I want to ask a few questions on the confired lindeloff script. 1 What do you think about shaw commenting that the engineer commited suicide ie. That he let the iris door close around his neck on purpose and later on many engineers jump into pits commitiing suicide ? Why were they commiting suicie ? Were they infected ? 2 We never see anyone taking of their helmets until david takes them to see the engineer. Was this introduced in a later draft or was this done during filming as different to the script ? 3 When david rolled the forward he came to the part where bob panicked and that he then put himself in cryo stasis. Do think this show he was part of them os from different faction and also was he the only not to get infected ? 4 all the people were paid in advance not lnowing what they were going to do so the plot was non existent here . Why was it added and was this in a later draft or was it done on the fly while filming ??

These are things that could be easy to fix in Paradise. Like i said they could revamp the Elders to be a Taller Race of Engineers who created the Smaller ones just as the Anunaki created the Lgigi.

Then I expect to see some serious cases of gigantism in the engineers of the sequel, like this guy :p [img]http://i1271.photobucket.com/albums/jj636/skybeast3/Robert_Wadlow_zps777c5213.jpg[/img]

And by the way I saw when Spaights says that Fox executives are responsible for the arrival of Lindelof and changes in the prequel. But one of the big mysteries is change the container for the green Crystal...because seriusly...What does that mean?! [quote]You see this world the Engineer Sacrificed himself on had trees and plant life, in order for that it needs CO2 which in order for that needs basic Lifeforms and Bacteria. Water is a building block of Life, but so too is CO2 and Carbon, thus to me the scene implies that the Engineers broken down DNA and genetic Material was dissolved and carried within the Black Goo which then came into contact with basic organisms and started to Evolve and Change them. [/quote] Yes, you are right, but I imagine that there will be an "intelligent design", that, or that the operation of the scarabs is still plausible, even with the black goo. Another odd thing is that I dont see how the xenomorph may be practical weapons to kill other species...And then how they get rid of these monsters? There must be a reason to use this weapon, perhaps to extract DNA from us or to revive any extinct creature. BTW, the black goo is somewhat similar to that black liquid form District 9. In fact may also alter DNA and cause mutationsbut the funny thing is that this goo insectoid used as fuel XD [img]http://i1271.photobucket.com/albums/jj636/skybeast3/district9_4_zpsc9128a2e.jpg[/img] [img]http://i1271.photobucket.com/albums/jj636/skybeast3/district9bdcap4_original_zpse827535b.jpg[/img]

"But one of the big mysteries is change the container for the green Crystal...because seriusly...What does that mean?!" Well if its a change that comes as part of Lindeloff then again its his usual lol... to be fair though the movie was shot with his draft and so the changes to Crystall must have come from Ridley or Fox. District 9 what a film that was lol.. And as far as the Robert Wadlow image you posted, this guys looks a fair share larger to that person than the Engineer did to the crew of Prometheus yet that Engineer was supposed to be over 1ft taller than Robert Wadlow, having been revised down from being a supposed 3ft taller than him lol... But again i guess its case of how to we create the Illusion. But Lord of the Rings showed years ago how this can be achieved.

Maybe doing this kind of trickery was too time consuming and costly for Prometheus Budget but i do hope they can use similar to give us better scale of the Elders in Paradise.

@shambs, In a little short story i entered into that prop contest, the Engineers used Xenomorphs because it was an efficient way of wiping out a population, while preserving that planet's future habitability. Kill the people, not destroy the world.

Now, that's not canon, of course...but i think it makes sense.

Well we do not know for sure how Ridley wanted the Xeno to Evolve from Alien, and we do not know how safe it was to move any Eggs that was Morphed but we do know that the Eggs on the Derelict was not a Safe Weapon to Store. As Ridley did say one of the Cargo got to the Space Jockey. If we expand upon that with Aliens and the Queen, then while this would appear to be perfect Weapon to a degree, it is also a Weapon that can procreate well and a World could end up being invested with Millions and Millions of Eggs, even if the Xeno dies out maybe the Eggs can survive? Unless they only can if they are kept under certain conditions and Stasis.... So while they may have used the Xeno and Urns as Bio Weapons, maybe they are only useful for destroying current Life on the Targeted World. A Nuke is the Perfect Weapon for Destruction but if WW3 broke out and say a country Nuked another say if Russia Nuked the UK or at least did 10X more damage to it than Hiroshima. Well if the Russians wanted to use London or gain London well it would be of new use to them due to the fall out. So its not a ideal Weapon if you intend to use the land you bomb for your own gain and i feel the same thing is with the Xeno. That it maybe just a Weapon that is used to rid of a threat and not used to take land or a planet... Unless their is a bigger picture and purpose for the Bio Weapons.
