joeyjoeDecember 19, 2012some answers in the sequel would be nice, but its not necessary to introduce more xenos to provide those answers. Discovery and information can be the conduit to answers.
imo, and this seems very clear to me, the connection between LV 223 and the derelict on LV 426 is the that the "derelict" on LV 426 was a ship that came from LV 223 during the time of the "outbreak" 2000 yrs prior to shaw and crew's arrival on LV 223. The "derelict" on LV 426 had been sitting there for approximately 2000 yrs by the time shaw and crew set down on LV 223. The details and chronology of the eggs on board the "derelict" juggernaut (LV 426) are still a mystery, but how and when the "derelict" juggernaut went down on LV 426 is no longer a mystery (imo). Details pertaining to the eggs/spores found in the "derelict" juggernaut can be touched upon in the sequel without having alien-esque critters running about. I think the deacon was in prometheus just as a final visual cue illustrating that the black goo ties into the xeno/alien. I think its clear that the "deacon" is NOT the first alien/xeno.
Anyways...id like to see some of these questions subtly illuminated in the sequel, but i very much want to keep the xeno/alien presence to a minimum. I want to explore the engineers and their culture. i also want to explore the creator/createe dynamic by way of further examining the engineer's relationship with humanity. David will make the aforementioned even more interesting/multi-faceted (synthetic creation etc.) Man...im pumped for this sequel. i really hope that it gets made (and made correctly)!
