[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] Interesting stuff. I did wonder why the ship looked a little different in Aliens. Now if only there was a similar letter from Ridley Scott. As for the shape of the derelict, there is a shot of the original artwork by HRG on which the ship's design is based in the Alien DVD. Basically those protrusions we see sticking out are the tail ends of a 'U' shaped vessel. From dialog in the novel those are theorised as being the engines. Regarding the circumstances of the ship's infection and subsequent landing, I agree with Cameron. Sometimes it's best not to know. However it's not too hard the theorise a believable scenario, it's not like an intelligent audience needs to be spoon fed every conceivable plot-point. [QUOTE] Doesn't it take longer than a few hundred years for organic matter to fossilize? [/QUOTE]I'm not sure exactly, I think it depends on the chemistry involved. However I am slightly curious just what the organic material would be replaced by in the environment. Still the timescale doesn't really matter, it could have been there 1,000 years or 1,000,000. Either way the results are the same. [QUOTE] Also, I don't believe the Space Jockey was alone in there. If the team had had time to search the ship floor-by-floor, something more ought to have turned up. [/QUOTE]If it was as organic on the inside as it was on the outside then I don't believe it had 'floors' per-say, at least not in the naval sense. More likely just a set of interconnected chambers and passageways. Still the possibility of other crewmembers is there, however if that were the case then surely a hive would have been established. If that were so then I don't think the queen would have left all those eggs unattended. [QUOTE] One really strange thing is that although the derelict ship sits in a very strange angle in the bedrock, the floors are levelled normally in the Space Jockey room and the egg chamber. [/QUOTE]If the beacon and the 'stasis field' was still opperational then it's reasonable to assume that the artificial gravity still worked too. [/QB][/QUOTE]
