Did you ever notice...

@necronom...Never noticed that! I must check that out. Man, I had some more "did you notice" questions but they have flown out of my mind. I'll have to think hard to get them back lol.

@oduodu...Thanks, but I know I'm good lol. I never noticed that David was eating. For some reason I thought he was coloring his hair in that scene. Guess he was doing both. That was a long post and I don't have time to go over all of them but I'll give answers for a few. Yes, Janek was smoking while decorating the christmas tree. The "glitched pup" that Janek was telling Millburn and Fifield about was no longer in the same place because David opened the door to the cockpit or whatever you want to call the area where the Engineer's stasis pods were. You'll notice in the film that whenever there is a closed door on the juggernaut that there's a pup floating outside of it and that when the door is opened the pup goes in and continues mapping. When the crew are leaving to go look for Millburn and Fifiled someone mentions the "glitched pup" and David says he can go check it out to see what's up. He has alterior motives at that point of course. I think he knows there is a lifeform present and is "trying harder" for Weyland. When the Juggernaut begins to start there is a rush of air that blows Shaw down an embankment and outside. I do however find a lot of problems in regards to "proximity" at the end of the film like where Vickers pod lands and where the juggernaut land in regards to where it was in the sky when it crashed. Yeah, there's icons above their blips. It's the first letter of their last name except for David, of course. Fiflield wasn't picking up the ship below because the pup had not gone thru the door yet. I think the pups can tell something's hollow thus they wait outside of doors. If not they would just be waiting at every wall.

Did you notice how in the digital displays, inside their helmets, display the numbers 666? They have numbers at the top of the displays, when being shown from their perspective (first person perspective) they have numbers like 64 62 63. (6)4 (6)2 (6)3.....666. Is it just a coincidence or does it mean something?

@FreePlanet...Yeah, I noticed that but did you ever notice the 3 scratches that he has right above the tattoo? When he goes to the mirror he touches his shoulder and kind of checks them out. I've always wondered where the hell they came from and my best guess is that Shaw scratched him during cuddle's conception. It seems some of you may have missed that. Check it out and tell me what you think. @oduodu...No, I never noticed that. Wonder what it is? One of those magnetic balancing things like they have in those braclets maybe lol.

Engineering Probably 2 dimensional holographs. LOL What about the way David swallows the porridge form his spoon - reminds a lot of wren when he asked ripley :"how does that make you feel ?" Or when janek says: "take us around" - reminds of when goreman says " give me a slow circle" 000000000RRRRRRRR Are you refering more to visual references ?

Engineering I remember a part where while David is watching the video about the language training while he is eating and he takes the spoon(fork?) out of his mouth In a long winded way , like child would trying to irritate his parents - it reminded of the way wren (in resurrection) takes the spoon out of his mouth before after saying to Ridley "were teaching you - how does that make you feel". Engineering - I'm not being sarcastic when I say this - but you are really good - that bowl fifield is drinking from as you said is probably a reference of fifield drinking of the sacrificial bowl in the ampule room (as getting inffected probably amounts to the same thing - maybe I guess) Was that a cigarette in janeks mouth when he was at the Christmas tree ? Why was Vickers hair loose while she was watching the feed from David ? Was that post janek.....(you know what I mean !!!!) Whas she drinking tea ? Whas that a screen showing the completely mapped top view of the pyramid to the right of the screen showing the feed from david that vickers was watching ? Why was the glitched pup janek referred to way out to top right hand side of the temple. But when janek asks for the the part of the ship to be zoomed in on it doesn't seem anywhere near where the pup was that was faulty ? Why was David stopping in his little buggy halway between the pyramid and the prometheus ship as the rest of the crew continues to find milburn and fifield ? Why was Shaw getting out of the ground halfway between the pyramid and the prometheus ship after she ran away from the engineer ? Where does fifield keep his marajuana burning before it gets puffed into his helmet? Does the little icons on the pyramid holographs of the crew have little letters hanging above them ? I take it is the first letter of the person' s name it represents. I think it was turning around on top of the its icon ? Why was fifield not picking up the the ship in the ground below them as they were riding as he was picking up whether or not things are hollow ? Why was janek wearing a blanket if he is in a ship that has climate control ? Why was it necessary for a ship that is able to land vertically to move horizontally. Just before it lands - why not hover still in the air and then land just going down ? Was that 04 on the side of the ship ? The 4th of its kind ? Was it going to take any signal from prometheus 34 years to reach earth or do they use subspace frequencies like star trek that means no time delay ? would it take WEYLAND-YUTANI 34 years to learn of Prometheus"s fate ? So by 2127 WEYLAND-YUTANI will find out what happens. 5/6 years after the events of alien ? How long does it take lv 223 to turn around its own axis ? 36 hours ? Is the skullface on top of the pyramid not exactly the same as the xenomorph in alien's face? Has anyone noticed it looks like the grim reaper ?(probably has)

@oduodu...Any visual references, homages or anything at all that you noticed that some may not have. Doesn't matter. What porridge did David eat with a spoon? Is it in the deleted scenes or something? And Ripley isn't in Prometheus. I'm confused lol??? When you said that it made me think of when Fifield is drinking from the bowl when Millburn tries to make friends. Reminds me of the Sacrificial Engineer and the bowl he took the goo out of. Fifield, sipping the goo just waiting to become Zombie Fifield lol.

