MemberOvomorphApr-05-2012 9:27 AMyou are most welcome, bugs the crap outta me that I can't get the rest of that image to upload for you guys to a pic hosting service, it just stops at 94% everywhere I try. If you are at work or just cannot access the site now check em out later...some of the images are just absolutely mind blowingly beautiful.

MemberOvomorphApr-05-2012 9:32 AMsame thing with the pictogram of the cave painting, only uploads on hosting services to 94%, I won't even bother check it out for yourselves. It's worth it.

MemberOvomorphApr-05-2012 9:41 AMI like the idea of a hive. But I can't see it being a xeno hive, maybe the 'progenitor' to the species. I think what they find is the home world of the Engineers. But they have envolved to such an extent that they live for thousands of years but cannot breed effectively anymore. Through genetic problems their species is slowly dying. The temple / hive / mountain may be like a 'termite mound' and the humans stumble accross this, which is either some sort of weapon that the Engineers are harvesting or a scientific study that the Engineers are undertaking to harness the 'reproductive' and 'growth' of the progenitor to the Xenomorph. Obvioulsy something goes wrong........

MemberOvomorphApr-05-2012 10:04 AMIn the trailer we can see that that painting is located in Scotland (we see it twice: the first time in loco, and the second time when Holloway does the briefing). And now this picture points at China.
Plain mistake or hint to something else?
Ridley Scott will eventually tell us how the Queen was born.
Right now we have the Deacon; coming soon the Mercury, the May and the Taylor.

MemberOvomorphApr-05-2012 10:10 AMEXACTLY! LIKE A TERMITE MOUND! No, I did not mean it was a Xeno hive ala 1986 Aliens, but that this is something that came before it, and it became the "overlord" after conquering or eclipseing something else on this world.
I believe there actually are some species of African Termites or Ants that battle each others hives...and then the "victors" in a sense enslave the other different species and basically use them as worker drones or such... Forget if is was the Termite or Ant.

Reminds me again of the Outer Limits Modern Day Series Premier "The Sandkings" !!!

MemberOvomorphApr-05-2012 10:51 AMIt looks like a termite mound indeed!
I love the homage to Alien on the displays of the Prometheus.
In Alien we see something similar when Ripley sets off the self destruction.

Or have they programmed the Prometheus to detonate when they ram into the alien ship?

MemberOvomorphApr-05-2012 10:59 AMThose pillars remind me of the ones he used in Legend and Bladerunner.
Not forgetting the pyramids of Tyrell Corporation, there are numerous images which Ridley seems very fond of having in his films.

MemberOvomorphApr-05-2012 11:07 AMOh.. I just realized..
You can see the "Jockey" vessel though the bridge canopy in that one pic.
I assumed when I first glanced at it that it was a scene from when P. is first setting up its initial landing on the planet.
So then I guess everyone is still at their stations moments before the "suicide run" and then jump into their emergency ejection capsules?.

MemberOvomorphApr-05-2012 11:07 AMJust look at the thing wiggling, Man it is soooooo damn exciting to me to find out what that actually is and if it is as I suspect the beginnings of the original Xenomorph Life Form Dallas et al met their fate with.

MemberOvomorphApr-05-2012 11:52 AMThis is a fantastic rampup to the movie...obviously they'll open a new "sphere" each week until the release date, which is of course on a thursday midnite (to correllate with today being thursday)...
GREAT and exciting stuff...

MemberOvomorphApr-05-2012 11:54 AMWow an intergalactic advent calender for alien freaks it doesn't get better than that.

MemberOvomorphApr-05-2012 12:26 PMWell, however this movie turns out, I dont think that anyone can deny that VISUALLY, it is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!! ( Guess its obvious what $150 mill. buys! )
If if turns out to be a GREAT movie, I can see it getting an Academy Award nod for Art Direction at the very least.

MemberOvomorphApr-05-2012 12:38 PMThe shot with the Ampules (Pods) ... looks more like a proper Armoury now :) ... that's a nice 'clean' shot of that scene ... loads of detail ... so that is the HIVE shot then? ...

MemberOvomorphApr-05-2012 12:38 PMIn the new ampule picture it looks like some ampules are stacked and loaded in the wall chutes. We've seen these wall structures all over over the place. I think these mounds are some kind of factory, warehouse and loading dock for the ships. Maybe ampules are created in one area, stacked and stored in another and then loaded onto the ship all via these chutes.

NO... By HIVE, I meant this one...

MemberOvomorphApr-05-2012 1:02 PMI'm wondering if the derelicts are some kind of Ark. The ampules could be storing the genetic materials, personalities, history of the SJs maybe? Maybe humans are like the canaries in the mine? When we have advanced sufficiently to reach the SJs on the progenitor world, they know that Earth is ready to "harvest" and colonize?

MemberOvomorphApr-05-2012 1:11 PM@Phil ...
Yeah but I meant those Ampules are the 'Larvae' of somekind, in the hive layout ... that Ampule shot is not necessarily in the ship ;) ...
Sh!t ... what if some species can fly :) ...
