Giger always is victim of "time and budget" problems.
The Deacon sucks!
It makes complete sense to me. Not only it's the first intermediate stage between the chtulhu-reptiloids and humanoids, but that thing is young. If the Aliens series has told us anything, the babies shed their skin when they grow, and the adult is quite radically different. Even the most advanced birth in ALIEN 3 showed us an infant which was very thin and skinny.
I believe it sticks with the slick aspect of the tech and even the ship. All is clean inside the ship, while the derelict's very structure in ALIEN has been corrupted, like if the xenomorph almost grew out of the biomechanoid tech.
In Prometheus, we weren't there yet.
The contamination, obviously pre-programmed to build serpentine lifeforms, went straight into humanoids.
Now, if the Engineers' tech is somehow alive or something along that, then the corruption while have to get there first to capture the Giger aspect of it.
So we'll get the bony facehuggers and the eggs.
The problem, I guess, is that too many fans wanted the bridge to be closed immediately.
I think it's a given in ALIEN that the generational mutation has already been established as quick enough, so much that any movie sequel to Prometheus could already show us the next step, much closer to the Giger design.
This movie requires patience. Besides, many would have bitched about the
even greater fan service if we already had plenty of quasi-xenos all over the movie.
