space jockey

The idea was the Jockey was part of the chair. A perfect study of Giger's biomechanic aesthetic.

I AM JUST SAYING MAYBE IT WAS A FILMMAKERS MISTAKE.

There's a big difference in "maybe" and "here is a photo proving that a facehugger cannot do anything with this creature"

I'm not saying it isn't.  I'm just saying, that it could be part of the chair and the ship and at the same time, inside a suit.

Well seeing the pic makes me realise that it can be part of a suit, hmm...

Nevermind if a facehugger can hug a Jockey...  From the film it is obvious it can. 

But what about the resulting alien?  What would a jockey alien look like?  My theory is that it would be much bigger than the aliens we've seen, possibly even bigger than a Queen.  Yes, I know there is no evidence to support this.. but wait until we see the Predalien.  If the Predalien is much bigger than the other aliens, than the Jockey alien would be too, logically.

Now I want to see Jockey Alien VS Predator.

the hugger puts a tube down the hosts throat, the tube is flexible (in aliens you can see it moving in the crio tube to the sides) so the hugger just surrounds the "nose" or whatever that tube of the jokey is, and puts the tube down his mouth.

also has much as we know the jokey tube could also be flexible before fossilizing

Anyone have a scan of Destroying Angels handy?

I'm on the lookout for that comic now.  There's not that much Jockey material out there so looks like an interesting find.

You guys want a scan of the jockey about to get face hugged or that big alien at the end.

Only post the latter if you've warned everyone that they're about to piss themselves laughing.

The jockey: "I wash myself with a rag on a stick"

You didn't warn me...

No I have to go and wash MYSELF with a rag on a stick...

[gameoverman]

The Jockey looked worse.  Like an overgrown Jabba the Hutt with hair.  Wtf did they put hair on the Jockey anyway?

The Jockey alien looks ok.

Btw, thanks fluxcap for posting the pics.

[SM]

Looks like a hugger rooted a saxophone.

No problem gameoverman.
