That pic of what appears to be Shaw looks like that image that was blurred out on the wall in one of the behind-the-scenes pics.

This does look similar to an Engineer robe below.

Dont be in such a hurry to say its her.  The mock up looks close but there are a lot of differences.

I don't think there are a lot of differences, but maybe some.  

I'd say the probability of it being her is quite high.

It's either her or somebody from the Covenant crew, right? I mean, none of the Engineers have hair, do they?

I'm not trying to be stubborn or anything, but honestly I can't logically deduce it could be anybody else. Again, not an argument, and you're right, Rick - I can't say this for sure. Much respect.

Is there any chance that this is her and a prop that is actually not used in the film? If that's the case, let the wild speculation begin!

Ingeniero - I like how David has some of the urns on the shelf 

Do we know why some of them are different sizes?

I remember in some of the shots in Prometheus when David was bagging one of the urns to take back and examine that a couple of them were smaller than the rest.

wow ObscureMammal, nice find. Shaw deserves an epic and memorable death if she had one in the movie.

If this is Elizabeth Shaw I will burn my ticket and I won't go to the cinema. It could be dissapointing. Such a hero finished like that.

It's gotta be her.. The cheekbones, chin and hairline are identical. Only difference I can see are the tubes?

Great post though! Interesting that there are two different sizes of urns on the shelf.

From what people have said, that is indeed Shaw. Maybe we will get a backstory in Awakening on how her path lead to David's experimentation tables.

This is one of those … "Noooo!!! … Yes! … Noooo!!! … Yes!, moments for me. Unfortunately. As I didn't want her to die, yet if she were to I would perversely like her to go like this. And it certainly does resemble her.

Pretty convinced that is Shaw.  Could it be a crew member from Covenant?  We all initially saw in the first trailer that there is another body that is cut open chest to stomach and that didnt look like Shaw.

Shaw becomes a mutated, horrible, egg laying, machine.

I have one problem: She is dead :(

If that's Shaw, what or who is this:

As I said before, the person on the table , however, is missing the little pit mark on the nose tip, Rapace has. In my pic the mark is present.

Did the SFX-crew mess up? ;)

Remake of movie the Thing!

David takes himself for frankenstein!
But what happens to shaw for arrived there?
Poor Shaw :(

Really disappointed, I thought it was a technogy of engineers who created biomechanics. But no.
It is david who creates his own xenomorphs by genetically deforming them by a strange process.
And do experiments on the body of Shaw, for what purpose? While he had the area to reconcile at the end of Prometheus.
Shaw may be dead during the ship's crash? And David wants to
give him life again (out of love)?

Looks like this is the head of Helen Ripley !!

There does seem to be a lot of .... crap.... around her head and bones going into her face.  I wonder if she had some kind of facehugger on her (accidentally or deliberately) and David tried to cut it off either out of desperation or experimentation.

Qubism Chris has put out quite a bit of info as possible at this time about this- which seems deliberately little. I agree that it is a great mystery to those of us whom haven't seen the movie yet.

@Tiwaz, that sketch of Shaw with the strange abnormalities coming out of her jaw is one of many David created. It gave me the impression David tried a lot of various things on Shaw or attempted to conceive ways of mutilation her corpse in the most efficient way.

There's no mistaking it, the plastinated woman is Shaw. She was ripped apart and it also looked like her organs had been harvested. David is a sick, twisted robot. I think he used her eggs as a missing link between the pathogen spore born creatures and the Ovomorph / Xenomorph. Using her eggs he was able to incubate and mutate the Facehugger to self sustain themselves and grow to produce the Ovomorph (Egg).

Chris Sorry if you cannot answer, but were you given a dvd to watch for the in depth review? Not saying it is impossible, but one shot at a movie in a dark theater and remembering it all with travel etc seems a tall order.

When that is Shaw, so be it. I don't mind her being a dead "queen" and ending up on frankenstein's gyno-table. 

I just looked at the two pics (drawing and set photo) and thought "Eh?". The rest I stated already.

All i'd like to see in A:C (and following) is consistency story wise in regards to, at least, the other movies. But I suspect, after all I've read, it might not go that way.

Ps.: No offense meant and none taken, just in case. ;)

ObscureMammal, yes the urns are different sizes and I'm sure different in capability as well.

So i was right all along, David creates the Alien, was pretty obvious from writers perspective and looking at history, it always repeats itself. A robot is built on many repetitive traits, like we humans. One i love most, is that we always try to over come our parents or creators, to become a grown up for ourselves. It either works out well with the upbringing and they are strong enough and clever enough, to deal with life correctly or if that is not the case, it is most likely going to end with someone who cannot deal with what life has to offer. Especially in terms or moral, good nature and to have borders what you can and cannot do. Clearly David is Pinnocchio in so many ways but with messed up parentage and role models. Even after seeing the Engineers and understanding their culture, they were not any different than we were. Perhaps even worse, so is it really so shocking how he reacts? He already mentioned, you must destroy to create and big things have small beginnings. Always being drawn to extremes. It´s a weird combination what Fox has pitched us, how would a human react to this environment, upbringing? and if a race or creation exceeds our knowledge and wisdom, it will ultimately want to establish itself as the new leading species, put themselves on top of the food rank.

We have a messed up history or wars and dictatorships, experiments and horrible things, where else should David have learned to do the same. He is the ultimate Hitler and with all good villains, he thinks he is just and right with his actions and does not see himself as bad, if he even thinks in that manner.

The reason why Prometheus and now Covenant strike a strong cord with me, is exactly these Topics and many more you can take out of it as long as you know a lot :-)
