I purchased and am reading "The Alien Vault". Around page 75 it declares that even TODAY the implication from Aien which resonates is that the Space Jockey is a pawn in a much bigger play, a small pice of a much larger puzzle in that the Jockey itself is intended to be completely benign and benevolent...in other words...an innocent VICTIM of some other Culture and Race. I thought it was an "eye opener" and read it back to myself about 7 times last night!!! Go check it out of you can I did not make this up.

Rizzle - I like your thoughts. If indeed we are going to see the space-jockey in this movie (I'm still not 100% convinced that the blue guy behind the 'S' [b]is[/b] the SJ) , then we will need to be introduced to the larger mystery of who does the SJ work for? Because it can't just end with the SJ - right? I believe you are bang on target there. Looking at those two SJ suits in the hall with Noomi, I have to ask myself, is that the best place to keep a bio-suit? How would you get into it? To me they look more like statues on a pedestal. Look at the base...look at the floor - instructions or high praise?

The way we make statues of our heroes. I'm more interested in what is inside those 'hybernation' chambers on the floor of the SJ room. What is inside those? Maybe the real SJs? Thoughts...? OMG I just saw the

There are different perceptions of the Space Jockeys. I have read about how they are benevolent and hope to meet mankind under better circumstances.....but they are also shown to be malevolent, perhaps even ambivalent. Considering that these are supposedly godlike entities, it's realistic to assume that since they have a higher technological capability and a higher level of intelligence, they wouldn't need to take their creations' well-being or interests to heart. As for the Space Jockey being something subordinate......well, damn. That reminds me of the issue of "what created that which created that which created that which created that which created that which created that which created that which created that which created that which created God," that sort of thing. I'm sure that since the Space Jockeys are a physical, sentient species, they probably believe in some higher power of sorts, some celestial entity that just [i]is[/i] (kind of like how we humans perceive God). I ordered Alien: Vault a few days ago at Barnes & Noble, and I'm looking forward to receiving it so I can dig into it......there was a copy available there, but once I noticed that the book is chock-full of little pieces of paper and what-not, I distrusted that it had everything, so I'm hoping for a fresh copy soon.

I like the man uses the squid against the engineers tact. I thought of that last night. Also, Shaw and Holloway may get to third base before Shaw backs it all off. This will create a bit of tension between the two. Later Holloway is transformed into a monster and goes back to rape Shaw. Shaw gives birth to the squid. So, we have a Daughter of Shaw like we had a Son of Kane. Shaw uses the squid to attack the Engineers. The last (and first) point is a stretch because Shaw seemed repulsed by having an Alien coming out of her. I don't know why she would be freaked since it is a historic moment. So, it is hard to believe Shaw will get close enough to the squid or face huger to purposefully unleash it on the Engineers. Also, the SJ helmet looks like a face huger. If that is connected, then the Engineers get all kissy face with Aliens.
