Remnants of Elizabeth Shaw …

REALLY love that poster!!

Looks like a fresh corpse. Normally it would begin to decompose after 2-3 days, even if there is no microscopic life(bacterias,etc.) on this planet.

The internal bacterias from the body are enough and would begin to decompose it from the inside and causing the skin to bloat while the skin color changes to necrotic darker colours.

If the body is fresh then Dr.Shaw lived with David on this planet for years, doing whatever she planned to do.

Leaked bts image. Curiously, her eyes are open, here.

Gralen, it looks like she has been plastinated like the other specimens in David's "colllection".

Amazing poster !!

The subject of Shaw is a tough one.

I wonder if the set reports, which stated Shaw was held up in a "room" (unsure of exact wording) with  spacesuits - were actually correct and it was set on the Jugganaut where we see the suits as the crew are walking around.

Im just wondering if there was an edit and Shaws actions post bombing resulted in her being held captive on the ship as Davids new toy.

Resulting in what we see in Covenant.

DMX1138 - Great spot on the eyes open !!!!!!!!

@ sherris: I've never heard that before re. the set report? Was that when select journos were allowed to visit the set?

Shaw's death is a touchy subject indeed as their just isn't the information on her demise before nor after, as well as the majority of fans wanting her to live on and get some closure to her personal demons. When all along she was walking with one.

It's hard to make out what has actually happened to her in those pics. Looks like her head is resting on her rib-cage … 

love the poster, brilliantly made

I myself prefer the reason of Shaw's death never be revealed. I like keeping the mystery, maybe she died of some kind of satanic ritual or self sacrifice or in David's hand whatever, just please keep the reason of death as secret. 

Wild stuff but great diy poster. I guess she had to die, really those Engineers would hate her and David just like the ones on LV223. However she appeared well enough to repair David and search for paradise using engineer maps. I still like the subliminal thought that repairing David and setting course for Paradise may ultimately sacrifice her life but releasing David on the engineers would be a powerful ally to those on earth. Thus the covenant. I'm just glad David did not threaten earth itself and only the non-astronaut MORONS that Waylen Yutani sends into space. At least there was this mystery. Very disappointed with FOX, Brandywine and Ridley for this film and lack of horror,suspense or anything close to the quality of Alien and Aliens 

It pains me to think about Elizabeth Shaw, spiritual being that she was. I hope she did not suffer in dying. I prefer to imagine that David euthanized her, during cryosleep -at peace, dreaming of her God.

But....who knows?

By the way the movie was excellent!

Shaw is the queen, so she killed Bishop the android for revenge. 

great poster indeed.

I think people had big expectations build up towards seeing and hearing more about Shaw.  Maybe those went to lead their own life and hopes...maybe the set repport was what we see in the movie, just a description that is maybe not so detailed so it leaves room for interpretation ?

as for my own thoughts on Shaw...I feel kinda mixed about her...on one hand she bugged and irritated me, on the other hand it was nice seeing a complex character like hers.  Think I'll go with some posters above that I'm okay with the mystery surrounding her death...one's own imagination is very powerfull

Well, in the book David says this:

"I held her in the utmost respect. But eventually that was lost to time and necessity. I kept her alive for quite a while. I like to think that was another testament to my creativity, although she might have disagreed. She was my most beautiful subject."

I really did want to see more of Shaw's body and more information of tests that David did on her.  Ridley Scott did say that more than 20 minutes were cut from the film.  Hoping that we can see more?  Could it be possible that Alien Awakening will take this on?  

@Tiwaz that kinda says it all, doesn't it? The imagination can run wild and free with that. She suffered greatly, I'm afraid.

I think they could have handled it a bit different, the whole Davids Workshop is a Hall of Plot Holes.... but thats for another day ;)

I think there was better ways to have shown the experiments, but now it seems David has been experimenting with the effects of the the Black Goo and something was created that David used to then Impregnate Shaw that maybe leads to something he removed from her but also something else growing inside that comes from her Mouth.

The Organism/contraption she is attached to it a bit confusing, as it looks like its something she is attached to.. and so we have to wonder, did this Grow from her?  Or is it something that attached to her.

The other Concept works would seem to indicate the latter.

Ps...

Nice poster

I'd wager that "contraption" might have kept her "alive" while David did what he did.

Ugh it's so horrible it almost makes me want to cry. What a terrible fate for Shaw. :(

@Tonehound Thanks for posting this, i'm going to feature it.

@ Tiwaz:

"I held her in the utmost respect. But eventually that was lost to time and necessity. I kept her alive for quite a while. She was my most beautiful subject."

That's cold and telling, right there. I wonder by "keeping her alive for a while" he meant in human form … or what we saw in the movie and in the above pics? With each new piece of information, we seem to be given a key to open another door, only to find yet another locked door :/

Yes. I think it's better to let our imagination run wild, which has been Ridley's intent from the beginning.

'Ugh it's so horrible it almost makes me want to cry. What a terrible fate for Shaw. :('

Lilly, don't cry, it's just a clone. :)

Tonehound, and we know that he is lying continuously, so anything is possible...
