I haven't noticed if anyone has addressed the issue of these eggs yet? I can't imagine they would just be stones and serve no purpose unless the Jockeys have a thing for zen gardens.
Jockey's Zen garden, LOL! Good one. I think the blue humanoid we've been seeing is not the Elder God, the Engineer, or the Jockey. This may be a mutated David, also seen in the beginning of the trailer, standing over the waterfalls. Vicker's words are very mysterious: "King has his reign. Then he dies. It's inevitable." She talks about death as absolute. She is warning against hubris of immortality which is probably Weyland's ambition.
I agree, I've suspected the same thing since his first reveal. It does go along with the mythological implications of the title after all. However, I have trouble believing that all this tech that surrounds him was simply
grown after he 'stole the fire', it had to have only been in place beforehand. Or was it...?
The original '79 Jockey was shown to be massive in size as compared to humans. Would the size of Kane's "thousands of eggs" match in comparison to the size of that Jockey symmetrically to how they would for a smaller human who had adopted their science?
In the new trailer we are shown the segment where Noomi sheds a tear while looking at the ceiling, which is rapidly "changing". It breathes new life into the idea of the derelict being a bio-mechanical, organic,
grown structure. I suspect those little eggs to be miniature facehugger pods, containing something more protozoic like the slithering creature we've been seeing, or the early facehugger design cited earlier in the thread. Also consider the wriggling substance atop the coptic jar, and the much more voluminous goop shown being removed by David.
Considering how quickly the xeno in the original Alien was to develop, the whole rapid growth thing is never to be tossed aside when considering these films.
