Ridley Scott Ends 33+ year debate over Derelict & Eggs !

I believe that the alien that got the SJ died not long after. The queen in the movie Aliens originated from the infestation caused by Newt's dad (well Burke's irresponsible request to have it checked without giving any warning of potential bio-organism danger).

and all i got left to say is this...[b]BOOOOOOOIYAAAAAAAA[/b]

Very cool!!So of course,the next question/mystery is what happened to the initial creature that came out of the SJ? Also,is it the Queen in Aliens?

Good. Because i never liked the Idea that the egg chamber would Not be part of the derelict. somehow the SJ was unaware and got infected by one facehugger And died through the chest bursting. I can only imagine that that alien must have been bigger than the Ones using human to breed.

and thus the size of the hole on the side of the hull! "SnorkelBottom" is going to freak out !!!

WOW! Finally an official response from the hand of Ridley, thanks for posting it Spartacus! and I hope to see this xeno / jockey is Prometheus, would be truly EPIC!!!

however now he have to show that .... otherwise remain a Ridley speculation made after the movie . Prometheus witll give us the facts too ? We will see ... he said too much to leave unanswered questions ...

I watched the interview but it was "NightRiderLoveProvider" that gave us all the link I just watched the interview thoroughly and noticed what everyone else apparently did not in that thread. It's about halfway through! And he clearly ended the debate forever!!! KUDOS "LOVEPROVIDER" !!!

This has been my stance ever since I first saw it. I'm glad I was on the right side of the debate. The only thing I didn't know for sure was whether it was "crash" or "forced-landing" not knowing how much abuse the derelict could take in said situation.

FINALLY.. Goddamn that man took his sweet freaken' time to fix some loose ends... Also, good to know the SJ sent the distress signal. *(Oh and look at the red suit in the background! :P)

the whole thing is so wonderful to finally know for sure. I am glowing with Joy.

*comforts little Spartacus*

i am so happy I am ready to embrace the fact that he implied indirectly that there are more than one derelict ship! I may have been wrong about there being only one and I don't care I am so happy !!! [b]wrong wrong wrong spartacus Hooray[/b] !!!

I’m glad this is the case because it syncs with the reality of the the way the space was designed and the "moisture barrier"/"warning system" in which the laser light is a factor in 1979. Someone had said earlier that Ridley referred to the eggs as "cargo" in a making-of video. I'm very pleased that this is the backstory. It also points to the Engineers as "fallible," which I find very refreshing. It seems possible to me that the SJ might have know that s/he had been impregnated and was rushing somewhere to seek a remedy as well. Does anyone recall if Kane completely remembered what had happened to him in terms of his having been used by the face hugger? Is it possible (or even canonical) that the hugger secreted something that affected his short term memory so that he may simply be disoriented after the hugger crawled off and unaware that there was a xeno embryo inside him? Certainly Ash knew. But, did Ash ask Kane outright if he remembered anything? I've ordered that blu-ray, but it won't be here until 01 May.

Yeah, I figured the huge space was [i]supposed[/i] to be part of the ship, because it had repeating structural elements....... but where they entered at the center of the "croissant," also never seemed to jive with the directon in which the space curves around to the right, [i]then back to the left[/i] in background. It always seemed to me, it should only have curved back and to the right........but then again, all that empty hollow space also doesn't jive with the apparent configuration of the "croissant" in "Prometheus."

No, Kane never did, all we got from him was that he remembered..."Some Horrible dream about smothering"

@sukkal I bumped this topic so you could reply easier! I answered your question I think.

I'm glad to see you're not so horrifed by that two ship concept anymore Spartacus...you were very Hulk like in your anger...

Time to watch the original. Again :-P

bumped for Craigamore.
