knees could be when they find out somethings up and then leads to the scene where they try and restrain her. Or it could be after the scene where they try and restrain her and she escapes but not far and falls to knees. You can se black discharge as if maybe her Water Breaks? This leads to the scene where they take something out of her, thats my opinion. My view on the Space Jockey/Blue Guy is they are one and the same, the size fits the bill the style of the Suit fits the bill. Only odd thing is the one SJ in the Shaw scene does not look over 8ft tall? What could be imporant is there is 100% a scene of one Dead Jockey with its head/mask off. That other image could be more dead Jockeys which if thats the case adds even more to what killed them. They seemed to have died a horrable death i.e not via some virus but killed by something physically. I would assume the crew did not kill them, and i would assume they was dead a long time before the crew landed. There does not have to be two Races, dont forget WW2 was by Humans vs Humans. Maybe some of the Blue Guy/SJ tried to kill off others but for what reason? Maybe a rogue faction of SJ's killed off the rest and then lay in cryostasis for us to come visit them. We just dont know, we dont know if there may be a suprise and so we dont know if the Jockeys are the Eel things, Mutated Humans or what ever. I would assume they are a advanced Race of Large Humaniods and thus the Anunaki from Sumerian Tales. But i guess we wont know for sure untill more is leaked or we see the movie.

Another note is i spoke to someone who claims they know a bit about the plot and that it is simular to Alien Resurection but does not want to give it away. Maybe he is just BS, but he says the Two Andriods are the most important part of the plot? Well from what i seen in Trailers and Alien Resurection only connections i can make are Ripley being a experiment i.e cloned so as to extract the Alien Queen, and could this be simular to whats happned with Shaw? And that Ripley and her Hybrid Baby could be simular to the effected people in this movie, Ripley has Alien DNA and thus great Strength and we can see that from Mutated Fifeild? Maybe the guy means that he starts and maybe Holloway aswell as carrying a infection that alters their DNA which at first is not recognisable i.e just how Ripley looked in Alien 4, but then mutates to what Ripleys Baby does? Thus Evolution of a Mutation/Infection that changes Man to Proto Xeno? Who knows?

The scene with her falling to her knees makes sense if it's after the shot where we see her walking, doubled over, down the hallway. Then she comes to the room where they all are and collapses. All this after she has the auto doc extract something from her abdomen. That's how I see those pieces fitting.

nvm

I guess it all just speculation until we see it..... until then I'd like to make a prediction- The 'squid' (as people have come to call it) will end up being the 1st 'egg' that we've seen in all the other movies......

I think eggs are just urns encased in the same stuff that the SJs are when they're in their chairs- biological styrofoam.

Did I see this right? 90 posts? Holy crap Snork, is that a personal best? One point I'd like to make... It's a simple one and I'm not sure anyone's made it yet, ever. We see a large round object at the waterfall. We also see our beloved bone-ship (derelict) at some point, presumably later on. We assume the waterfall scene is the dawn of modern man and that it kicks off the movie. If we take into account the 35,000 yrs. that have passed on earth since then, (and all of humanity's progress that has taken place in that time), we must also take into account that the alien race in the large round object has also evolved ( or perhaps de- evolved?) Changes have taken place with us. We must assume the same is true of our "gods" yes? They haven't simply been frozen in time... Perhaps their motives have changed since the invitation was left?

This was one kick ass thread... thanks to Snorkelbottom for forcing me to spend the better part of my evening here! SNORRRRRRRRK!! (with my best Bill Shatner yell).

db, You think we've made a lot of progress since then? you're an optimist !! Well, ok, I guess we have...maybe in the areas of spousal relations and hygiene... ; )

True silica, I probably should have included our ability to instantaneously de-evolve too! Terra-formers gotta' love a species that pollutes all their hard work, huh.

If I could I'd post a pick my wife took of our spring break trip in the TN mountains... I'm holding what looks like a big Thor-like hammer made out of 2 connected sections of cut wood / log. Burned into the handle, the inscription reads: "Hillbilly Woman Tamer".

"Hillbilly Woman Tamer" LMAO. Night man. Great way for me to end the evening!

This is indeed a great thread. Thanks Snork for starting it and keeping it going. Some really good theories in here. Nice to see we still have these great discussions. With some of the newer members, we've had some really odd threads!

@db, lol... ok, well maybe just developments in hygiene and the germ theory of disease, then (Ignaz Semmelweis). Our understanding of bacteria has at least lowered the rate of mortality of women after childbirth. Although, it didn't help BugHunter... : (

I find so interesting how far into detail we can all go with our speculations......and we're probably all wrong...myslef included.... Anyhoo.... I've also been considering the idea that we're looking a specific individual that defied his contemporaries in his benevolence to humans and that's the guy we see at the falls. His race on the whole makes him somewhat of an anamoly...the crew finds that out in due course..... As to the pictograms, man was shown by this fellow where he came from and either they depicted that star map in reverence to him or they witnessed his punishment and they depict it as a warning Shaw and Halloway obviously miss.... Just a few thoughts
