Should become a common punishment again for stealing the fire of the original film.

So Prometheus is the ship AI? This just reminded me how long I have to wait :(
The trailer reveals quite a lot more info without telling us much about the why or how. Given the recent spoilertastic nature of many trailers I was much relieved, but then Scott would have been in charge for this, no?

oooh, music.

I'm glad that this trailer is a bit less blatantly "Remember Alien?" I enjoyed the in-joke nature of the teaser when it came out, but I also want this film to stand up on its own rather than just as an elaborate nudge and wink.

So I re-watched this at home on the bigger screen in HD and I think that there is actually a lot, perhaps too much, given away in the trailer.
So here are my thoughts:
Prometheus crew arrive on LV-426 researching some runes/symbols that directed them there somehow.
They find some alien stuff, a ship, a "temple", and some gestational gubbins that is in some proto-form.
The stuff "infects" one of the crew, essentially turns him into a xenomorph, and thus the guardian of this stuff (probably a space jockey) "realises" that humans DO suit it after all. The rune seeding across civilizations on Earth was on purpose so we'd eventually find it and pursue the mystery. The space jockeys have done this all over the galaxy/universe - it's their plan to get other lifeforms to come and "test" the gestational technology, probably for the purposes of breeding xenomorphs for some eons long war/project/pet development program.
The space jockey (one of the guardians) decides "right! off to earth to make lots of xenomorphs".
Everyone realises what is happening and freaks out. The alien ship takes off on the way to earth. But somehow, by design or accident, one of the facehuggers (now evolved/changed to do their thing) has infected the space jockey and on the "birth" of the xenomorph (coincidentally at time of take-off) cause him to crash.
The End.
The rest is history.
If I'm right I want a motherf**king sandwich.

The video description drops some background info about Earth being divided by two warring superpowers. This reminds me of an early draft of Aliens 3 that had the U.S. fighting the Eastern Bloc to secure xenomorphs and their biological advantages for use against the other side.

If these impressions pan out (and they're vaguely mine as well) it really seems like Ridley giving the decisive finger to xenomorphs as Space Termites 25, years later. Which is interesting.
I just hope it's not as predictable as it seems. I mean, it could still be good. I just don't want to have figured it out.
