MemberOvomorphNovember 10, 2012I just posted a reply to one of our posters here and I want to generalize it as it concerns us all who post our opinions on this site.
As we share our ideas and opinions here lets keep in mind that there are few solid facts as none of us were on the inside of the writing or production team during the making of this film. Having said that there is a lot of information out there especially with the introduction of documentaries like the Furious Gods and others. There is much value in sharing our hypotheses and opinions as all of us are privy to either little known facts that can be referenced or we may have solid insights that enrich our Prometheus community here. But after reading too many posters who seem to forget that their opinions are not facts but rather hypotheses I feel the need to remind us all to exercise caution and avoid claims that any of us have the definitive answers because the only real fact is that none of us are working with solid info but rather are sharing our hunches, educated guesses, hypotheses and theories. If we do this then we can all benefit from well thought out insights by any one of us. We are all trying jointly to uncover the many mysteries behind this movie using limited knowledge.
We do have sources like interviews, additional deleted scenes or alternative scenes and endings and documentaries. If we go by what data we do have we can arrive at some pretty accurate hypotheses together. I enjoy reading others opinions and sometimes great links that I would otherwise never know about, and sharing my ideas as well. I was trained as a scientist and they taught us to think critically and keep an open mind while exploring the unknown. Let us all be better scientists than the ones on board of the Prometheus and see what we can discover together.
With great respect to all here,
