Dr. Elizabeth Shaw repairing David 8 on the Engineer craft.

I believe all of this segment when Dr. Shaw is repairing David 8 is part of Alien: Awakening. 

Ridley Scott said it was a "piece from the world of Alien."

So this footage totally will not be in Covenant?

That is my theory Davefried81. This sequence will be part of Alien: Awakening. I listened to what Ridley Scott said over and over at the beginning of the footage.

maybe awakening is already made, and its mainly david with engineers learning how to use the black goo. This could be what turns him really bad, must be a really bad engineer he runs into.

@Babylonxeno I think you may be right. Waterston has had to "shush" Ridley several times on this subject, interestingly, so I think there's a huge surprise coming, and it isn't "just" A:C...A:A is soon!

Wasn't it stated that they would begin shooting that next year? I think this is just a stand-alone prologue to Alien: Covenant. It might be set in the same timeframe as Alien: Awakening will be set, but I doubt they will use these shots in that final movie if they haven't even started shooting the rest of it. :-)

Ingeniero - I think we can agree David clearly stole Shaws hair care products while he was in her duffle bag.  Even as just a head he has nice hair.

 

On a serious note.  I think Shaw is really sick.  No one else noticed but she is sweating ALOT (her skin glistens in the light) yet covered in a blanket and cold.  Her hair is disheveled and she looks like she is struggling.

I am confused. It is billed as an AC prologue but is actually about AA? If true, how does David get repaired between Prometheus and AA?

Apparently parts of this are in AC....

There will be a number of Flash Backs that cover David and Shaw and the Re-attaching of the Head and Bombard are just some of these Flash Backs.

There is 40-45 Minutes of Footage that has not been touched upon by any of the Trailers and Official Licensed and Allowed stuff...    as far as prior to Today.

"Her hair is disheveled and she looks like she is struggling"

I just think they forgot to grab the Shampoo, Conditioner and Hair Dryer and Straighteners...

She did get her Shower Gown though lol

Yep lot of Potential Plot Holes here that can only be Explained by ONE THING..... Maybe TWO LOL

They had been back to the Lifeboat... but are they Crazy? and where did the Deacon get too?

Something i noticed with Prometheus that we maybe overlooked.... that answers a lot..

Prometheus Arrived at LV-223 on Christmas Day we can assume it had to be Christmas Day because Janek got the Christmas Tree out and Holloway said its Christmas and he wants to open his presents.

So the Briefing that Holloway and Shaw gave to the Crew (Star Map) and then setting off to the Complex the first time is set December 25th 2093

Yet when Shaw gives her SOS the date is January 1st 2104

Thats a whole WEEK after they first arrived and set Foot on LV-223 to when they left... or maybe not?

I would assume Shaw got the Equipment to Repair David somewhere and its not Engineer Technology, as well as the Robe and Pen and Paper, and not forgetting different Clothing David has in this and also in AC.

They must have either.

1) Salvaged from the Lifeboat?

2) Found stuff in the wreckage of the Prometheus?

Or Obtained it from another Ship... but how and when?

Shaws Hair Growth is more than 7 Days worth its actually about 9-12 Months worth.

The only logical explanation (avoids bad research and writing would be).

They Salvage stuff from the Prometheus Wreckage...

David without his Head can operate the Ship to get into Space and during the journey Shaw grows enough to trust David and Repairs him, then this feature she asks how long it will take to get to where they are going with Longer Hair, No way she would ask such a thing and then go into Cryo-sleep after floating in Space for 9 Months plus.

Also where do they get the Earth looking Star Map Chart and Plot Navigation just as we would now...

Why not use the Engineers Technology?

I wonder if these things was in the earlier Drafts or if this is John Logans Writing, as if it is well it makes Lindeloffs more Coherent

But we cant Jump the Gun yet, maybe there is a explanation...

Maybe they went to LV-426 first? maybe a Ship arrived there first that only David knew about?  they then got the stuff from a Human Ship there... but this raises so many more potential Plot Flaws... unless they dont discover the Derelict.

"suspension of disbelief" is required for ALL movies, not just this one. Let it flow, and enjoy it for what it is, without overanalyzing. Your life is more important than that, surely?

This Prologue video goes with something I had suspected and mentioned on a couple of other threads..... I felt that David with his knowledge of Engineer language and tech would be able to get answers and learn a lot about them from the juggernaut while they travel. ....my original hypothesis I posted on another thread is David uses this knowledge he learns through the ship to give Shaw her answers long before they arrive at Paradise. It made more sense to me than them confronting actual Engineers and asking questions, I mean from a logical standpoint interacting in a conversation with them would be futile. The last time one was attempted with Engineers people lost their heads and many people died, so her thinking she could go there and get answers is almost like a worthless sacrifice of her life just on principle.

i felt David would get her answers or enough info on the trip so that they would come to the conclusion of attempting to kill the engineers would be the best choice. I felt that they may kill Shaw off with their defensive measures possibly with the scorpion ship and the fact she died and the dark things he learned of the Engineers and their intentions would lead David to become the mad scientist.

after watching this it appears that David did learn things about the Engineers on the trip while Shaw slept. The things he learned pushed him in the direction of bombing th so perhaps their intentions of true galactic purpose was evil and dark. Shaw may still die in the crash but I still think he is find of Shaw even this video shows as much. 

I still feel he becomes evil with a god complex but he is The Hannibal Lector to Shaw's Clarice

Stumbled apon the prologue video by chance earlier, Shaw and David are actually getting on really well in it.

Shows the ships arrival and docking too, it's pretty awesome
