MemberOvomorph12/7/2011I'm not sure if anyone has considered that the giant head is found on Earth? Maybe all of the Urn's contain the species of earth or are fossilized. This might be where the space jockey or higher beings shrine is on Earth, which shows the initial archaelogists the location of the aliens home world? Just think it is a bit egotystical to have a human head on a world where the space jockeys live?? Although it may be that the higher beings if they are welcoming show the humans a room which is familiar to them, once arriving at the planet.

MemberOvomorph12/7/2011Here's what I heard about that,
The Giant Head {and again this just what I heard form a pretty reliable source if I recall correctly} Is what Powers Prometheus, it is intended to be a "Biomechanical Head" and the Growers{ sorry, "Engineers"} supposedly power these ships with their minds, as Spaihts suggested very early, 2nd or 3rd page I think of the script he pitched to Ridley Scott's Production Company.

MemberOvomorph12/7/2011Does that mean the rumors about the "Bio Brain" are true?

MemberOvomorph12/7/2011I always assumed that Prometheus was the name of the humans ship, so are you saying that the Prometheus is possibly the name of the Engineers ship?? It looks more of a gaurdian or monument to me. Seems a little odd that the Engineers if they are not human would choose to have a human head piloting their space ships.

MemberOvomorph12/7/2011I just thought Of something else.
What I wrote above does not work if it is The "Promehteus" ship we are speaking of so maybe Scott and Lindelof changed that idea to it being how the "ENGINEERS" power THEIR ships.
That would make more sense to me at this point.

MemberOvomorph12/7/2011Yeah that makes sense, looks like there is going to be a lot of mutation in the plot there seems to be a lot of people working on 'prosthetics' makeup, designers, builders, etc; there's a long list on IMDB

MemberOvomorph12/7/2011Just another suggestion: The head could be a label for that particular cave, that it contains stuff applicable to the human race as opposed to the races they may have also tinkered with.
I could see the space jockey being a kind of Prometheus from Greek mythology, who aided humans against the gods wishes. But I also thought I read it was the name of the earth ship.

MemberOvomorph12/7/2011Prometheus has been confirmed as the name of the humans ship. It features in the recent but brief Ridley Scott interview in Entertainment Weekly recently.

MemberOvomorph12/7/2011of one of the human ships ...we are almost sure that there is another ship named Magellan ( how big is that ship we dont know ..but if it have a " magellan deck" must be pretty big )
Biomechanic
MemberOvomorph12/7/2011I think Prometheus is a small science expedition and Megellan is full of people in stasis, maybe colonists.
Spartacus
MemberOvomorph12/7/2011or humans or grunts being frozen and then sold for egg implantation to pirates or renegade generals like in Resurrection.

MemberOvomorph12/8/2011I had not heard about a second human ship in this movie. That's food for thought and I wonder if that's where the "uncivilized behavior" comes in that Ridley mentioned the people of the Prometheus encounter at their destination.

MemberOvomorph12/8/2011I reckon the giant human head is a symbol of what is being created. If you look closely at it, it seems to be rudimentary and of a rough nature as if it was a prototype. Think of neanderthal man almost ape-ish like man. Maybe we'll see differennt versions of human like creatures as the engineers dable and strive to find the perfect match. Question is though, where does the xenos fit in. Prometheus is definitly the name of the exploration ship. We know what this meets - God who stole fire from the higher gods and was punished. SO I assume one intrepid drew member does a runner with the DNA and the sj unlesh hell and decide that humans are not worth the effort. Dam them all!!!

MemberOvomorph12/8/2011Judging my the size of the cast there may well be two ships. Maybe the second ship arrives as a result of what is found by the scientists and contains the merceneries
DinosaurRaghhh
MemberOvomorph12/8/2011I was just thinking that a scientific expedition wouldn't have merceneries invovled. It would be a good plot to have two ships. Maybe the scientists make contact and all is going well until the second ships crew gets involved and it all goes to ****, space jockey style ......
Frantz
MemberOvomorph12/8/2011well usually a scientific expedition should have some military protection ... and a campany can hire mercenaries to escort them ... BTW is also possibile that Mercernaries + mechanics + cocooned guy are all part of an ill fated previous mission ( the magellan )
