Quote from: Highland on Sep 25, 2012, 12:00:08 AMAs I remember it, there's a scene in one of the episodes that shows the black goo - v1.1 - X-files edition, that infects some sort of early primate. Actually I think that might even be in the movie? I don't think the X-files ever links the V1.1 goo to the origin of human life - Could be wrong, been yonks since I watched it.
QuoteAccording to the series mythology, an extraterrestrial lifeform, known in the series' mythology simply as the Colonists, were originally present on Earth in the early stages of human evolution.
QuoteA theory concocted by doctor Sacks and FBI Special Agent Dana Scully is that the black oil came to Earth prehistorically on a meteor from Mars that also carried the first building-blocks of life to Earth. The virus then thrived on Earth and infected primitive humans, completely changing their physiology and transforming them into alien life-forms themselves. In the planet's last ice age, these aliens died and the virus lay dormant underground until it resurfaced during Earth's current geologic period.

Quote from: Highland on Sep 25, 2012, 12:43:58 AMI don't think any of that stuff actually happens though. Now that I watched (used google) it again the primates just come across a dead alien so that would contradict the meteor theory.
Quote from: Highland on Sep 25, 2012, 12:43:58 AMThen you'd have the conflict, that if the black goo hitched a ride on a Bruce Willis meteor, how come it's got ships and a grand plan to take over the world? #Villain voice#
Quote from: Highland on Sep 25, 2012, 12:43:58 AMI always thought the black goo in the X-files was the alien, it wasn't responsible for anything other than looking out for itself - bit like "The Thing"
Quote from: Highland on Sep 25, 2012, 12:43:58 AMThe goo in Prometheus seems more like a chemical as opposed to a life form.
QuoteThe meteor stuff happens before the movie. The black oil is found all over the planet
Quote from: Cvalda on Sep 25, 2012, 12:53:21 AMBecause it had a couple billion years to get to that point?