Engineering "Did you ever notice that the section of the Juggernaut that the Prometheus rammed was rather unscathed after the crash?" Good point . Dropping from the sky from that height crashing into the ground without breaking apart. I guess engineers sitting at the old age home uses the adage " they don't grow them like that anymore" LOL . I guess they grow em to last a very long time. A bio metallic alloy that doesn't rust - contract - expand - maybe nanites or viral agents keeping the maintenance up. Also the prometheus ship seemed bigger from the inside then seen from the outside. Where was all the vehicles when they were sitting in the hall ? Where exactley were they when Weylands speech ensued. When Vickers talked to Janek as he was tending the Christmas tree what do all those numbers on the wall doors mean ?

Did you ever notice that Weyland wears some kind of medal dangling from the left breast pocket of his suit?

Did you ever notice Holloway's CROSS TATTOO on his right shoulder? Really, yeah, but maybe it was just in the Deleted Scenes that got deleted from the 'net - why would you wanna cloak the truth of a Fallen Angel?

Yes, I noticed that. It's very apparent in the theatrical release in the scene where he's at the mirror.

Did you notice that the first close-up of the Prometheus was having a cheeky little dig at countless other sci-fi movies that show the sun appearing from behind a planet?

you know what i noticed, some douchebag talking to his friend, texting someone else, and making the most noise for the longest time with a paper napkin that i have ever experienced in my life. i heard this talking and texting mother-fker wipe his hands on a napkin for minutes and minutes on end each session, many sessions throughout the film. i have O.C.D and i am not even close to that annoying about cleaning my hands. FYI if you are in this forum, the napkin isnt cleaning your hands... why dont you carry a travel size bottle of hand sanitizer like the rest of us cooks, or get your lazy but up and wash your hands 50 times, weirdo. also, i would like to know how you defied the laws of physics and made a napkin make noises so loud that i could hear it over dolbi surround sound in the loudest theater i have ever been to, so loud that ever sound effect makes the theater shake like a paint can mixer and even gave me tinnitus. why did you even go to the most expensive movie theater in the entire state just to talk to your buddy, text on your phone, and turn a napkin into an auditory torture device? you weren't even watching the movie... what is wrong with you, why did you even go? *deap breath* sorry for this furious rant but i have only seen the movie once and this sumbitch ruined it for me -_- if you live in oklahoma and you went to the warren theater in the balcony seating on midnight opening day and did this.... you sir, are a douchebag, and if i have the displeasure of being near you again i am going to Papier-mâché you with napkins! ill do it too, im eccentric :P plus i always have napkins in my purse because of my allergies, so im prepared!

^ (can't stop laughing)

Neither can I !!

Did you notice that the Big Head Room has a shaft above it that runs to the top of the Pyramid? Did you notice that, in the Map Room, the Moon's orbit around the Earth was way off scale? In reality the Moon is much farther away than depicted in the graphic.

Did you ever notice Janek's suspicious behaviour when he talks to the lost crew members. He tells them that their signal has been dropping in and out since the storm hit but yet we see him watching a crystal clear feed from their helmets. Did you ever notice the robotic way Vickers turns to Janek when she sees him putting up a Christmas tree on the pool table....she turns her head, then turns her body to face him. I'm of the school that thinks she's an android. Did you ever notice that the hammerpede has a vagina for a mouth :) Also look at the picture of the Engineer ship at the top of this page (on the link called "talk Prometheus") - it looks like a prophecy of the deacon and hammerpede coming face to face. I can imagine a scene where the 2 species meet face to face as adults, both much bigger, the hammerpede constricts the deacon before latching on to its second jaw. It brings to mind the legend of Ouroboros, the snake eating its own tail. Apparently it represents "the idea of primordial unity related to something existing in or persisting from the beginning with such force or qualities it cannot be extinguished"......sounds like a description of a Xeno to me :)

Druzilla Very interesting post Well spotted ! Isn't a snake swollowoing its own tale a sign of eternity / inifniteness ? Is the jugg with two tails approaching each other maybe a sign that the engineers are beginning to approach immortality ?is the circular ship at the start a proof maybe that the elder engineers are immortal but that there is a sub specy among them that has yet to attain it or maybe they are lesser members that must sacrifice themselves to ensure genetic diversity or attain/produce a perfect genome that will ensure immortality ? Did UN immortal members dable in technology meant for the immortal ones ? Are the Xenomorphs worshopped for their ability to provide this perfect genome ? Then when the the lessor engineers tried to tame the xenomorph after the events on lv 426 they introduced an ampule based "xenomorph". It is often the children of people who themselves are rebellious that rebels. Which why in becoming immortal themselves the people on earth failed in this regard and needed to be replaced with obedient children that will help them grow there genome to perfection. Just. A thought

Maybe the perceived invitation is a test . The obedient children will continue to worship as the drawing instructs (and breed improved DNA). But the disobedient ones will look past the engineers to the "stars" and say : I want that for myself !! To be like you . Was the "incomplete" engineers once a race like mankind - they stayed true their purpose and once they succeeded in providing the elder engineers (wich seeded them ) they themselves were allowed to now start doing it for themselves ? Just another thought. Maybe that's why no help came their way . They failed. The xenomorph is the creature that eventually prevailed after countless centuries of wiping out disobedient children. Thereby being both life and death depending on whether or not you seeded the correct engineer - is his DNA going to better you ? After the successful engineer that supplied the improved genome DNA material the race is used the reseed or seed another world and probably replaced by being xenomorphed. I think bigdave made a brilliant point. Maybe the sacrificial cups was to break down engineer DNA so that it may also be dropped by ampules so that the resultant engineer seeding process is greatly hastened as well as the eventualy being xenomorphed . Is the hammerpede(facehugger DNA) approaching the xenomorph (xenomorph DNA) coming together not an image of the engineers starting to reach the singularity (genome wise) ?

Sorry off topic.
