Is it just me or is anyone else appalled by the complete lack of OSHA, CDC guide

Ridley...I hope you know what you're doing!

Touch the Alien goo. Yeah that's safe. I hope they make that the movie tag line.

Um David's a robot does he really need safety goggles? He's in a sealed lab so no contagion if any would escape and jeapordize the crews safety....

He is an inanimate vessel that CAN carry whatever this biologic substance is to the rest of the crew... and now....pandemonium.

geez dude chill out! its movie, just enjoy it

I agree MacroBot1234, that’s a logical assertion. However, I do think it’s fairly clumsy for David to accidently break the vile. It doesn’t seem to match what we been shown about his character thus far, but who knows? ~N

dAVID THOUGHT HE WAS DOING GOOD ,,,, bUT F#CK IT UP I DO THAT SOMETIMES

We don't really know David-8's motivation....I think he is 100% bad news for the crew. Weyland is directing him and trying to control Vickers as well. Charlie is an arrogant asshole. These truths I hold to be self evident.

David's like an oversized child. Just look at the way he sits on a chair, or how his eyes and face glow when he sees the holograms. He manipulates the ampule the same as a child would if he/ she were given something like it. It's not smart obviously and a little reckless but I think it's in David's character to be like that. Once we see the movie in its entirety, and not bits and scraps of footage, it'll be more clear

hey, if everyone was always afraid to try new stuff we'd be cavemen still. Most scientist i know would gladly sacrifice their own life to save others through trial and error. Plus i think Milburn and HOlloway are cock-sure d-bags so it's not that unlikely of an equation that someone would do something stupid in that scenario. I just keep wondering why Milburns smiling right before he gets bit.

Weyland "forgot" to put the trailer for [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvGcGjIc16I]Growth[/url] in the the crew training regimen.

I am slightly concerned, that the writers forgot the "Science Fiction" aspect and concentrated on the horror, action, and shock. I guess we'll find out soon.

Scott did say he wanted to scare the shit out of us. So I won't be disappointed in his faulty science. But if he keeps running around saying that this movie is based in reality and the majority of scientists out there think along these lines . . . then I will be laughing my ass off during the movie. So please, Ridley, quit the babble now.

there has to be SOP's against bringing stuff on board space transports. the ship crews should just dump scientists to poke around at their own risk. while the astro's wait in orbit. if things go wrong on the surface and everybody is a bloody carcass they can nuke em from orbit "just to be sure". Astro's should have a union. maybe a demountable module like the eagles have in space 1999 would be in order for this type of thing. :-)

Its a MOVIE...not real, Im sure we dont want to see peoples heads in fish bowls for the WHOLE movie as lovely as that seems

I kind of agree. A situation like this would be treated with more care than the worst disease breakout. The risks ate just too great. In fact they would probably only send in robots and probes from the safety of their ship. That doesn't make for a good movie though. I don't want to sit for 6 hours of scientific protocol, so one has to forgive the characters for being stupid. Don't we all do this for more movie characters? Even in Alien... No way that guy gets back on the ship with an alien parasite. I don't care what the company says. Assuming he does, he's in a permanent isolation cell probably for the duration of the mission, until home is reached, or it's 100% proven that nothing is contaminated. I'd be like "ok it just fell off your face.". Ummm to may questions about what the facehugger was doing on your face after jumping out of an egg for me to eat dinner with you, or even be in the same room. But I guess the reason for this caution, is precisely because of movies like alien!!!!!

LOL Ncc

Furthermore, what kind of moron breaks open ampules/capsules that, clearly are not man made and totally unknown, just to get at the stuff inside AND USE YOUR BARE, UNGLOVED< NO SAFETY GOGGLES< NO VACCUUM HOOD ENCLOSURE!!!! REALLY????!!! C'MON! This makes it almost comedy instead of a scifi horror flick!!!![/quote] Shaihalud...Here s My 2 Cents on what you wrote...You're right now please remove yourself from the list of people who will be seeing this. You have obviously decided to go see this thing with a pre conceived agenda based on assumption and conjecture anyways, so I wouldn't want you to even be able to enjoy this thing at all even you if you decided to bless the world by gracing this movie with your presence. Oh and one more thing Might I suggest you Immediately present us all here with copies of the Last Science Fiction film you wrote, story boarded, created, captured on film, Directed, and Produced...cause I think at this point it;s the ONLY way your going to salavage any credibility for yourself. [b]LISTEN UP HOMIE...WHEN IT COMES TO CELLULOID...RIDLEY SCOTT "PWNS" YOUR ASS !!![/b]

Its called humour. This could be a fun discussion. "This isn't a rescue ship". Parker was right. Shai halud is taking the piss. I been watching sci fi for 35 years andand i always think of stuff like that. What are these people doing? They are all going to die. Laugh guys. Remember in space no can hear you scream.

And Fact...Parker farts while drinking coffee on the Nostromo right at the beginning of the film, deliberately too, did you know that?
