MemberOvomorphMay 21, 2012I just saw a tv spot during the most recent Saturday Night Live and I paused it when there was a new scene of what looks like Shaw repelling OUT of the alien ship (seemingly where those 3 central openings are) while the ship looks like it is parked flatly on the surface of the planet...

Thoughts?

"Other tidbits about "Prometheus" mentioned in the THR profile include the fact the film's "creatures" take on "at least four different forms as it grows and changes, sometimes 'organically' in a way that Rapace calls 'every woman's worst nightmare'"; that it was Damon Lindelof who insisted against an "Alien" prequel; that Rapace's character was initially named Elizabeth Watts but was changed to avoid confusion with Fox executive Emma Watts; and that other potential names for the space ship included Paradise and Icarus (oddly, also the name of the ship in Danny Boyle's "Sunshine") before they settled with Prometheus."

Its mentioned in a few other places aswell. Even if we assume Holloway getting her Pregnant then we have only seen 3 stages, so there is 2-3 stages left we have not seen, i suspect one between Baby to Tentcle Monster and one after...

4 different forms & 'every woman's worst nightmare all i can take from that is maybe shaw is pregnant with a normal human fetus it some how gets infected maybe by holloway or some other mutated crew member. So that would be one form the change growing into the Tentcle Monster small like the cheastbuster think we have seen that in the medpod? 3 & 4 well then the Tentcle Monster gets big. Then the next stage is anyones guess!

After the collision of the Prometheus into the Juggernaught the Prometheus and what remains of it has to force land too! The Juggernaught itself crash lands, Vickers and Shaw get out of the way until it lays down flat. Then attempt to go inside, then soon after the Space Jockey that was battling the Bio-Engineer somehow then gets aboard. The two women get out but David is there and remains. The Bio Engineer gets involved somehow and then a possible set of events play out now from here. This ship does become that of the Derlict in Alien and the mystery for us is in part solved. It might raise half a dozen new questions too.

Lambert to Dallas, "Something must be wrong with this new Weyland Yutani scanner. Dallas turns away from the SJ. "What do you mean Lambert." "Here give me that!" Kane grabs the scanner and adjusts the controls scanning over the massive reclining figure. "She's right Dallas, this thing is indicating human DNA, let me see if I can lock it down." Moves closer to the puncture in the ribs of the long dead figure. "It's definitely human DNA inside there." Kane indicates down inside the suit. "How is that possible?" Dallas looks at Lambert and then Ash. "Let's get the hell out of here!" Lambert shivers visibly her suit lights dancing across the walls of the chamber.
I do not even want to contemplate the possibility....

I am going to play the devils advocate.
I think Shaw is repelling out of the ship. When you climb a rope to get into a area above you your body placement is under the lip and you reach up and pull your self in. In that Picture Shaw is in the perfect placement to start to repel out and down.
I think the Ship is lying on its side as it has been as it was stored under the ground, we have seen in the trailers Janek say its a ship and the holograph image shows the ship on its side like this picture. We are seeing the ship come above ground and begin the process of starting up to leave.
Shaw has gone back to the ship to get something, David? I think she may take something with her, navigation device? this is what leads to the blue guy chasing her into the prometheus or life boat.

@Mostly
As I mentioned in my original post, the shot is of Shaw repelling OUT of the ship. The clip in motion certainly confirms this. As you can see she is also carrying a bag... this is curious because there is a freeze frame SOMEWHERE on this website of Shaw jumping OUT of a human vessel with a bag in hand. It looks to be the SAME bag she is carrying as she is leaving this alien craft. So perhaps she is returned something the crew stole from the alien ship?
Who knows? June 8th hurry up!!!

They have gone into the alien Juggernaught before it is powered up and takes off. Look in the background at the top left hand corner, it is the Hammerhead 'arm', depending on your point of view - and the top right is the Sail-Fin. They are both near to the ground as it has not been powered up yet, it is still inside the temple-like hangar bay. On the other hand they could have discovered the Derilict upon LV 426 too! Just they somehow never got facehugged for whatever reason. Maybe THEY are the ones who remove the hatch that leaves the gaping hole the the Nostromos crew find and Kane goes into. Maybe this crew simply didn't bother to investigate down there and chose to head up to the Hammerhead section to conduct their investigation instead. They may have gone up intp the Sail-Fin section to look around and that is what this film will explore. It gives us the chance for a second, more detailed search of the apparant Derilct ship, or at least one design that is very similar in overall shape to the Derilict ship; in other various areas that were not permitted screen time due to the overall length of the film
I read reports from various other sources that somehow the eggs that are found in the Derilict when the Derilict was 'alive' and active they some how came out into those sections they were found in by Kane like a factory conveyer-belt. They were some how grown out of those bone-like recesses they were found in except by the time Kane sees them the 'factory' has shut down and either went into a suspended animation of its own or this is its bio-mechanical version of 'rusting up'.

Yes thats a good spot....
But also in some scenes of the Orrey room when the Chair is raised there is also a simular looking Bag.....
She apears to be repelling out of the Derelict, so its not a case of taking something back, but going inside to take something out....
Maybe the scene of her jumping out of the Lifeboat is after these scenes, as when the Derelict has taken off and gets hit by Prometheus its safe to assume Shaw is on the surface empty handed, when she and Vickers are running away from the falling Derelict and Debris she again is carrying nothing.

I remember reading that one of the crew from prometheus steals a source code for terreforming from the space jockey engineers which causes them to release the alien bioweapon on the prometheus crew? then the crew somehow turns the weapon against the jockey's, creating a much smarter and, um perverted alien. I think I remember reading that RS at least said that a smarter, perverted alien is created by coming from space jockey's.... I am not positive on this...

I agree with sean. There is proof of the movie being a prequel all over the trailer. did any of you see the xenomorph on the ceiling? it was either a live one or a mural but it is in the movie none the less. if you pay close attention to the trailers you can catch a glimps of it. as far as the actual alien of the film, it's a creepy snake thing that resembles those nasty aliens in the Dreamcatcher movie...
