The new trailer showing the black oil flowing on the floor of the derelict is curiously similiar to the alien black oil in the X-Files mythology. As I recall the X-Files oil entered a human via the mouth or eyes and took over the body basically making the human a host for the alien. In the Prometheus trailer FiField looks like he is the host for the Cobra Xeno. Similar mythology?

The oil seems to be coming out of the urn.

Safe? Of course he isn't safe, but he's good!

I think the black oil is just a substance that the snake thing swims through...the other material that pools in the one shot is related to those tiny black jumping bean looking things David is interested in...

I agree and the big hole in the floor with the trenches going towards it is a drain for the oil.

Looks like the urns exploded, they show black oil? Also same black stuff can be seen when David pulls out the content of the urn on the ship.

Yeah, the dancing black debris David smiles at, [i]is[/i] intriguing. It could be vibration, electromagnetics, a gravity effect....Sj jumping xeno beans.......who knows? This movie is going to be so awesome. I really don't think anyone will enjoy it more than the old-timers. ;-)

i just read a theory, that the cobra-hugger (new iconic moniker - love it) evolved from the black liquid that seems to have oozed out of those damn mysterious urns meaning, the liquid is self evolving, it does remind me a bit of the great X-Files: Fight The Future @artyoh: i am one of those old-timers, and i am in TOTAL awe of this new film, my heart pounds faster with every new and cool image i see, and yesterday was no exception

OMG that's spooky. I just posted that I thought it really find it resembles the black oil on a separate thread. It really does... Click-->[url=http://youtu.be/gcpnrZ9sDxo]X-Files black oil[/url]
