Last Supper

"I wonder what that is about."

Trying to assert a little authority as 2IC and failing dismally.

SM- that is what I am thinking. Looks like he may have had a prepared speech in the booklet he was holding early on.

I just noticed Daniel's wink at the CPT before he left.

Perhaps a spoiled brat.I think it may have already been said,but maybe he does something to Branson.They are both captains

The cause of the queasiness?

The 'purgative'?

purgative- apparently something to do with a laxative effect.

What song is playing while the guy is eating meatloaf?

"I Can See Paradise By The Dashboard Light"

SM- lol!

There is so much biblical symbolism in this prologue. I hope it continues in the rest of the film. The biblical stuff is what has always put the Alien franchise up and beyond most other sci-fi IMO. All of the scriptural Easter Eggs were my favorite part of Prometheus- which is one of the reasons people talk about that movie so much (even though almost everyone I know seems to hate it). 

Not a fan of the biblical stuff but can understand it. At least it seems to be done in this scene that it doesn't have to be seen that way- despite the title.

I actually like Tennessee in this scene. He seems like the kind of person who can be aloof and fun but be all business when things go side ways. The crew seems to respect him and that is a sign of a good leader.

Except the captain,he called him a jerk.

 @dk Yes it seems that Tennessee is either a great underneath a rough exterior, or he will go through the arc to becoming a noble person. 

He said in an interview that each day during meals the cast kept getting smaller and smaller... And we see him in the trailer interacting with Daniels (I think he gives her a gun or maybe just follows her when she turns down a corridor) and that scene looked really intense and he seemed scared out of his mind. So yeah he does seem like a good character from what I can tell. 

don't know why but iv taken an instant dislike to daniels. cant explain it. also Im not great at identifying the actors, whos the guy who wanted to do the speech? seems he looks a little resentful towards daniels so could he be a human bad guy during the film?possibly trying to undermine anything daniels suggests during the film? I think also theyr showing franco being sick to help explain his early demise in the film?

He's the one who gets the facehugger in the trailer ali81 

ah gotcha. its nice to see walter will have a distinctly different accent and manner to david. swaying more to walter being ur local friendly android now but looks can be deceiving

I think he is also a CPT under Jake who is ill. Tennesse seems like the second in command. Seems like Tennessee commands more presence and respect among the crew than the "majesty" guy.

I noticed ali81 

dk, yea I got that aswell. I think in normal circumstances the character in question will be a bit like whats his name from alien3, the one with the low IQ, 87 is it? anyway, I think hel just become cpt out of chain of command where as tennesse would have been probably the better choice, though he may be dead at this point. r they all couples in the prologue? I know the folk in stasis r couples but what about this lot?
