Man, there's SO much in this film that's left unexplained it really pisses me off. Like... 1)Why don't the Engineers have hair? 2)What do the Engineers eat? 3)Where are the restrooms on the Engineer's ships? 4)Why do they decorate so poorly? I mean c'mon man! If you can create life you can use a little color! Seriously, I could go on and on about all the flaws and important, unaswered questions of the film but I wont.

Muahahaha - the best questions about prometheus i ever did read in my entire life! I will like to support you and add my own questions: 1. do engineers have to go to toilet? 2. do they have hobbies? 3. what is their favourite rock band? 4. do they only want to destroy mankind because they saw LOST?

@spacyfreak the answer to the fourth question is kind of obvious ;) Of course that's why!!

I was going to ask the toilet question but I figured it would spark so much heated debate that I held back. I hate this movie so much. I mean, how could they leave something like that in the air?!

Ahh com on REpDetect, sometimes you simply have to take it as a man. Prometheus is even better than thousands of other movies, but its a pitty that they did not let US watch it BEFORE they let it out on the masses. Dont they have something like "fan-quality-check" to let someone "from outside" prove the movie? With LITTLE changes they could do HEAVY improvement to the whole movie. Just adding / changing some lines in the dialogues, change the ending sequence. That would cost maybe 1% of the whole budget, but it would grow the box office to unknown highs...

@spacyfreak I could care less about all that. I'm pissed that I don't know what an Engineer toilet looks like! Not knowing ruined the film.

BTW...Just to be clear. Besides the fact that the questions spacyfreak and I have asked in this thread weren't answered I think the film is great. It would be better than Alien...if they would have answered all these questions. Damn Lindeloffer!

[i]3)Where are the restrooms on the Engineer's ships?[/i] Down in the basement. That's what the "ampule" chamber actually is -- what do you think all that black goo was? The giant stone head was the "restrooms'" sign -- it's the "head". [i]4. do they only want to destroy mankind because they saw LOST?[/i] No, they're just jealous of us because we have hair.

Anyone have a sarcasm detector? I hope not because this thread is 100% seriousness.

@Infidel753...See that's a great answer! Why couldn't they have just answered it that way? Or anyway? I mean, why make us speculate? Why spark conversation? Why not just give us a Prometheus encylopedia of a movie with all the answers to these burning questions? I don't get it.

Well, just for ONE reason - TO BUY THE DAMN TICKET! But as we already downloaded the movie BEFORE IT HAS BEEN MADE, by using a timemachine (navigated by gay pearce, of cause), there was no waste of money... No - serious, i went to the movie and i will watch it again in my home country. I simply want to support this "kind" of movie as there is to much MIND-RAPING sci-fi out there the last years so you have to feel SHAME for the direction all this hallywood-shit takes, from dumb to even dumber, and i SIMPLY DONT BELIEVE that the time of INTELLIGENT filmmaking is over, damn! Unbelievable, but you SEE the direction this (our!) civilisation is taking. Ever seen a DUMBER movie then BATTLESHIP? Oh pardon me, of cause - SKYLINE maybe even dumber. No, i think BOTH are DUMB TO DAMN DEATH...

They did say the water in the structure was probably martian pee because they didn't know where all of it was coming from. So the whole structure is one big toilet.

@spacyfreak 1- I guess they do; at least you can see them doing a lot of squatting around the ship. 2- They don't have time hobbies since they pass most of their lives sleeping. 3- They love Jethro Tull because of the flute thing $- They haven't watched the Lost yet because the radio waves won't reach them in many years to come. But I don't dare to predict what's in store for us once they get to watch the final season.

1- Because they despise helmet hair so much they lasered it off . 2-Sure....body building (see them abs),flute playing, travel 3-hmmm.....there suits serve as toilets probably...lots of tubes. 4-they can decorate just fine but their fashion sense sucks...have you seen those suits.

The hologram shows that 2000 years ago they all got food poisoning and while they were all running to use to the toilet that one toilet hog who survived closed the door and they all died from explosive diarrhea hence the pile of bodies. The End.

It's obvious... The space jockey toilet is egg shaped just like their piloting seats. Come on guys, let's think of harder questions. Like what their workout schedule is, and which protein drink they use? I'm guessing a glass of raw facehugger eggs in the morning to start off a productive day!
