In Alien, the crew didn't know Ash was an android, and it was a big plot twist when it was revealed. Since they are advertising David as an android, I suppose the crew in Prometheus is aware of this from the beginning. No reason to keep a secret if it will not be a plot twist.

Starnge though, the David android is described as a "8th generation Weyland type android."

Ash was a Hyperdyne Systems 120-A/2, so it seems they are from different manufacturers?


At least we know the origin of the distre... I mean warning signal Nostromo received from LV-426 and the Company's Special Order 937. (wink, wink)

Weyland and Yutani merged to make up Weyland-Yutani in 2030, so the series numbers might be different on new models. Also, it's all pretend.

Anyone else notice the Alien's series androids name series (in film order), i.e.

Ash, Bishop, Call, David, ?

I've got money on a Eugene next..

Even though is not a propper prequel, it is still connected with what comes next. Continuity would be nice.

I gave you continuity, but nice pic

David 8 (so far) looks like he is part of the Weyland Industries, while later films are set further in the future where Weyland does not exist, hence Weyland Yutani in the first Alien movie. Aliens vs Predators and Requiem, if accepted as canon, explained how Yutani came to be, and why Hyperdine were introduced - plus why Bishop looks like he does. I'd post links, but not sure the 'Captain Alien Nerd' picture is that easy to find..

I like Alien Nerds...

Holy snappin duck poo !!!

I would stick my monster between those breasts too !!!

Ok I just saved the Alien picture two posts up. If it were bigger, I would make it my background.

It may have been mentioned before?

An interview I was reading today about Colonial Marines making of. One of the game developers said he believed that their conversations with Ridley Scott inspired him to revisit the universe, and make Prometheus.
