Prometheus 2: Apparently it's happening
- Thread starter RoJoHen
- Start date
Didn't Firefly go out of its way to say that there are no alien species at all? Not sure how you reconcile that with any of this silliness (and it's silly in that the only thing that links the two is a sorta-kinda-but-not-really timeframe).
And no sound in space
Of course it's silly. It's just having a bit of fun; no one's seriously proposing that a crossover take place. It's just finding some minor connections and similarities between the two.
Just wondering what the pictures are representing / implying? Thanks!Of course it's silly. It's just having a bit of fun; no one's seriously proposing that a crossover take place. It's just finding some minor connections and similarities between the two.
Sorry, I just quickly tossed that together without labeling it.
- Top picture: Weyland-Yutani logo on the Heads Up Display of an anti-aircraft gun used by the Independents (and fired by Mal) at the Battle of Serenity Valley from the Firefly pilot.
Design similarities:
- Second row side by side pictures: Weyland-Yutani terraforming atmosphere processor from Aliens vs. terraforming machines from Firefly pilot.
- Third row side by side pictures: Prometheus vs. Firefly Class similarities - rotating engine pods, wedge shaped forward cockpit, underslung cargo bay/airlock.
- Fourth row side by side pictures: Weyland-Yutani mobile refinery towed by Nostromo vs. Alliance Dortmunder Class starship with similar underslung domes and vertical towers.
- Final four pictures: (Top left) "Earth that was" from Firefly showing the polluted, destroyed Earth that needed to be evacuated at some point in the past..
Other three pics: Earth from the Joss Whedon written Alien: Resurrection, which was described as a "shithole" that not even the dirty smuggler crew of the Betty wanted to visit. Its surface (including Paris) is barren and destroyed, and no one seems particularly bothered by the fact that the Auriga spacecraft crashes into Africa and the explosion seemingly takes out a third of the continent, implying that there probably wasn't anyone left there.
Joss Whedon wrote the script for Alien: Resurrection, and the crew of the smuggling craft Betty in that film served as sort of a prototype for what he wanted to do on Firefly. Not that the characters match up one-to-one, just that the general idea formed in his mind at the time.

That is what I think the first movie should have been about but instead we got what we got a shitty movie where all these really smart people do dumb shit and get killed. It was bland and nonsensical as others have said and also Vickers was she a robot?
Vickers was definitely human. It was compare and contrast; the human striving robot son, and the cold, robotic human daughter.
True but the way she acted you could have been forgiven for thinking she was also an android like David. I like Prometheus for its visuals, that's where my liking for the movie begins and ends. Lots of interesting visuals and a story that could have been nice and grand and then it just runs downhill fast.
I've always found Ron Pearlman's character basically is Jayne.
I was really hoping someone would do the SNARK.
Can't remember if Firefly did that but I do know the producers of NuBSG specifically went out of the way not to show aliens.
Correct on both. Firefly did establish that there were no non human aliens in their universe. Same for New BSG because certain actors demanded that.
Rather ironic, since Olmos almost PLAYED an alien once (he was up for the role of Kruge in ST III).
IKR.........
He had a hissy fit about it for BSG.
But technically since the Cylons are artificial aren't they aliens?
Hrm. So Firefly has no aliens, BSG has no aliens...
Engineers are just giant humans and Aliens are bioengineered.
That would leave Predators as the only alien in the universe? haha.
