What the Plot SHOULD have been - by editing the wikipedia plot

Hope this is on Spoiler board....... If not... SPOILER - - - - - Yes i did feel on one hand, had that Engineer been able to get free and walk about... (like how Kane could after the Face Hugger Came Off)... If he then got back to his ship and attempted to chase down David and Shaw..... but then he got Chest Bursted and landed on LV 426 this would give as link to Alien to shut the door..... we could assume that the Proto Xeno then uses the stuff in the Urns to created Eggs..... and lay them etc. But what if Ridley indended the Xeno to had been on LV 426 for thousands of years... that would not go with the ending... What if Ridley wants to explore that new Xeno, by having Weyland Corp send out a recovery mission to LV 223 to find out why they never hear off Weyland or Vickers etc.... - - - - END SPOILER.

YEs i see your point ...linking the good parts more directly to alien ...and i agree totally ( i would also removed all weyland and vickers parts to leave more room for that )

Do you not think that its possible that, as with Humans, there are good and bad Space Jockeys? Thats why one Space Jockey - ironically the ship carrying him didn't look to be a derelict - created us, and another lot wanted to destroy us? Good and Bad Gods? Maybe that's what the sequel will explore?

Actually. Let me edit my ending slightly. Hey guys, after being ever so slightly disappointed with the way Prometheus played out on screen, here is my version of how the events should have played out by editing the plot on wikipedia. Hope you like it. In the distant past, the spacecraft of an advanced humanoid alien race arrives on Earth. One of the aliens injects a dark liquid into a group of apes, causing them to become pregnant—seeding Earth with the first Humans. In 2089, archaeologist couple Elizabeth Shaw and Charlie Holloway discover a star map among the remnants of several otherwise unconnected cultures. They interpret this as evidence of humanity's forerunners. Peter Weyland, the elderly founder of the Weyland Corporation, funds the creation of the scientific vessel Prometheus to follow the map to the distant moon LV-223. The ship's crew travels in stasis while the android David monitors their voyage. In 2093, the ship arrives, and its crew are informed of their mission to find the ancient aliens, called "Engineers". Mission director Meredith Vickers orders them to avoid any direct contact and return if the aliens are found. The Prometheus lands near an alien temple. A team including Shaw, Holloway and David explores the temple, while Vickers and Captain Janek monitor their progress onboard the ship. They find several ampoule-like artifacts, a monolithic statue of a humanoid head, a mural of a Xenomorph and the corpse of a giant alien, thought to be one of the Engineers. Other bodies are later found and the species is presumed to be extinct. David secretly returns an ampoule to the ship, while the remaining ampoules begin leaking dark liquid. An approaching storm cuts the expedition short, and the crew is forced to return to Prometheus. Botanist Milburn and geologist Fifield are separated from the expedition and stranded in the temple. In the ship, Shaw and medic Ford analyze the Engineer's head, and discover that its DNA is almost identical to that of the human species. Meanwhile, David investigates the ampoule and discovers a dark liquid substance. He intentionally infects Holloway with the substance. Later, Shaw and the infected Holloway have sex. In the temple, Milburn discovers a secret cavern hidden behind the Xenomorph mural. Inside is a fossilised dead Engineer chained to a wall with a large hole in his chest and surrounded by large eggs, one of which opens up to release a snake-like creature which attacks him. Milburn runs back into them temple room, Fifield cuts the creature off but it releases acid which melts Milburn’s neck killing him and melts Fifield's helmet, exposing him to the dark liquid leaking from the ampoules. The crew return to the temple and find Milburn's corpse. David discovers an uncharted room containing a living Engineer in stasis and a star map highlighting Earth. Elsewhere, Holloway's infection rapidly ravages his body, and he is rushed back to the ship. Vickers refuses to let him onboard, and burns him to death at his own request. A medical scan reveals Shaw is pregnant, despite being sterile. A desperate Shaw uses an automated surgery table to cut a Xeno-like creature from her abdomen. Weyland is found to have been in stasis aboard the ship, and explains to Shaw that he intends to ask the Engineers to help him avoid his impending death. A mutated Fifield attacks the hangar bay and kills several crew members before being killed himself. Janek suggests the planet was used by the Engineers as a military base until they lost control of their biological weapons; David explains that the Engineers came to earth to create a beast to eradicate life on Earth and build again, the Human Race, but had failed. In their aim to create a more powerful beast to eradicate humans they had accidentally unleashed it on themselves. The remaining crew return to the temple and awaken the Engineer. David explains their situation to the Engineer, who responds by decapitating David and killing Weyland and Ford. Shaw escapes the alien ship as it is activated by the Engineer. The still-active David reveals that he does not have much time but that the Engineer is going to Earth to unleash the eggs on humanity. Vickers orders Janek to return to Earth, but Shaw convinces them to stop the Engineer ship by any means necessary. Janek chashes the Engineer ship into space while Vickers uses an escape pod. The Prometheus crashes into the Engineer ship in space which forces the Engineer to crash on the planet LV426. Shaw goes to the escape pod to retrieve supplies. Inside, she finds her Xeno-like offspring, which has grown to gigantic size, is feasting on the remains of Vickers. Shaw kills the monster and herself by blowing up a nuclear device on the escape pod that destroys all the temples. In the Engineer Ship on LV426, an egg is opened up by the force of the crash releasing a snake-like creature which attaches itself to the living Engineer. The End. The reason I prefer it to end like this is: a) because all Alien fans want to know how did the original Space Jockey ended up on LV 426. b) the Director gets to answer all the following questions: i) Who are we? ii) Where do we come from? iii) What is our purpose? c) it allows breadth to put in an indirect premise that links the two films, namely that after this the Weyland company is taken over by Yutani to create Weyland-Yutani which sends another expedition that investigates what happened to Prometheus using the report logs David made (I base this on the fact that in the other Alien films everything is logged on the Universal Cloud). But they did not know where the Engineer ship went or what happened to it. Therefore they place upgraded androids with more common looking androids, like Ash, onto the ships travelling through that section in the hope of finding the Derelict. This would explain how Ash knows what to expect. d) this ending also goes back to the horror elements of the original and puts to an end to the endless unanswerable questions.

LV426 = Lose. I wouldn't go see it. Anything that touches LV426 has a great chance of ruining the first movie then making it better. I am a fan of Alien. I don't want to know the Jockey story. Lots out there feel no need to know his story.
