Something Real
MemberTrilobiteApr-12-2015 8:00 PMHello there.
Recently, I sat down to have another go at Prometheus (all the recent activity on the site producing all manner of new conjecture and thought placed me in the mood to revisit it for the eighth time). As I watched the ending portion of the film, I happened to notice something that, as far as I am aware, has not been addressed. It is nothing pivitol or mind-bending; however, I am curious about its implications.
During the moments in which the trilobite attacks and latches onto the Engineer, it is clearly visible that the Engineer has six toes. As he struggles with the creature, he places a foot upon the wall - revealing that his pedimorphology includes one more digit than is evidenced in human anatomy. That, for me, was extremely peculiar, and I have been wondering if this aspect has been brought forward at any other point in time. As always, you thoughts and conjecture are most welcome, even if you choose to keep them to yourself. :)
