LV-223, people. That and "there are more ships." Helps.

I thought the only ship to exist was the crashed one on LV-426. Oh my!

Re: Prometheus - Spoiler thread!

So whatever. I've had more fun talking about this flick then any other movie. And I love it even more when the people who don't like it ask questions, and I try to answer using the evidence in the film. It's really, really fun.

Just because people are asking questions about the film doesn't mean they didn't like it. Your claim to be an Alien know-it-all should lead you to answer questions of those who haven't spent their life knee-deep in Alien lore. I really enjoyed the film but still have questions nonetheless. I come here to be enlightened, not belittled.

Why does every one think it's a queen? Doesn't look at all like a queen. And not every Alien that is birthed is a queen.

It's just a normal Alien thing.

And you just found out? It was never going to be that.

See my response above...

Vickers should have been dismembered, I really wanted to see if she bled or had milky white insides.

Re: Prometheus - Spoiler thread!

Chimps and humans have only a 1.5% variation in their DNA.

A human with different skin color or who is taller than average would still read as basically human in a DNA profile. Humans raised in distinctly different environments than Earth's would develop differently with the same DNA.

But no 2 humans have the same DNA, so the overlay thing was a bit dumbed down and misleading.

I don't think it's a queen OR a xenomorph as we know them. It's perhaps at best a 'missing link' sort of thing.

Maybe it's a Dinomorph -- meaning that's how far removed it is from our good ol' Giger alien.

She screamed when she died. David didn't scream when his head was ripped off.

But Ridley tried hard to make you think she was a robot. A bit too hard I think.

Janek would know.

Re: Prometheus - Spoiler thread!

Yeah it was a totally different variety, probably just due to all the crap it had to go through to be brought into existence, lol.

I meant bloodstream, NOT those insides

Re: Prometheus - Spoiler thread!

We don't even know if it's the same type of Alien or related to the one we're familiar with from the 1979 movie. It was similar looking, but it raises more questions than answers.

Im not trying too.

And its not just you about the queen thing, tons of people said the same thing, but all negative and all that.

Also, i know as much as anyone who has that quadrilogy dvd set.

I know this post is all jumbled, but the itouch is hard to discuss with, but i didnt say that only people who didnt like it ask questions, i have a ton of questions, but being the alien nerd i am, id rather answer them then ask. Ya know?

That proto's last jaw-pop reminds me of this:

David wasn't programmed to pass for human, thats why he wasn't in stasis. Plus, men had a hard time resisting an android or moving them in the other movies, Vickers man handled David.

I don't know -- Ripley slammed Ash up against the wall pretty easy in Alien before he went haywire.

Not sure what's gained by Vickers being a robot at this point. If she lived, then it would be worth guessing what she may pay off as.

Re: Prometheus - Spoiler thread!

She was just cold, not a robot in my opinion.

Re: Prometheus - Spoiler thread!

Humans can be worse than robots. That was her. IMHO
