Xenophobe
MemberOvomorph01/24/2012Yes I'm well aware this subject has probably been mentioned previously but I can't be assed to read back about 100 discussions before this one. . .
Well as we all seem to know, the xeno's or the "species" as it evolved from perhaps will play a role in this movie. Going by the architecture of the SJ's spaceships and/or buildings we've seen in the trailer and pictures, they're is definitly a similarity between the physique of the Xeno's and the SJ's technology. So who else is wondering how relevant thost similarities are??

MemberOvomorph01/24/2012the question is whether the similarities were intended by Ridley Scott and Dan O'bannon, or is it because H.R. Giger designed both, so both got the bio-mechanical look.

MemberOvomorph01/24/2012It is an interesting point to bring up. I was fortunate to recieve [i]Alien Vault[/i] as a present this Christmas (it is an amazing book and I'd advise anyone to get a copy if they are able to.)
Anywho...there is a piece in the book that states the Space Jockey itself and the Alien have similar features; in particular the fact that both creatures sport a very skeletal rib cage. The book briefly quotes Ridley (I can't cite off hand) but essentially it suggests that the source of the eggs in the silo came from whatever burst out the Space Jockey.

MemberOvomorph01/25/2012Yeah they both seem biomechanical in origin in my opinion! Could this be because in fact, BOT species were created by another unknown species we'll see in Prometheus??
