If The Xenomorph Is Millions Of Years Old....

one of a billion or more dormant species, IMHO...

The first four Alien films really just discuss the development of the Xenomorph but in Prometheus its nice seeing the origins and development of the Space Jockey. How are they born?, what is their purpose?, how are they created? This all goes back to the developmental stages of the xenomorph. What happens if the Space Jockey's aren't the core origin of the xenomorph? What created the Space Jockey's? So many many questions. I feel like Prometheus will open up a whole plethora of new doorways. I feel as though the Space Jockey's have more hidden then we realize. Different Bio-Weapons? A Space Jockey origin story? who knows. I the list could go on and on.

Not necessaliary. If a xeno evolved naturally then you assume that it evolved to suit its environment. That would imply that other life forms from that planet would be equally nasty. If they were created in a lab then chances are they were created to be vicious deliberately along with many other variations.

My suspicion is that the the Space Jockey, Xenomorph and Derelict are all genetically related...

I really don't want to see anything that remotely resembles a xenomorph. New stuff instead, please, Rids. And I also have no desire to learn anything about what happened to the specific derelict on LV-426. We already know all that we need to know about the fate of that particular space jockey. What happened to Kane subsequently explained what needed to be explained (i.e. the cause of that hole burst through the sj's chest). Whether that space jockey was travelling alone or with a crew, whether there was a wife and kids waiting at home and so forth...it all just seems irrelevant and uninteresting at this point. I most certainly do not want, either in 'Prometheus' or in a possible 'Prometheus II', a resolution that ties everything neatly together for the start of 'Alien'. And I am amazed that so many people do indeed seem to want just that.

Well thats your oppinion. But Ridley did say he did this movie to answer those questions, but he has gone and changed the plot so it can concentrate on more than the Xeno. I do think we will get a explanation about the Events of the Derelict on Alien, what details we may not know, we may not see how the Xeno and Eggs was created, maybe we would be told instead and i think we will see the Derelict on LV426 i think we will see something from the Alien Cylcle and maybe what become of the Pilot. But i think it would be shown in a flash back or a narative thats then put into a visualisation just like the Water Fall scene, i think that will apear but it is not set in the same time line as Prometheus mission and thus i think the explanation to Alien would be explained likewise, and the events of that Derelict happen a long long time before Prometheus lands on LV223. It would be like doing a movie about Mankind and then one small portion of that movie will show the Evolution from Ape to Mankind that missing link in the movie, but this part of the movie is a flash back to thousands of years ago and thus no Homorectus actually in movie set in current time.

The fact they said that maybe the Organism etc are Millions of years old, does not imply that the Eggs in Alien are such. I mean how old are the people on here? Average age say 40? Maybe not as Mankind could be like 30'000 years old or so. So maybe the Xeno and Jockey have been around for that long since their orginal creation but that dont mean the Derelict on LV426 has been there for Millions or years. How would the Eggs be kept under that mist for Millions or years, how can the ship transmit a signal for Millions of years. And if the Jockeys on LV223 never died out Millions of years ago, then how come they dont answer the warning becon left on LV426. Surely they could use some kind of weapon to wipe out the Xeno on LV426. There are a few problems with this movie and Alien. 1) How come Prometheus never picked up the distress call that Nostromo did? 2) How come Nostromo crew and the future expeditions to the System (Colony) never ventured or mention LV223. Certainly looks a better place to colonise than baron LV426 and surely if your out to find our origins to a Star System and one Moon/Planet has a signal you would go to that first would you not?

"How come Prometheus never picked up the distress call that Nostromo did?" OK, that is by far the single best argument I have seen on this site against the derelict having been there for a super long time. And I have no counter-argument to it. Though I would not be surprised if perhaps they do receive the transmission at some point during the movie. They never get around to investigating it because there's plenty of interesting things happening where they are. Maybe before things go completely to hell they send a status update back home mentioning this signal. Who knows? But now this is definitely going to be in the back of my mind when I watch the movie.
