Theories, theories everywhere!

So it's been awhile since I've posted, and with the release of the second trailer, I think I have a few theories on what may be going on.

First the crew:

Branson - Dies in cryo? Though I feel he plays more of a part then we are led to believe

Ejogo - Dies fighting off Rigby Neomorph

Seimetz - Dies blowing up dropship fending off Neomorph that exploded out of...

Rigby - Dies "becoming" the Neomorph (more on that down below)

Jussie Smollet's character - Dies in shower scene with Callie Hernandez who....

Hernandez - Pretty sure she's the screaming female in the trailer, possibly gets infected/facehugged?

Birchir - Unknown at this point. Though his husband....

Nathanial Dean's character - Dies defending Daniels after the Rigby? (or Uli Latukefu) Neomorph attacks then. The scene where Daniels is on the ground outside fending off the white Neomorph quickly flashes to a man diving at it. The next scene shows Birchir reaching for a bloody hand with a gold wedding band, the same one Dean is wearing from the Last Supper prologue.

Crudup - Facehugged, gives birth to Protomorph seen crawling on ship and headbanging into the windshield

Tennessee, Daniels, and the remaining crew are out for discussion. Onto the Rigby-morph....

I think the spores act differently then the egg/facehugger/burster. The spore isn't an embryo, like the hugger would lay inside a host. I think the spore alters the subject's DNA, akin to the black goo and how it was ingested by Holloway (turning him black and possibly dissolving him?) and Fifield (skin contact along with Hammerpede acid, mutating him into some sort of human/xeno hybrid?). The spore alters the subject and ultimately 'transforms" the subject into the Beluga-morph. Instead of a brand new organism bursting, the subject sheds it's former "carapace" (skin) and becomes the creature. 

On to Shaw.

She's not dead. She IS infected with the black goo via sex with Holloway. The squid baby is definitely not a one off. She went from being barren to being able to create life. I feel that David knows this, and ultimately exploits this for his own experiments. The Shaw we will see will be barely recognizable, and will be a central point in the story.

Now to the boys, David and Walter. I fully believe David is repaired by Shaw with his help. The Engineers are all dead when they arrive, so she has to put him together. Walter is this movie's Bishop. Completely robotic, but friendly to all the humans and wary of David. My suspicion is that David somehow infects Walter or infects himself creating the original biomechanical Xeno.

As for the Deacon, or should I call it the Ultramorph, it's there already on the planet, or, David finds another big baldy in stasis, extracts another Trilobite from Shaw, and creates another Deacon, that grows into the Ultramorph, which could possibly be the big bad at the climax.

Again, all theories. Let me know what ya'll think.

By the way, when do we get paid?
