Excellent.. but dis timing, still so wacky...

But I don't want to put that much together, honestly.

Thinking like smart people, here, we have to first admit that Ridley isn't going to release jack shit that spoils jack shit.  He's probably just having a blast with the little bits and pieces they've arranged and rearranged to permanently send inquisitive fans into fits of confusion.

We're all still apparently trying to make sense of the trips out and back, and how what we think we know can fit together in some sort of logical, and timely, progression...

Good good yes yes.

That's just so strange that it's Holloway.  I don't understand the timing.  I swear in that scene he was the one screaming as Shaw and that other lady were helping him back to the ship.

So that was apparently on the first trip out, then everythings cool and they go bone, then he goes back out when more people get jacked up/infected, and Vickers gets all 'he's a creeper ass alien mutant spy, and he's gonna screw our entire ship' and lights him up?

No spoilers, please, just a general nod to whichever direction applies if you feel like replying. :laugh:

Maybe right after the screaming he goes nuts and start doing stuff to the rest,
it would explain why Shaw is on the ground.
Probably because her lover hit her to the ground or something.

I'm fairly sure I deduced that it was Milburn from the International Launch trailer. I think it one version you're able to slow it right down and you can see his name on the helmet. Or at least, if you slow it right down, the name on the top of his helmet has too few characters to spell Holloway. I thought this was obvious.

Loathing Vickers is toasting somebody who has his arms stretched, and in the last picture we see mutated Holloway walking up the ramp he's got his arms stretched, so It gotta be him.

It must be the mohawk guy that is holding Shaw down.

Hope Shaw beheads that f**king bitch with that axe in the end after she "deals" with the engineer, or after the engineer deals with her...
Yeah, she should let whoever it is back on the ship so he can infect the others.  It might be too late at that point but she doesn't know it yet.
Sacrifice one to save many?
or
Let person live and potentially have everyone die?

---- in complete agreement,  Vickers is the hero here as I see it.  She is Captain and has to make hard choices for the sake of everyone,  no one is saying that she has to like it. 

I am a bigger fan of Vickers then Shaw,  Shaw is no Ripley..

Coming out of this,  while I am not sure how anyone could survive given they have no ship,  I want Vickers to be the one who walks away from this one and maybe gets to stick around for another movie

Its Holloway.It seems to me the storm is probably their first trip out.Maybe holloway gets a slow infection.But in one clip i actually saw holloway saving shaw  from the storm with no apparent infection.Im betting thats their first return from the temple or holloway may be infected when hes back on the ship.Them beating the storm except for shaw and the return with vickers and her flame thrower prove at least 2 trips.

I'm new so as not to offend anyone, my comment will be a spoiler:

Spoiler

I watched the clip and enjoyed the parallels between Vickers and Ripley in Alien, with both of them trying to keep the ship free of contamination.  Vickers, of course, seems to be colder and have much more authority than Ripley did, but Ripley was prepared to make the hard choices, even though, as insinuated, she may have been romantically linked to Dallas.

I think that the movie is going to be very good by not being a duplicate of Alien, but there will be "echoes" where we know the  danger facing them, and watch them walk right into it anyway. 

Alfred Hitchcock (I think) once said the difference between shock and suspense is that you can show a man on a bus, and suddenly the bus explodes, and that's shock.  But if you show the man on the bus, then the bomb, then people boarding the bus, the suspense builds, the audience gets tense.

Since this is clearly an Alien prequel, but it appears that the biology of the alien is different and there's no classic face huggers to be seen as of yet, we know that  they're walking into something.  Something bad that's going to turn into Alien.

Also, I have a strange, far out theory that I don't think I've seen mentioned yet about Vickers:

Spoiler


She's an android. A prototype, like Ash, more advanced than David. Having David be the bad guy is just too damn obvious, since they've tried to make him very creepy with the Weyland Industries promotional video, and have succeeded  I mean really, to be creepier than Lance Henriksen?! You win one Internets and a basket of kittens.  David's been promoted as so eerie and creepy that you'll just be waiting for him to "pull an Ash" and betray everyone on behalf of the Company (and you know that train is never late).  So I think Vickers is an android and will be the Ash/Burke and David will turn out to be the good guy.

Call me crazy.....my shrink does.

I don't think Vickers is an android. It wouldn't make sense to have 2 androids at different levels.

Not only that, Ridley has stated that he's not interested in rehashing a twist that's been done already.  That's why David was revealed to be an android from the very beginning.

Charlize mentioned that her character starts opening up more towards the end.  She's just somebody who wants to do her job and she's cold on the surface but she's ultimately very human underneath.

Yeah with the new clips I am liking her a lot more now too. Before she just seemed like a regular suit - but now she has really come to life and looks like a really interesting character.

Prometheus scene from Ellen show, it's same clip with Vickers and David only bit longer.

Yeah - at the end David asks if she wants some tea and she kind of pushes his head sideways with her hand.  I think this was posted already.

If Scott wasn't interested in having another 'who is the android?' twist then we would know who the second replicant ;) is. We don't have a clue, so it's going to be a reveal of sorts.
