I'm Not Sure About Shaw

Something else I just noticed, in trailer number 2 (the one with the more industrial sounding music), has a short clip, right after you see the hologram of the SJ running, in which you see the inside of the pod from what looks like Shaw's perspective and you can see the empty pincer moving down towards her abdomen. I'm guessing this would be before the operation because everything is clean. Just thought it was interesting.

Prom_queen, You're not Debbie-Downer at all! I think it's great to have a female perspective in here. Yeah, I agree with you. I don't think they're going to do anything we won't all like.

Has everyone forgotten LAMBERT from 79 ?? That was pretty freaking creepy was it not? Without seeing anything?

@ Prom_Queen Its not a downer. You're just expressing you're opinion. Its not a problem! I was curious to get your opinion on the topic. @Whiskuz Yes, that image is likely before the operation. Something about that scene is just weird (yeah it doesn't get much weirder than a squid thing being extracted from her belly), but I'm talking about the whole sequence... Shouldn't Shaw be incapacitated or at least tied down for such an intense procedure? Could it be that there's no one around so she has to tell/program the on-board computer to perform the operation on her without the aid of a human operator (hence no one to tie her down or provide the anesthesia)?

@Prom ... It's alright I think we're (I'm) all weirded out at the moment ... I cannot think of anything else ... thank God ... @Draekus ... That's what I sorta was getting at ... not strapped down ... not drugged out ... nothing ... Love to see a new trailer though ...

Thanks, guys! I promise I'm not a ball-buster. Yes, CanadaPhil, I'll confess, I did forget about Lambert. That was freaky.

Yes, surely the absence of any restraint has to be absolutely significant in interpreting this clip? It looks to me like she's practically hysterical at the sight of the thing, thrashing, likely in pain, probably in horrified recoil, as best she can (given the small amount of space and the fact, I think, that the umbilical is still attached), which would reasonable under the circumstances: which are, I'm going to speculate, that this woman has just, deliberately, knowingly and in presumably in desperation it's hard to imagine; operated - on herself.

Well all we know for sure is that Shaw has some Organism removed from her, but how it got there is another matter. We have that scene where that Tenticle seems to be chassing her, if this scene is after the operating table scene then it could be the Squid thing that maybe escapes. If this is before that scene then it could be this Organism is what gets her Pregnant. Now although one of Gigers works shows sexual scenes of Eel like creatures, thats not to say thats how it would happen. If its the case i bet like in Alien it would be a case of what you dont see. So you will know that the Organism gets to her but will not see what happens. And who is to say that the Organism implants a Embrio into her Throat? Another posibility is Holloway he has some kind of leach type organism in his eye. Maybe when they have a scene where they are kissing, they make love (off screen) and some how either Holloways Genes are infected or that actual Organism gets into her Womb and Merges with one of her Eggs and thus she becomes Pregnant that what with a Hybrid Organism. As far as what the creature could look like, Gigers Artwork formed the basis for the Face Hugger, Chest Burster, Derelict and its architecture and the actual Xeno. In the Alien Cycle Artwork you see what looks simular to the Space Jockeys in this movie and not the Alien one. So again maybe this Movie will take a lot or even direct inspiration from some of Gigers works.

Ok ya all convinced me it's Shaw on the table ... not Vickers, no? ... KIDDING ... :) ... Ok makes sense not having the restraints on and she is doing some self-operating procedure ... that makes perfect sense ... maybe with lasers, as knives, cutting the body don't hurt as much, etc ... a la Logan's Run ...

@Dave ... I don't think that tentacle is chasing her ... I think she's still on the Table with the tentacles in front of her, as in thats AFTER it's been removed ... maybe? ... If you're on about the corridor chase I think she's probably legging it from the 'Medics' leading upto the operation ... because she hasn't been operated on yet ...

My money is on Shaw being artificially inseminated by Weyland's henchmen, and I believe it happens during this scene: [URL=http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e85/vibrator1/Shaw3.jpg][IMG]http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e85/vibrator1/th_Shaw3.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

This scene is proof that Shaw thinks the company is complicit in evil activities and she is trying to escape them by any means necessary.

@whiskuz But isn't the guy screaming "Cut it OFF"? I think some guy gets infected and it becomes so much that he screams to have a limb amputated, or worse.

Squidy looks a heck of a lot like a facehugger. Ty for the great pic of shaw's belly stapled up, I was never able to see that detail. I have seen that image of Shaw struggling to walk in the Trailer, and she falls to her knees before 3 white clad people that are sitting around a table. @allinamberclad; Not an unlikely scenario, if I knew something horrifying was inside of me I would try and cut it out myself or at least find a way to have it removed as fast as possible.

If this is going to be a rape scene then I am sure there are lot of women who are going to feel uncomfy about this . We will have to wait for the director's cut to release if this is going to be a PG 13 rating. Maybe Shaw is getting impregnated by the squid (an early form of a face hugger) and she's going nuts looking at it. The scene is a bit disturbing so to say.
