CURIOUS BLUE MAN

Actually if you look close at the landscape there are snow covered mountains in the distance. Not sure if they are going to replace them later or if they stay, this planet does not need to be terraformed. And the clouds and atmosphere look very earthlike except I guess you can't breathe the air.

I'm wondering if that might be his bio armor kind of disappearing so that he can get a good look at what the planet looks like being terraformed with his own eyes and feel....just my opinion.

To me the blue man (Engineer?) seems infected with the same source from the alien craft or technology pumping through one of the male struggling crew members sending tentrils through his veins as it is infecting him.Maybe he was contaminated during his course of duties on the ship and left on the planet in isolation as not to cause harm to his crew. Or maybe he's testing the biological stuff on himself, a renegade crew member. Or he may simply be dying and watching the effects, thus the need for new bodies (us) to carry on with his races DNA.

In the trailer we can see that the 'blueman' is undergoing some physycal changes. His skin tone is pale (not really blue) and resembles David's but without the hair. At the end of the trailer David says "Big things have small beginnings". Maybe embedded in his programming there's some kind of prime directive similar to the one Ash had in the original Alien film and he infects himself with a strand of Alien DNA as a means of carrying a sample within himself back to earth

Gotta lookat the clip again, it might be misdirection when the female charactersays the quote about a kings reign and then they die. Unless if it is a human or David becoming the new Kings,

@karstenphd It does look like the same kind of thing happening to one of the crew in one scene, and that crewman does not have a beard or tattoo on face and thus not Fifield. So maybe its connected, maybe for some reason that Blue Man has infected himself, or become infected with some kind of viral agent/organism? Maybe going back to the Myth of the Titans, this Blue Man is being punished, if you look at his skull he does have what looks like a burn or deep scar on his head that seem to either be withering away or the opposite and repairing itself. Its sure going to be a Mystrey, i would say that the Crew or David are not changing into the Space Jockey due to the size difference and how come there is a dead Jockey and two hanging on wall Jockey Suits in another scene.

Good point, in the trailer i'm trying to listen and see what they are not saying and showing,not what they are showing and saying ,or you basicly see most elements of the movie, no suprises. The space jockey is intriguing because there are smaller space jockey's, two of them in the frame on top of this page that says talk Prometheus. They are smaller and if space suits could possibly fit a human. The scene wherte some being is sittting in the space jockey chair and being strapped in in full regalia shows a being much smaller than the one found on the derilect ship, fossilized in alien, he appears to be half the size and possibly a different species or caste of space jockey/engineer, or possibly a human, or the synthetic David, since we do see him playing around in what appears to be the alien craft and manipulating the holograms as if he can control and understandtheir technology. Also as they are entering the chamber with the humanoid face, there is a huge space jockey/suit laying apparantly dead, decapitated with its head being studied by two women a few meters away, and possibly a whole slew of dead, skeletonized alien/space jockey beings laying against the waqs like they were massacred. There are definately two sizes of space jockey gear.

what if the blue guy is shaws baby? but rapidly growing like the xenos do in a sence, someone on the forums said it could be her baby and i agree. so him getting to know the surroundings etc would fit well, as both himself and the planet are changing i guess.

Well i did a cross reference of the Pilot Chair in Alien and Prometheus and guessed the size based on mesure of the Humans (Dallas) in Alien that the Chairs are 15-16ft long. When comparing this way i estimated the SJ in Alien to be 12ft and in Prometheus 9ft which fits in with what Ridley says they are. The orginal production team said the Alien Jockey was 15ft. So the Jockey in the Chair of this movie is still large and most likely the Blue Man in same scenes. The only scene i have problems with the SJ apear to be the scene where one is standing above Shaw as this bieng does not look evern 7ft let alone 9ft. Maybe its just the angles?

Well I posted a couple pics in an earlier thread that pretty much tell me David does get infected. To what end, we shall see. Good 'ole CSI teeth anaysis! (**Ugh, can't find the post, been looking for 13 min, just gonna repost the pics.) I am pretty sure this is David and he is screaming in pain covered in the goo. The teeth are identical, so It's gotta be Fassbender. [img]http://i39.tinypic.com/rsztd3.png[/img] [img]http://i40.tinypic.com/1zedund.png[/img]

sorry svanya, but the pic clearly shows the guy infected has stubble, David has none.
