What happened to Shaw

I honestly don't know.I think it's possible she's being kept in stasis somewhere.Its likely the newley announced prequel novelization will shed some light on her fate.

i dont think we will see her much again....

I am not sure if we would now get a movie that would show what happened.... but the Novel would touch upon it.

I think considering Shaw wanted answers, to kill her off would be a cop out without her getting those answers.. even if there are no Engineers, or she finds out what David had done..

I think they would surely have to have it that she gets her answers but the Truth is Horrific...  and it would involve Shaw to be used to show her...

So it would be a bit like how Holloway wanted his answers, and David gave him them....

My re-work on Prometheus would have had Holloway after finding out the Engineers are gone.... David would mention about the Vases... all is not lost... would he not want to know their purpose....   Which Holloway would reply "look i came here to meet these Gods.. not collect archaeological antiques .

which is when David would then ask him.... how far would he go, to get his answers....

I think maybe if Shaw asked Questions similar, and David knew the reason for the creation was simply to use as Experimental Hosts...  then by experimenting on Shaw he can give her the answers...

Agree with BigDave- She will get her answer but find out that she is personally part of the answer at her peril. Sort of "be careful what you wish for" or "some things are best left a mystery". No worries. I didn't like wishy washy choose to believe Shaw anyway. Good riddance.

really hope for the series she is still alive. her character, wether seen as strong or week, is something new. we have the ripley character, the survivor and it seems newt and daniels will both be following that trend. and think of the comments and reasons behind why ridley made the changes to the original film and it became Prometheus. a film asking the questions who r we? who made us? shaw is the character who was set up to ask those questions so it doesn't make a lot of sense to just kill her off although it is true we don't need her character in AC as this is more an alien film but in later films I think it makes more sense to have a familiar character to follow. I am probably wrong ill admit but I just hope the AC sequel is more on the Prometheus theme and less alien. we have alien 5 still to come after all

I don't mind if she dies as long as it's a strong death and not anticlimactic.

yea there must be big significance to her death such as morphs into an egg, possibly the one that gets crudrup in the movie. I don't like the idea of her becoming the queen though. shes already birthed something alien

About what you said about the queen,my brother and i discussed the idea of David maybe dropping her into black goo and she evolved into a queen alien.Guess we weren't the first ones who thought of that.

I hadn't thought of it but a few on other threads contemplated it. if done properly could be good but I just don't know. maybe if she is morphed into an egg and its a queen that is the end product could be a decent twist

I don't think it would work any way.The fate of being infected with the black goo is that you'll probably explode at some point like the engineers head.

I even thought of posting a forum about it.may not know.

not been on here long but I have found if u have something on ur mind, start a thread. all ideas and thoughts welcome is the tone im getting from the other folk. they just all seem to love discussing all things alien/ xeno. has to be said ridley scott has probably done something no one (except maybe g.lucas) has ever done before and given us a world that lets our imagination go to weird n wonderful places. until the film comes out and we think ok I was totally wrong lol but them he gives us more questions and although many get annoyed and frustrated at that, if u think about it,we wouldn't be on forums like this after 30+years still letting our imaginations run wild if we got all the answers

I'll give it some more thought.Really make sure i got something to say before i say it.

iv asked a Cpl of, what I thought, were daft ones but never gets shot down, even turns out the first few responses r along the lines of 'iv often wondered that myself' or 'I never thought of that'

I know what you mean.

A slight change in atleast wording of the plot.. instead of David being sole survivor.. maybe there's a little hope that Shaw is alive

 No way David is just going to throw Shaw under the bus, he's supposed to be fixated with her. They could go the creepy stalker route with it again but David just killing Shaw for dem experiments is too big of a jump, he's supposed to be a character not a plot device.

I would actually expect Shaw to die by her own choice in the hopes of accomplishing something despite David,s protests.

Hopefully something terrible, I absolutely despise her character because she has no common sense. She just follows her religious beliefs without anything to back it up (and no her "we have proof" isn't enough). If she would be of any use what so ever in the franchise she could be something that David experimented on to get the monsters.

Since David is the only "human" on the planet (according to the synopsis), she is dead. She either perished during the crash landing, David did something to her while she was in cryo-sleep or the indigenous lifeforms on the planet (perhaps tampered with by David) killed her. My theory is that David killed/transformed her during the journey to Paradise and that we will get the details in the prequel novel.

I think she is infected with what Hollawy gave her through their intercourse. So who knows how it will effect her long term.she may not be dead but has mutated.
