(sorry if this has been discussed - I did a brief scan & didn't see it) So we're told that the Original Engineer landed on Earth, then drank his drink and sacrificed his himself in order to begin life here and human life evolved from that event. So, at what point did the cavemen who drew the cave paintings contact the Engineers in order to be able to draw them? The only Engineer there (it seems) disintegrated & fell into a waterfall. Plot hole? And for what reason did they draw them? Intentionally as an "invitation" as Shaw theorized, or maybe as a warning? Overall I LOVED this movie, I actually love how everything wasn't explained. So many movies seem to feel like they need to wrap up everything nicely in a bow. I just watched it for the first time on Vudu three nights ago and I can't think about anything else.

Nematode,,, Since word over two syllabals is a challenge I to check into the meaning ofthe above word. Is there any similarities to the slithering creature that afffected Millburn that can related to nematodes,,you have studied? At first glance to my untrained eye there is a resemblance could be a clue to what attacked our biologist.

lol no thankfully! hahaha! the idea of returning tomorrow to find an aggressive weiner-snake in the lab tickles me XD I am actually studying the morphological changes that occur when we remove the functioning of collagen genes (though not growth rate) but any changes are small and have to be observed under a microscope. i wonder about what holloway saw on his eye in the mirror though was it a hallucination or maybe the mutagen goo affected microscopic nematode that wouldnt normally have bothered him like mutated threadworm! eek thatll give nightmares. no dont worry the little worms i use are non-parasitic and microscopic..... and staying that way!!!!!

I recently had an eye irritant and thought of the Holloway scene checking his eye. I did sleep that night and the next morning was so relieved that everything was OK. However I did look at the kitchen fire extinguisher with great affection.

THe first time I saw Alien I fell asleep fairly early in the movie,' Later my son brought the movie to my attention I watched it again and enjoyed it very much,,though I thought it was a slow paced movie. My son also brought Prometheus to my attention an we saw it together a t the theater. After the movie we were both more than a bit confused,, For me the movie that scared me the most was The Exorcist..now that was a scary movie!
