Engineers and Black Goo?

[Highland]

Is it possible that they'll soft-retcon the goo from Prometheus?

Keep the events and plot intact but retcon the relationship of the engineers to the xeno, why the seeding of life or dna or whatever, their age and factions etc. Their 'lords blood'..perhaps a 'soft' change from Decon blood to xenomorph blood?

Well technically it's not really Prometheus that does that, it's Covenant.

I think its likely Scott just wanted the black stuff to make f**ked up things then had 6 glasses of wine and Covenant happened.

I think the goo being arbitrary is a Lindelof "Just have shit happen and call it a mystery" special. In Spaiht's script there were distinct eggs for distinct effects.

Being a Lost fan, I totally recognize Lindelof tricks here.

Probably better, feels like it makes the universe bigger.Makes the Jockey even more interesting. Could even still attack the biblical angle if it's Noah's Ark.

I feel like anything we find out in Romulus will just be an excuse to make someone's face explode. Hope I'm wrong though.

Faces are already exploding

Rewatched Prometheus just this morning and now onto Covenant. Brings up my on-the-fence feelings regarding the black goo.

[BigDaddyJohn]

Rightfully so.

Been a while since I watched Covenant properly. Forgot how visceral Ledward's backburster scene is.

Too bad we don't know shit about him prior to his death.

Too bad we don't know shit about him prior to his death.

According to Ben Rigby, the feller who plays him, he was in the army (it's unknown what army, exactly) before being recruited for the Covenant mission. Of course, that assertion is made outside the sphere of canon, but Ledward had to have had some kind of combat background to be accepted in the first place.

Shortly before the Covenant launched in 2104, Ledward and the rest of Lopé's team (minus Lopé) helped Daniels foil saboteur Eric Sasaki, who was threatening to blow up one of the terraforming bays. Ledward wanted to shoot Sasaki in the head, but Daniels chose to negotiate with him.

Great scene, though it probably could have done without the second blood slip. Love the music during it too.

Love Kurtzel's score for that film. Was listening to his Snowtown score (his brother directed that one) and there are signature tones and beats to what we hear in the `Medbay' track.

Also this. Why the need for the second slip while the scene is dead serious ? It's goofy and out of place. Can't they come with anything else in order to make the characters in difficulty ?

But its "darwinism!"

[The Cruentus]

So many silly actions happen.

Ledworth saying he is going to take a piss only to just have a ciggy break. Why didn't he just say he was going for a ciggy break?  Hardly an illegal or bad reason.

Hallet putting his face right up to a spore sac.

Rosenthal going off alone etc.
