Re: Official Alien Prequel/Prometheus Discussion Thread
I just completed reading the Weyland Industries timeline which goes from 1990 to 2073. Highlights include androids, pulse rifles, offworld prisons (Firona 161), terraforming, sentry guns, Acheron-LV-426, hypersleep, medpods, atmospheric processing, Colonial Marines, Weyland acquiring Lockheed Martin (Lock-Mart Bison freighter for those who didn't know what the Nostromo was), and a host of other canonical allusions to the series. Love that Ridley has embraced Cameron's film head on as well as a bit of Fincher's film.
