What's in the other 5 temples??

I think I'm officially addicted to this site. I thought I may get back to my life after seeing the movie (which I loved btw), but all that did was open up a zillion new questions. I kind of knew that was going to happen though! Anyway, the burning question for me is what the hell is in those other temples. The entire movie takes place in but 1 temple. Are we to assume that the other 5 temples have the exact same layout, with the same giant head ampule room? We see the holographic scene of the engineers running for their lives. Is that very temple that the Prometheus crew happen to enter THE site for all the carnage that went down on LV-223. There are still 5 (or many others) temples unexplored. Why were all the engineers in Temple #1? I dont' buy it. I would think there would be engineers located in all of the temples. Couldn't they have been on lockdown knowing what just happened in Temple 1...possibly boarded their derelicts and gotten the hell out of Dodge. Also the question begs, if there were multiple engineer ships beside each temple, wouldn't it stand to reason that there were other engineers in stasis pods as well? The Prometheus crew (specifically David and Weyland) don't even ponder the idea that there could be more engineers alive on that planet. Then again, that really doesn't matter seeing as the first encounter didn't go so well. Damn this movie is frustrating with all the questions it raises..

Old office furniture... dusty file cabinets.. and someone's very nice exotic spacecraft... the usually stuff... oh most likely more the same evil bio-weapon crap in the first one... why change when the first one was so perfect... in killing also most everyone... LMAO and yes I was being serious at the end... multiples usually indicate more of the same but maybe a different unit... or they just look really cool like that.. (remember their were (3) additional ships before the kids took one... meaning... where was number 4? Off doing Godly things?).

They never do a sytematic sweep because Weyland is impatient for immotrality, he hired a fray boy (Holloway) as one of the leaders of the mission. "I'm going to open my presents" and his "genius" girlfriendisn't assertive enough to suggest doing things properly, cos y'know they flew 327 TRILLION kilometres for this ONE shot at this. My own theory is that due to the recession, there has been cutbacks and the other 5 temples have been mothballed and everybody laid off. In fact, they had to get to the dome at the far end, to find a ship that still had a decent amount of gas in the, and then spent 5 days doing that thing with the hose, syphoning the gas from the others to fill up the last one. that's why they didn't leave until New Years day... Well, maybe that and Shaw figuring out how to fly, and where, from an android she can't really trust (but may just be foolish enough to do so), recovering from c-sections and the like. But yes It is convenient that there are ships, but presumably not Space Jockeys or whatever it is that wiped out most of the workers in nightmare lab no. 1 . I doubt the rest of the "Igors" went on strike looking for better safety standards. Also I wonder about how they got in. The way they found into the first dome, doesn't look much like a purpose built entrance. (assuming these Space Jockeys come and go by ship. ) I can't recall if it was very small or just shown from an odd angle. If it was actually a crack they entered through, rather than an open tunnel system, then the other domes might be properly sealed (i.e. no Xenomorph running about those tunnels waiting for its next prey.

[i]"My own theory is that due to the recession, there has been cutbacks and the other 5 temples have been mothballed and everybody laid off."[/i] That's absurd. If the Engineers are so advanced, they would have figured out Keynesian economic theory, so they would know the secret to creating unlimited wealth by running it off a printing press.

Ah, but they're technologically advanced, but still religious so they probably elected someone they saw on Fox News.

cousteau: Your post made me think of something I wrote in my yet unposted review/response to the film. "2. We have seen that the "Juggernaut" can be operated/flown by a single crew member. The control deck of the "juggernaut" has sleep pods for 4 members, which would make sense in terms of the crew being able to work in shifts. I mention this because of/in regards to the pile of bodies that Fifield and Millburn discover in one of the tunnels." I have repeatedly wondered if the abovementioned pile of dead Engineers contains the bodies of Engineers from the other pyramids who were in "Pyramid # 1" to respond to some type of crisis.
