Just pondering some Prometheus questions/holes. Let me know your thoughts: I think maybe the engineer in the beginning of the film, on Earth, sacrificed himself in order to create humans. And I am not quite sure they wanted to kill humans, per se. In Prometheus, David said that sometimes you have to destroy to create. So, while humans could have been a failed experiment, they might have already been experimenting with the xenomorph and realized that to create it they would have to be 'impregnated' and thus die giving birth to it. So maybe they created humans in order to then infect our planet (well, namelly, infect us) and use as hosts for the final product--the xenomorph. This would also allow them to create it without killing themselves. They might have tried several or many times to create an engineer-like creature to use as hosts (something close to them) and got it right with humans; and since they did get it right, they were going to come back and then use us as hosts to create the xenomorph. Also, I think Charlie took a while to die while the engineer in the beginning died instantly because he only had one drop versus drinking a whole 'batch' (although I do also like the theory that we have a slight immunity built up to the genetic-destroying goo as we were created through its use). I think it can also be argued that perhaps Shaw is the space jockey from Alien. Yes, we assume that it is an engineer, with its ribcage having burst; but that is only a suit that has been broken through. We have no idea who is in that suit driving that spaceship. So it is possible that the ship Shaw takes off in has the eggs (maybe one of the creatures that burst through one of the engineers made it to one of the other ships on LV-223, or maybe they got it right on that ship/dome, or maybe it has yet to come or be explained in another prequel/Prometheus sequel--episode 2? lol). However, I would still like to know why Fifield became super-zombie (maybe because he did not actually ingest the goo? the engineer in the beginning and Charlie both consumed it. Or also, maybe because he was protected by the melted glass helmet). And if we decide to connect Shaw to sequels of this prequel, there is the question my friend Chris posed to me, which is how would Shaw be in the space jockey suit and drive the spaceship, the suit is too big: how else did she drive the spaceship? yes, David can help her, but he can't drive it, he has been decapitated lol plus, I think he was helping her to finish his originally objective, whether that be to obtain the weapon or whatever we decide it is haha especially since this is only taking place like 30 or so years before Alien, AND we have to introduce Yutani into the mix. I think it would be cool to do one (or two) more movies, with two sets of events taking place--boardroom Weyalnd Yutani deciding we have to get the weapon (with, I'm guessing, David being able to somehow inform them back on Earth where they are, or using the space technology) and it actually being them deciding who to send on the Nostromo (including last-minute replacement of the science officer with android Ash), and on the other set of scenes showing the events leading to LV-426 ship (where is it, how did they engineer the Queen and egg-laying, like maybe some sort of insect as a goo-infected facehugger, thereby reaching the eventual form of the Alien as we know it) and why it crashed or was sent, by David's manipulation of Shaw, to this planet(oid)/moon.
