Apologies in advance if any of this has been covered before. New to the Forum. 1) How much of the released footage do we think might be a dream sequence of Shaw? 2) Who else thinks Vickers is an android? 3) Is that the top of the 'big statue head' poking out of the big mound? 4) Does Weyland see himself as some sort of Messiah figure? Seriously, that whole 3 months into the year of our Lord line in the TED talk, the reputed 'ressurection' technology. Are we talking major religious overtones and themes here? Does he see himself founding a new world religion? Is that why the crew, we assume, believe he is dead, while he intends to 'resurrect' himself as an immortal? Whacky I know, but......... 5) Will we see more than 1 SJ ship in action? The shots of Prometheus crashing into the one in the sky. As it falls some smoke and flame can be seen trailing from the impact. In another shot there is no smoke/fire at that part, and the ship has a distinctly weathered look. Its almost like there's green stuff growing all over it, like its been sitting there a long time before it(?) tumbles over. Can't really get a decent look, but the other(?) ship seems pretty pristine with shades of grey just, or maybe its just me? 6) Is it the case that the xenomorph wasn't engineered by the SJ? Might it indigenous to Lv425 or whatever its called, even though the SJs may not be. In Alien, and therefore Aliens as well, there's all those eggs on the derelict. Why the need for the queen to be laying more for Aliens? Was the SJ stealing eggs and got careless for the events of Alien? Are the new 'aliens' SJ experiments on the Xenomorphs. I've lots of other ideas, but that's enough for now I think!

Where are people thinking that lots of this stuff could be some nightmare Shaw's experiencing? I'm not saying it's a bad idea, but I don't know where this possibility came from, as this is the second time tonight that I've heard something about stuff in this movie being a nightmare Shaw's experiencing. As for Mr. Weyland, it's been determined that he does have some sort of God complex, possibly a messiah complex, if both are one in the same to most people. I still think something happens to him in this movie, that maybe he a Space Jockey, thus achieving his status as a god, even if becoming a god means relinquishing everything he once was as a human.

@ CrazyDave In one of the trailers, can't remember which, I noticed David standing over Shaw who is in hypersleep. He's wearing some funky goggles and something on the display implies he cans see what she's dreaming. I'm not saying its all the nightmarish stuff, but some of the footage I believe maybe a dream.

1) hopefully none. 2)that, or a Yutani spy, or peter Weyland's granddaughter. 3)in a featurette it was revealed to be a skull in profile, like Giger's temple design for dune. 4)his ideas and what he is reaching for flies in the face of most religion, maybe he feels he can fill the vacuum. 5)in the landing clip i see lots of temples and places for ships to take off from. 6)i don't know if a bio weapon can be indigenous by definition. feel free to correct any of this if it's wrong, whoever is reading

@ Shaawluv:D I only recall it being referred to as a 'potential' bio-weapon, by Weyland-Yutani, who want the lifeform to develop as a weapon. The origins of the xeno are shrouded in mystery, and it behaves like any animal that kills, eats and breeds.

1) None, although the knowledge that there is a young Shaw credited means that we could see this on the movie. 2) I believed that Vickers would be and android herself, but not anymore. The great investiment in David8 probably means that it would be impossible to Weyland to keep the existence of other advanced android model in secrecy. 3) what @Shawluv:D said. 4) Weyland´s final role is a mistery to me. I suspect he´s going to make a mess. 5) I believe that there is only one Juggernaut on the movie. 6) Being repetitive but...I believe the xeno will be some kind of fusion between an human and it´s space suit, and that this will happen by accident.

I don't believe Vickers is a droid... I pointed out a few days ago that there's a clip of her and Janek on the bridge, and she's clearly smoking (there's smoke coming out of her mouth as she talks and she's stubbing out a cigarette). Unless of course, Vickers is a replicant ala Rachel, and she doesn't know? Didn't Lindelof mention a tie-in to the Bladerunner universe?
