Apologies if this was already mentioned or discussed (I performed a quick search, but could not locate), but Weyland site's timeline mentions the following: "DISCOVERY OF ACHERON LV-426 Weyland astronomers discover multiple moons and a ringed planet just outside the Zeta 2 Reticula System, which are possibly able to support life. Weyland expects to travel there within the century. May 14, 2039" I didn't notice this before or must've glanced over it. Two things strike me about this. For one, they acknowledge existence of LV-426 during what appears to be prior to the Prometheus mission. Secondly, they are refering to it as "Acheron" - I could definitely be wrong on this, but I only recall the term "Acheron" being referenced in Aliens, not before. If that is the case, then is this a specific acknowledgement of the validity of the Aliens chapter?

It was mentioned in A.1 but it was on the READOUT of the CRT display that Lambert was using, I don't think they ever "Said" Acheron, or anything, but it is definitely referenced in the original movie in that way.

Interesting point...They also use the company name "Weylan[b]d[/b]", also referenced in Aliens (In alien, it is called "Weylan").

Have you heard of phoenix asteroids? They glow in every color of the rainbow...they travel endlessly through space...

If anything Ridley may...may...be willing to validate some of Aliens and maybe even Alien 3, other wise he is aware the rest of the movies are pointless shit and will probably refuse to validate them or use them as "cannon" in any sense

shame - i was hoping for Predators running around for 20 mins at the end and generally being a bit shit. Maybe hes saving that for the second film along with David's bad translation of SJ speak (with hilarious consequences)

Prometheus 2: Prometheur will take place in an underwater prison planet, complete with indistinguishable, bald white guys, and reveal how the alien learned to become such a graceful swimmer. The movie will raise the bar for the franchise by introducing the super super facehugger, the king alien, the termalien, and the Stillborn. We will be introduced to the members of the Offworld Android Fraternity - Ellen, Francis, Gordy, Helena, Ignatio, Jasper, Karen Carpenter, Luigi, and Maybelle. In 3D TruMotion Scan and Pan LieMax
