Do the Space Jockies/Bio-Engineers serve as a kind of metaphor for Weyland/Weyland-Utani Corp's future destiny in space? Are we seeing Weyland/Weyland-Utani's first dabblings with becoming 'wanna-be Demi-Gods themselves, as the Sj's/Bio-Engineers did'? Were the Space Jockies once a corporational species/race as we are currently? With the urge of seeking out newly 'found' discoveries in engineering, bio-mechanichs, technology and sapce exploration as a whole? It raises the question if they were a societal 'people', then at what point did they cross-the threshold form a 'corporation race' as is 'Us' (Weyland/ Weyland-Utani) and set themselves upon the path of becoming for want of a better word: Demi-Gods? A term that is given to ancient man when he/she/they/us made the move from the savanah-plains and hunter-gatherer clans in caves and tribes to villages and taverns to towns folk. From towns-folk to cities and from cities to empires, civilizations and cross-continental supremacies. Archeologists have stated that such a progress from any civilizations beginings be it humble to conquering one quater of the planet is called: 'Crossing The Great Divide'. It is interesting to think that the way in which Weyland/Weyland-Utani Corp conducts itself is very reminicent of what the SJ's went about their business and so we are seeng how along the way 'they' (SJ's) as us are having our emotions and integrity stripped away the more delving is done int the meddling of inter-species technology and experimentations. The Bio-Engineers/Sj's 'fall from grace' is a warning to what awaits Weyland/ Weyland-Utani's place in the cosnos. Much like Easter Island is a warning from human histroy and its impact upon nature as much as it is an eviromental warning upon the mis-use, mis-appropriation and squandering of limited resources. Please feel free to comment upon my thread out there. Thank you.

@Windood Great points - the law of unintended consequences right on target for this movie - Also, the containerization of cargo transport which is fundamental to Globalisation, but reveals (as your story point out) how much waste the system generates. Speaking of vanity space projects, check this one out: [url=http://www.economist.com/node/21553419]mining asteroids[/url] Connection to Aliens? James Cameron is involved!
