Alien Covenant 'Facts'

"Sir Peter Weyland's only legitimate child...Ms. Vickers was in line to become CEO of Weyland upon the death or resignation of her father."

Weyland-Yutani Report, page 46. 

Great stuff Ati.

I always felt that David 1 was the Proto-type and maybe even some latter models are the same David with some adjustments, but then when any significant advancements were made to the Synthetics Mechanics etc

That the Memories and Experiences of previous David Proto-types are passed on to the first Proto-type of the newer advanced models.

This made sense as surely Weyland would want the very best Technological Synthetic as his own personnel David but he would also want the Personality of his constantly emotionally evolving David too, as this was the closest to a Son Weyland ever had.

But it could appear that FOX/RS are re-writing the Timeline and History/Lore on many aspects of the Franchise that leads up to Alien Covenant.

It will be interesting to see what Timeline of Events/History they stick to or evolve by the time we get the next movie... as it appears the Weyland-Yutani Site information may have to be redacted.

I agree with your theory about David models BigDave. All of it.

Fox took down the timeline that we went by for so long and now have yet to produce an equivalent that reconciles with what we have seen in the movies and read in the novels. I have warmed up to the idea that there are much fewer androids walking around than what I thought before.

Ingeniero - Thank you.

BigDave - 'But it could appear that FOX/RS are re-writing the Timeline and History/Lore on many aspects of the Franchise that leads up to Alien Covenant.'

Indeed.

'Fox took down the timeline that we went by for so long and now have yet to produce an equivalent that reconciles with what we have seen in the movies and read in the novels.'

I jumped to the same conclusion, Ingeniero.

'the idea that there are much fewer androids walking around than what I thought before.'

I like it, and I think it would be interesting to see a new android of a secret Weyland-Yutani project.

"When he leaves Planet 4 in Alien: Covenant he is 79."

Fascinating!  David is 79 years old.  Wow!  He looks good for a 79 year old.

Now thinking about it, I'm surprised with the realism of the androids skin that it didn't age.  That's some very good technology.  I can easily understand why Yutani respects the great modern Renaissance man that Peter Weyland is.
