just a thought it may have been posed before but not sure I assume the SJ or SJs are bio-mechanical or just bio creatures. Do they behave like humans and have emotions and doubts and ideas? Can they communicate with us (other than inform/ threaten)? Did they originate and evolve 'by themselves' like we have ( with maybe some help) ? Whenever I hear DNA I get the idea humans are programmed , therefore we are destined to 'a future' that is not predetermined but one not under our influence or control. I will find it unsatisfactory if the SJ(s) end up as non-feeling entities created by another life form - but then of course I would be fascinated to know about why and how that life form came to be. Maybe every living creature is a robot of sorts bio/biomech (don't know any real ones of the latter kind)

Well Sadly for many they are not going to be pleased... As they are just Humaniods in two layers of Bio-Mechanical Space Suits. The only disapointment for me is the inconsistancies in the movie as far as Scale goes... 1) Alien Ridley made a error in scale as you could tell Dallas etc was larger to the Space Jockey when they was close and looking at the hole, compared to how small they was when walking over (this was because they used Child Actors). Again these Inconsistant errors occur again in this movie... The Hollogram Jockeys apear to be about 8-9ft tall, The Jockey standing on his own walking to the chair apears to be nearly 9ft. I guess Ridley felt it would be more realistic for the actor who plays the Jockey to have a close up fight with Shaw and Shaws small height would still create the illusion of the Jockey being tall. However we can cleary see he is not as tall as the ships Doors and Celling which apear to be about 8-9ft.... So the SJ who attacks Shaw is about 7ft3"........ Maybe thats just nit picking...... So i can live with the aparent 12-15ft skeleton from Alien, just being a Humaniod in a Suit, but not the 12-15ft Space Suits contains a 7.5ft Engineer.

I always imagined the SJ's to be autonomous, of singular mind & purpose, without emotion but hugely advanced technically, which is a combination that scares the crap out of me.

They're probably really nice guys if you meet them socially.
