April 23, 2012I don't have time to translate the entire article now, but this seemed relevant to me on the SPECULATION front. Others may have seen this or something similar to this already, but this—stated so explicitly—was a bit new for me:

[i]Lindelof también quiso afirmar que esta película funciona independientemente de las demás y se puede ver por si sola. “Ridley ha hecho muchos comentarios durante el desarrollo de este filme acerca de cómo conectarlo con la serie original de Alien o su relación con Space Jockey, por ello parte de la diversión al mirar la película va a ser ver cómo intentamos hacer todas esas conexiones. Pero no creo que ninguno de nosotros hubiera hecho bien su trabajo si esta película no se aguantara por si sola. Si eres un fan de las originales, hemos dejado huevos de Pascua en varios sitios para que puedas encontrarlos. Pero la idea de conectarla por completo, de una forma increíblemente profunda , podría despojar a la película de su originalidad. Tal vez hay una manera de conseguir ambas cosas o al menos esa era en parte la intención inicial.”[/i]
Lindelof also wanted to reaffirm that this film functions independently from the others and can be seen (watched) on its own. “Ridley's made many comments during the development of this project about how to connect it with the original Alien series, or its relationship with the Space Jockey character. On that front, part of the enjoyment of watching the film is going to be how we intended to make those connections. But, I don't believe that any of us would have ended up doing our jobs well if this film couldn't hold its own. If you're a fan of the originals, we've left Easter eggs in various locations for you to find. But, the idea of making a complete connection, in an incredibly profound way, could have robbed this film of its originality. Perhaps there is a way to achieve both things, or at least in part that was our original intent.”
