Indeed, that was an entralling scene. What are some of the questions you still need answered? What was that scene in the beginning. It looks like he drank the stuff? Why would he do that. It didn't look intentional? Or was it? A few ways to look at it. He commited suicide due to the fact that all the other Engineers were infected with the alien virus and were wanting to harm/destroy what they created (Humans/Earth.) Or. . . In order to create life one must die. He drinked the alien DNA, it combined with his thus destroying him in the process to make life in the ocean. I'm just going by what I kinda picked up during the film, I bet there are some people that has already disembolwed this film from top to bottom and knows everything.

After having read Wikipedia, I pretty much subscribe to the theory that he sacrificed/killed himself to "seed" the planet (Earth) with his DNA, that being the Engineers.
Since we look like them and have the same DNA, it's safe to say that they gave us life. The real questions I have will hopefully be answered in the sequel, if there is one. Why change their minds and want to kill us by sending the Alien DNA to infect/kill us?
Why if Prometheus is seperate from the Weaver Alien series, why use Weyland and that form of Alien, the Space Jockey, etc. but it's the wrong planet from the first Alien film, the space jockey was not on his ship and certainly not decayed thousands of years, etc.
It's homage, nod, connection, what exactly?

Why change their minds and want to kill us by sending the Alien DNA to infect/kill us? Because you first have to have an opponent to have fun destroying them?? If we weren't here (and those other places that lit up in the map) they wouldn't be able to be evil and let their destruction freak on. My theory anyway. And sequel. Yes please. With a cherry on top. ;D

I guess that's possible. What "God" creates he can also destroy. They weren't the only ones intrigued by the Xenos. It seems Weyland and his group felt that way from the start.
A bit of Alien trivia : David, Call, Bishop, Ash. All robots, in descending order of series, Prometheus, Alien 4, 3, 2 & 1.
I wish they hadn't ripped off/homaged A3 though. That seemed to played out.
I would be all over another film from Ridley Scott.

Since you all are now the admins. who gets the joy of trying to contact GB to get us back up? Especially on a Sat. night...my hopes are not up.... I am going to inquire more about that, but essentially no one but Foo. He pays the bills to the globat bitches, they have nothing on me or any others, so we are just some random guy saying "fix it!".
