Poll: AvP vs AvPR

[SM]

They were heading in a straight line back they way they come from which was from Earth.  Then the hull gets ruptured within stones throw of Earth.  Where else is there for them to go?

Even if they're not going to Earth - why travel all the way to Saturn then double back?

[Ghostface]

I think it's safe to chalk it down to style over substance, like most of the film. They really wouldn't have put a lot of thought into it, it just looked kewl.

[SM]

Reckon.

[SiL]

Sorry left this bit out, do not forget they were not heading directly at earth until there hull was ruptured.

Yes they were.

Its not the third anymore.

Yeah it is. Mercury and Venus are the only two bodies labeled planets between us and the sun.

Also we can not be sure if there is or isn't life on Mercury

Sure we can. Firstly, it has no atmosphere. Secondly, we've mapped it, and there's shit-all but craters. Thirdly, the planet alternates between freezing and boiling. Predators would be screwed.

or the planets closer too the sun than Mercury.

What planets?

Soon we may have 13 planets listed as being in our solar system.

Based on ... ?

[DoomRulz]

They were heading in that direction. I have no idea why, but I don't think they planned on going back to Earth in the first place.

[SM]

Where were they going then?

Its not the third anymore.

  If on the extremely off chance they find a microbe on Mercury or Venus - how is a Predator going to hang that on the wall after the fierce struggle it has with it?

Soon we may have 13 planets listed as being in our solar system.

Who says?  We only just went from 9 planets to 8? 

[KingAngel ofthe Outergulf]

Yes they were.

No there were not, if they were they would not have dove right at the planet when it had a hull breach.

What planets?

It has no name as of yet, and is very difficult to see because it is closer to the Sun than Mercury, and not much is know about that planet ether because how difficult it is too look at.

They're not classed as planets.

If this is what you mean - no, there isn't any such planet

[DoomRulz]

Where were they going then?

The Predator homeworld I assume.

[SM]

Ahh - Now it makes sense!

The Predator homeworld is actually that planet between Mercury and the sun!  That's why Wolf got to Earth so quick!!

  way to fill in the gap in KingAngel's argument.

[SM]

You dun nailed it!

No there were not, if they were they would not have dove right at the planet when it had a hull breach.

Sure they would've.

Got anything to back that up? At all? Because I can't find anything about a planet having been discovered closer to the sun than Mercury.

Eris, Ceres, Haumea, Makemake, Plutino 1999 TC36

Ceres was last listed as a planet several hundred years ago, and none of those fit the current definition of a planet (although strictly speaking, neither does anything else in the solar system). Any new definition of a planet isn't going to include them; at any rate, adding them would add Pluto and Charon back.

[KingAngel ofthe Outergulf]

Sure they would've.

So what is your game here, are you a hater of AvP-R and the fans of AvP-R?  You can't honestly tell me that they were heading too earth on the trajectory they were on with a straight face.  I can not tell if you are being sarcastic and lighthearted or you are being hostile.

Sorry saw it on the news.

Well on the news they were talking about people in the scientific community changing what counts as a planet and how many or in our Solar system.  Those Dwarf Planets may count as reg planets very very soon.

Well I do not know about you but the only time it was bright in AvP-R was when we saw Wolf on his planet, and it also was the only seen saw freaking bright I had to turn the brightness down just prevent my tv from being damaged.

One thing you have to realize is that Science is not ever 100% correct, we always have correction to make to what we thought was correct in the past.  Even if we think we have correct past mistakes in the future people will correct mistakes we made now.

None of the above.

Sorry saw it on the news.

Yet I can't find a single thing about it. Anywhere.

But they wouldn't (and, again, I can't find anything about any of this). About the only change needed to the current definition is for "To have cleared its orbital path" to be replaced with "To be the gravitationally dominant object in its orbit", which would still exclude the dwarf planets.
