What did you think?....

MemberOvomorphMay 19, 20121136 Views24 RepliesIn the original trailers and some since, was this awesome scene where David was pulling something green and slimy from an ampule.
Now I originally thought it was some kind of face hugger type thing....or at least some form of life from which I thought mayhem would ensue.
SPOILER.....With recent trailers, we have seen that the green slimy things are actually vials of some kind....END SPOILER.
How do people feel about that? Disappointed. Intrigued. What did other people think when they first saw it?
Interested to know.

Intrigued. Its been discussed a lot. I rekon its the cause of all the probs. Somesort of dna changeing biotech.i rekon its more dangerous than the xenos cause there prob is no defence against it.scary stuff that mutates the crew.

Intrigued much.
If it was a facehugger I would be disapointed

Oringally yes i thought it was some kind of Organism, maybe 4 like sacks that each contained something simular to the Cobra or Leech/Tadpole Organism.
Its still not 100% what they contain, it does look like black substance but that substance could be microscopic Organism..... like a Black Sperm if you would.

And here is [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/4065]my theory on what that stuff is.[/url]
Safe? Of course he isn't safe, but he's good!

Intrigued, very much.
I would have been disapointed if it turned out to be a facehugger. Any other "organism" and I would have been happy, I don't want to see too much xenomorph action in this, and we still don't know what it is as BigDave said.

I do tend to agree that they contain some kind of catalytic DNA altering material/sperm. I'm interested to understand exactly what the delivery mechanism is for this agent. Also is it clear that the ship "does not" contain eggs? We know the structure known as "the temple" seems to hold the ampules. Are we sure that the ship does not contain the eggs as we saw in ALIEN?

Intrigued, most definitely.
Not only as a result of what we've seen very recently, but mainly intrigued as to when this scene plays out in the context of the complete movie.

These things David extracts from the urn are proper ampules, so it is very likely that the reference to ampules has always been to these objects rather than the canopic jars that contain them.
What amazes me most is that Engineers use ampules (snap neck to open)!
That's one serious piece of technology they gave us!
Ridley Scott will eventually tell us how the Queen was born.
Right now we have the Deacon; coming soon the Mercury, the May and the Taylor.

Honestly I must say that I liked...In fact, these ampules/whatever are frozen and perhaps before that had a more organic and viscous.
Also I prefer to see something different rather than something we all know very well.
I want to see a new movie with new monsters, new technologies and new scenarios and new end also. Just my opinion...

Ok, I know it's a laboratory but it seems that David is taking the urn of a fridge with ice cream, peanut butter, milk and beer LOL

I'm warming to the ampules.... I still hope we see some good linkage to ALIEN....I expect I'm hoping too much to see "eggs" or some linkage to them.
As for new monsters, I would be more than happy to see SJs. Please, please, please go and look at a still pic of the SJ in the original Alien and look at where the top of the head is in relation to the back of the chair, and how long the arms are. Then look at the pic of the SJ in the chair in Prometheus..... He's at most two thirds of the size..... Must be a man in a suit....

@aka NoXWard, man that was hillarious, I asked cantankerously the other day if the ''Big Head'' shaved ? This could be an expose on grooming habits of the ''Big Head'' !
