The following possible theories are based on everything we've/you've all said before, put together. But really, don't read it unless you don't mind taking a chance on being spoiled. Ever notice that humans briefly go through a stage in embryonic development that looks like a tadpole? It's almost like we go through the stages of evolution in the womb. Well, what if you were a really big blue humanoid growing through that stage? You'd have to be operated out of a smaller person (your mother) before you became a giant baby and got so big you killed her, right? The question is: was your growth planned by you - i.e., you were a king once, died and want to be reborn - a re-start for a god? Or is it that a certain company wanted you to be reborn? So, let's get back to that "invitation"...It could be an invitation of sorts. What if the "we were so wrong" line refers to Shaw and Holloway believing that a multi-billionaire industrialist would ferry them across space with no other intent than to say hello to our grandparents. RS said this and Alien share DNA. Think about that puzzler. It's the biggest clue. He and DL also seem to believe that this film could branch off on its own, forming its own franchise, and that there are different elements to it. how could that be when everyone assumes it's a prequel...sorta? Well... We already know that different mutations come out of our visit to their ship... So, one possible answer: the alien in "Alien," while deadly, was but one species these guys had developed and stored, but not the only one. Its DNA is present in Prometheus, and is shared, but there are others. Here, it's not alone. The Nostromo crew just got really unlucky as to which Easter egg Kane picked. It could have gone another way... A different plotline.... as many as there are urns in that chamber... I don't think you're going to end up fearing and hating every alien these SJ's stored away. Unless they are all weapon-like, I think it's possible some may end up being ones you may actually cheer for, and the film could end up really beautiful. But that's my 2 cents.

I like your whole train of thought Silica because if Shaw's baby is a hybrid creature then it could have a mix of our evolutionary history and theirs (whatever that is). Who knows where the squid/eel traits came from, maybe it continues to grow that way because it's an evolutionary step we both kind of share, originally coming from single celled organisms in the oceans of worlds the Jockies terraformed. Maybe it becomes more like a jockey/human hybrid and keeps its aquatic traits and monstrous look because of the mixture.

Interesting take on things, we definitely have a lot of weird stages when the embryo starts developing, showing our evolutionary history. Maybe when they cut it out of Shaw it's really big, but not done developing yet and continues to change rapidly outside the body, showing what they're based on and their strange ontology. We get a mix of the amphibian/reptilian hindbrain and the bigger cortex of mammals along with the mid-brain that controls the fight or flight response. When we go through those earlier stages it shows that we're evolved from aquatic/amphibious creatures way the hell back that transitioned to mammals. We even have gills at one point which become part of our inner ears. The larynx is strange too, it starts in the back of your throat as something more like what a bird uses to make calls. Then as the embryo develops it travels down your throat and becomes a human voicebox, meaning we evolved a complex way of producing sounds that no other primate had. Which gave us an edge over even some of the other hominids: our ability to communicate more effectively and work together to pass on ideas about the world, tool building, hunting techniques etc.

We share with the other creatures on this planet as humans... Why? Because we rule. Politics and religion aside that is. I'm talking dna. Hopefully someday we will learn our truth before it is too late. Otherwise the dolphins will thank us for all the fish!

I think what you're all saying is what I always wondered or hoped was the key to some deeper meanings/visions/illusions behind Alien - and why it always seemed like the most authentic movie about 'alien life' to me. It's what intrigued me about the Jockey when I was a kid. Did it really grow out of the chair? Was the ship a huge organism? What are the secrets of life that it could be so varied and strange? I really hope we're going to get glints in the film of this kind of potential universe-expanding and truly alien stuff that will also reflect back on us and our development - or misdevelopment, as the case may be... : p Thanks for those great responses!

FREEZE!

Silica i agree with you, and have always felt this way about Giger's imagery. For example, a figure is stuck to a wall. What is that figure's purpose in life? Too be stuck to a wall? The Sj in the original Alien was a design. A thought. I can't wait to see what Ridley comes up with. Honestly, I'd love to see Giger direct a film! That'd be truely mind blowing!
