"My theory is that, that..."Croissant", I've called it a, "Croissant", the Ship//and...I thought it was a Battleship. It was a [i]Carrier[/i] - I always thought it was a [i]Carrier.[/i] What is it? Why?... People say, 'Is it a building?' I said, No. It's a vehicle..that [i]doesn't[/i] look like it crashed - it looked like it may have forced landing, but it [i]landed[/i]. And, um...[i]why[/i] did it land and [i]why[/i] was the Pilot, damaged? Because [i]that[/i]...his [i]cargo[/i]...had - [i]something[/i] had got loose..in the cargo: had [i]evolved[/i] and had actually taken him, out. And so, what could that be?.. And therefore - like, all that technology, in any technology, whether it's Millions of years past, or Millions of years in the future, they'll always have a Distress Signal. [b]So, had he set up a Distress Signal, that, we - in our 20th Century/21st Century electronics - had caught up [with] technology which was a [i]Million[/i] years old,[/b] and said, "Gee, what's that, uh...thing? We should land...". OK?... And; that was the genesis of Alien 1...“. - Ridley Scott, [to Geoff Boucher], April 2012. My questions are these: If Ridley Scott's statement, [b]emboldened[/b], is the fact, would that statement not undermine every presently held conclusion, assumption and discussion regarding the origins of the xenomorph, for example? Would it not, also, force a fundamental questioning of most current speculation about the order of events, the role of Humanity in those events and the likely sequence of events and history in the wider Story? Would it not, with the economy of a single sentence, reset almost the entire discussion surrounding Prometheus and this Universe, practically back to zero - and also, effectively, slam the door closed on any direct link with what we saw in Alien, it's likely appearance in Prometheus, what we imagine is the role of the Space Jockey - and most of everything else, that, up until now, we may have thought we knew?
