It must be said, it is getting very frustrating with the lack of imagination that some fans have between the link to Alien and Prometheus. Everyone seems to have wanted it on a plate. How about this for a suggestion. The Prometheus crew witnessed a hologram of the engineers escaping from whatever they were running from. You see a number of them make the gate before the last one gets decapitated. In the installation we see a load of engineers piled up with their chests showing internal injury. What’s not to say that one of the engineers that managed to escape made it to his spacecraft. Unbeknown to him he was also infected like the rest of the engineers found at the installation. Took off from the base. Whilst fleeing/returning home the alien starts to egress from his chest, as a result crashing on LV-426. He manages to send the warning signal. This signal is picked up years later by the crew of the Nostromo. The alien that left this engineer gave birth to the eggs which are subsequently found in the ‘derelict’. Kane and Ripley here we come. Does this explanation saisfy those that don’t get the link between the two films. My work here in done

And what of this " alien that left this engineer (which) gave birth to the eggs which are subsequently found in the ‘derelict’ "...? Would tie in nicely with the Queen already being on LV-426 in Aliens, laying her eggs all over the place ;)

Didn't they say in alien the ship they discovered was there and fossilized for thousands of years? Over 2000 in fact? So wouldn't that have had to happened already long before the events we see in Prometheus? Am i missing something? I believe this movie is a tangent that intersects but is not interwoven with the alien movie and events. The alien we see is purely for the fanboys and I doubt we see another. This is a new story about back goo and engineers, that's all. This is not going to fit together like the 2 star wars trilogies. People need to understand that. This is all new, and more intriguing imo, material that can go anywhere now. The "link" to alien was just meant to say it's in the same universe and related. We will never see the scene everyone wants to see with the engineer (space jocky) strapping in and boom...chest explosion. If we do, it will be in a movie called aliens rising, or rise of the xenomorphs, or Mrs. doubtfire 2.
