Custodian
MemberOvomorphApril 09, 2013it's the opening scene of Prometheus, where a Sacrifice Engineer is seeding a planet with his amazing DNA.
I always thought it was a copout not to date/place the scene, as happens a couple minutes later with the Prometheus ship reveal just outside the LV-system.
For me, however, it might have been 'more intriguing' if this opening 'sacrifice' scene wasn't a) some sort of 'punishment' scene and b) on a planet in another star galaxy.
THEN, wait for this, THEN the whole thing could have been a 'proper' Adam & Eve moment when the first escapee from the Humanoid Farm made its way to Earth and founded his own planetary kingdom. I still think there's a 'clever way' to include the landing of the Derelict on LV-426.
It most certainly was NOT A CRASH LANDING and who's to say the original Space Trucker giant (or his slave humanoid crew) weren't PICKING UP eggs from the surface of the xeno'd planet? You know, and something 'went wrong'?
I know I've talked about this being (maybe) Peter Weyland in 2001 as a kid, but there's potential that an ORIGINAL SINNER came to earth 'thousands of years earlier' when proto-humanoids were around and made his home among their number, adding his genetic-galactic contribution to the local mix.
There's talk, on the internet, of Rebooting Alien so it 'fits with the Prometheus film' but I'm not really a big fan of some of the creative decisions in that story (nor the script) and would prefer a PROMETHEUS REBOOT where the original Space Jockey race are going about the universe millions of years earlier, and one of their humanoid-seeded experiments escapes to Earth to 'be among the animals' of the garden.
Call it EDEN.
