Possibly, though in Alien I thought they had a pretty good look inside the suit through the hole, so they might well have noticed that the suit had a tiny human or android rattling around inside it.


It's been a while since I've seen it, so that could possibly put a hole in the idea, pun intended.

Given the Engineers on the planet seem like they were mostly killed off by the aliens long in the past and I think the Space Jockey in Alien was supposed to be long dead and crystallised the logical, to me anyway, thing would be for the Space Jockey to have been either trying to flee the disaster but accidentally took an alien along with him or was already infected and going to find more life to infect.


I don't think it was the xenomorphs that killed the Engineers on the base in the first place. If they had, there would have been eggs all over the place like in the ship from Alien, and all the Engineer corpses would have had burst chests, which they did not. I think something else killed them, some other weapon they were working on, and the cannisters of baby facehuggers hadn't been activated.

Overall, however, I wouldn't be surprised if they were unable to offer a plot-hole-free link between Prometheus and Alien, but I hope they prove me wrong.

Meh. The movie was OK, I feel like it tried to do too much and didn't finish anything it started beetnemesis - 10/06/2012 03:24:16 AM 1054 Views

Nothing in this post can spoil the film as badly as the script writer did, so it could be worse *NM* snoopcester - 12/06/2012 08:41:36 PM 571 Views
