So this time line essentially keeps ALIENS and ALIEN3 as cannon...mentioning a prison planet, a power loader, interstellar marines......I'm liking it. I have so many questions!!
:) Indeed! It's definitely an exciting time to be an ALIEN fan!

Ah, the heck with it.  They could still keep all the same "events", but move the time-line.  I mean, they are already making up the shit, anyways...so would "fans" really complain if the events in "A L I E N" and ALIENS took place a hundred years further into the future then what the original films stated.

EDIT:  On second thought, I am certain they would find a reason to complain.

YES. I would, at least :P

Fair enough.  I won't harp on the matter anymore.  I suspect I am in the minority on this issue, anyway.

The problem, as I have already mentioned, is that "Prometheus" and "Alien" now have to take place in some "alternative" reality.  I mean, look at Kubrick's 2001:  A Space Odyssey.  Basically, the Weyand time-line is setting us up for the same decoherence between reality and fantasy.  If they simply pushed everything back another hundred or more years, then we could still "dream" of the possibility.  The way it stands now...it isn't going to happen in our "universe".

If they pushed it another 100 years it might still work, but this timeline is simply too all over the place for me, while all the films pretty much have set dates. I rather get the impression not only might Prometheus be in some alternate universe, but it seems to be heading away from Alien altogether, while some evidence to the contrary in this timeline, may simply be a polite nod to the films but nothing more.  ???

I find some of this stuff a little hard to swallow. It does seem we're going on an alternate timeline from Weyland inventing a synthethic trachea when he was 14, I'm not sure that was even a legal use of stem-cell research then, of course I'd like to be proved wrong.

At 25 he invents a use of solar panels to make a continual summer solstice and collect continual solar energy - wouldn't that have adverse side-effects on the weather? He probably needed to get that polar ice-cap atmos up there to cancel out the shiz he pulled with the solar panels!  ::)

He then goes on to Cure Cancer before the TED Talk even happens...  :o

Its like theyre making this guy a superhero but we all know what happens to his Company after he's gone, or is it really going to be that Yutani corrupts the once beneificial MegaCorp.

Also where was the Holo-Environ-Simulator in the ALIEN films, you mean that park environ Ripley sat in at Gateway Station? Wasn't really a Holo Environment was it? And that was 150 years or so after this was invented!  ;D

I wouldn't mind an ATV NR6 though, it can go vertically!  :) We're bound to see it in the film and the Dialectic Implant means we may see some Yutani people about, as there is no gap between English and Japanese conversations now.

The Synapse Reestablisher may get some screentime too.

Oops...they spelled "Acheron" wrong:

QuoteDiscovery of Archeron LV-426
Weyland astronomers discover multiple moons and a ringed planet just outside the Zeta 2 Reticula System, which are possibly able to support life. Weyland expects to travel there within the century

I enjoy the scientific knowledge you bring to the table, but i also have no qualms with the timeline presented here. I've already accepted that it takes place in a world other than our own, as so many science fiction films do. I don't know that anyone would go in with the mindset that this all may one day be a reality. I mean, i suppose it could be, but that'd be highly unlikely.

Cvalda

I doubt it's worth getting too worked up over some of the sillier aspects of this--just remember, this isn't the movie, this a viral marketing website designed to be a fun thing for fans. Most of this stuff, aside from obviously glaring plot points, probably isn't even going to be referenced in the film.

harlock

Also it says the Lifeboat can sustain someone for 50 years, perhaps the link to ALIEN is part of the film is set after ALIEN when someone scavenges a Lifeboat with one of the crew in it??  :o

Maybe all references to the Nostromo and the alien collection is wiped due to the warning this crew member gives to the Company. Cue ALIENS a few more decades after...

ThisBethesdaSea

An alternate time line to what exactly? People, this is pure fiction, science fiction. Come now. Just enjoy this, Jesus.

Cure for the Common Cancer

Scientists from the Health Division identify the genetic chain of events for 98% of cancers. Using genetically-altered cells as well as elements found beyond Earth's heavens, Weyland successfully deploys an effective cure for almost all cancers.

This part also bothers me in relation to ALIENS, where we learn from Burke not all cancers have been cured, that Ripley's daughter indeed died of cancer a few years prior in (pressumably) 2177, yet Weyland Industries was able to cure most cancers by 2022, over 150 years before the fact!!  This just doesn't seem right at all.

Haha, good one!
