In a new yet desperate effort to explain the unexplained (not sure what kind of passion drives me :)).....here is another point of view...well not the plot, but maybe something to add to it...hmmm.Here it goes: Remember the good ol' fog in the 1979 film, that used to cover somehow and protect the eggs? I am sure you do!John Hurt must have for sure! Well it somehow covered the eggs and when somebody or something moved through it, it reacted to motion...actually made sounds of proximity alert, like those used by today's cars! Another contribution of sci-fi films to the world!.... That would either mean two things: 1) "Hey guys...there's a new kid in town...let's host him!". A trap.I am sure you know what I mean. 2) "Hey guys...wake up...there's a new threat for our egg-plant.Let's disable him". Simply instinctive protection mechanism. No trap. I am sure you know what I mean again. So the eggs would reamain unresponding if the fog wasn't there to trigger them somehow and alert them to the presence of other beings around. So we all wondered back then: "Are these natural beings?" Nobody would have thought then, not for an instant, that these things could have been engineered and not being natural creatrures. To tell the truth...nobody really cared. We were all stunned. We just accepted them as what they were. There it is again..lost in my thoughts. Sorry! Ok, back to the topic. So certainly these eggs were not planted in there by themselves. Someone else did it.We perceived the mechanical surroundings as proof that these were somehow in he domain of the derelict spaceship and the sj. What was that guy doing there? Did he created the eggs and layed them carefully in the cave below the ship? Did he find the eggs and covered the entrance to the cave with the ship. For one, we weren't sure if this was a derelict or just landed there.Whether it was a weapon or not? Nobody cared. Whether it was a survival defense mechanism...sure. It was all in the fog. Had to be something with a piece of technology producing it. So the eggs were either planted there and protected by the fog. A defense mechanism. For what reason though? Well, the overall impression left by the film, was that the eggs were under control of the sj, and that this fog kept them alive and numb. They would not evovle in the eggs to something else. They were somehow in hybernation by the fog. The unlucky visitor who would disturbed the fog would wake them up to do whatever we show. And apparently this sj guy somehow got impregnated or let himself get impregnated to watch their life cycle..but as possessing superior technology managed to figure out the outcome, soon enough, just enough to allow him to send the distress signal...remember? Warning...not distress signal. "Don't land here you...or you'll suffer the same fate as i have". Also the structure in the cave with the eggs, shows that the sjs had already a base there, laid the eggs there and the ship was in direct communication with the entrance of the cave. Or found the eggs there and meticulously crafted a structure throughout the cave to study or keep them. Which leads us to the following conclusion:"We are the Gods now..." umh...sorry.Got carried away...It proves that there was no derelict!No force landing...no damage apparent in the alien ship on LV-426. It was a totally full base camp of the sjs like the one we show on Prometheus trailer...This is a normally landed in tact sj spaceship. Just the control was lost at some point...But this guy also seemed very lonely. Perhaps one was enough for running an entire planet base. Who knows?. Well I have solved no mysteries.Just following clear thinking. And based on solid data from the first film. Just hoping that you will have fun reading this and find it inriguing. Tell me what you think. I will elaborate and develop this theory some further at some time. Thanks guys.

You realise you're thinking about this at least 10 times harder than the people who made the films ever did? Thus rendering it all a bit pointless....?

I reckon Ridley is actually following the rest of the franchise to a point.....i mean, it was Cameron that brought us LV426 wasnt it? Unless im mistaken, in Alien they just called it a baron planetoid, im not sure now im thinking about it lol.......who came up with LV426? Anyway, Ridley is calling HIS planet LV223.......but at least it does have an LV in it. So it seems that it could be a different planet.........and there are at least 4 to choose from in Zeta Reticuli isnt there? Would explain the differences in landscape and climate.

you are wrong sorry to say, they Landed on LV-426 in Alien as well. Hadleys Hope was Built on the same planet The Nostromo Landed on. Edit: Also if you look carefully In Alien as they approach LV-426 you can clearly see their are several satellite planets in that same system. "223" and "426" being two of them I presume and logic would dictate.

Just my thoughts on the fog, but more so, on the eggs. In Aliens, the queen alien was pumping out eggs toward the end of the movie, I figured like a chicken lays eggs. I always thought the original crashed ship was over run by one of the adult aliens, like the original movie, and eggs were subsequently laid on the ship to catch future hosts only for a way to multiply. No trap or defense mechanism, just a way to multiply. The dead sj was a victim, maybe the first victim, who hosted the first alien which started the process of proliferation of the eggs on the ship. The crew never explored the ship, there was probably a big gathering of crew members similar to Aliens and the settlers. I always thought the alien creature lived to protect and multiply - grow in a host, hatch, kill threats, and cocoon other hosts.

The derelict is not sitting on a cave. The carvernous egg-cargo-hold is part of the ship. " INTERIOR EGG ‘CAVE’ – 39.6 m (130’) high SPACE JOCKEY CHAMBER – 12.2 m (40’) high From evidence in Alien, we're lead to believe (from the way it was filmed) that the trio went in and then turned left to get to the Space Jockey. However when you look at Giger's drawings it's probably more likely that a tunnel goes straight from the ingress holes to the Space Jockey room, seeing that from the exterior designs the aft end of the ship has a large circular shape. ... Having said that there must be more of the ship underground. My calculations indicate the egg cave must be at least 130 feet high. The ingress holes are about 18 feet high. We can see about 110 feet of the derelict above ground where Dallas, Kane and Lambert enter. They climb up (at least 6 feet) to the Space Jockey room which is at least 30 feet high. So internally we've got at least 170 feet, which indicates there is at least 60 feet of the Derelict buried. " [url=http://time.absoluteavp.com/alientech.html]Source[/url]

didn't we dig up something in here this morning about Lava?...it is resting on a lava base of rock, recently and violently erupting volcanic rock this LV-426 apparently was intended to be..

I think everyone misses one point with the space jockey scene in Alien. The hole Kane descends into was an acid burned hole. So, I've always wondered about the bomber theory. It just seemed the alien got out of control and took over the ship.

My thinking is that RS will somehow address this at the very end of Prometheus - that being....."What went awry on LV-426's derelict"

Ash also called the planet primordial. So, it was only a half baked terraforming effort.

Half baked but Fractally expanding?
