I just watched this. Not like seeing the film but it was really cool. A lot of portions of the previous featurettes were in it, but there were some brief quick shots that leave me feeling like this will be exciting visually at a minimum. The Xeno prototype mural featured on the "Prometheus Trailers" header was shown. Shaw and Holloway walk up to it and it is only a few feet tall. The hammerpede (cobralien) is shown wrapping itself around Milburn's arm like a boa constrictor. Bladerunner fans will be happy as RS refers to David as a replicant. Speaking of David, he has a cool moment where he's futzing around with a keypad at a door, and Shaw asks what he's doing. He says he's trying to open the door just as it pops open with a blast of dust that gets all over Shaw and everyone. He kinda shrugs his shoulders like, "my bad". I get the impression he understands every bit of the language on the temple walls. It's supposed to be on HBO Go starting June 4 but I'm sure it will show up elsewhere before then. I do not have a DVR. It's worth seeing if you need one more little fix before next week.

@Outander; The second "Bishop" at the end of Alien3 is supposed to be an advanced android. He bleeds red blood so yeah, true. Apart from the timeline discrepancy, it makes sense. OHH! In the HBO thingy you see David hovering over Shaw while she is on a bed!

Bishop is Bae <3

@Svanya Weyland Industries earns patent number 9,158,239 for a chemical composition of classified properties able to almost perfectly replicate the biological features and texture of human skin. Only 7% of humans can recognize the sixth generation of David as a cybernetic individual.

BUT he isn't flesh, so how could he be a Replicant?? GAH! Replicants are supposed to be "more human than human" and impossible to differentiate from "real" humans. Oh well, I guess they had to start off robotty.

Svanya, The Bishop at the end of Alien3 is [b]not[/b][i][/i] an android. There's a number of threads on this elsewhere on this site which go into detail about it, with references to the original shooting script, the novelization, and interviews with the crew of "Alien 3" discussing that particular scene as well as the prosthetic makeup that was used on Lance Henriksen. At any rate, all the sources mentioned above (including the extended cut of the film itself, I might add) make it blatantly clear, without a shadow of a doubt, that the character at the end of Alien 3 is a real human being.
