Re: Alien prequel (redux)

There was a post with this title (sans "redux") published on the same date that it says this was posted. This is not that post; this is written almost exactly a year later. That post has, rather Stalinistically and completely out of shame, been reverted to draft (I didn't want to totally delete it). In that post, I said the idea of an Alien prequel focusing on the Space Jockey(s) was absolutely the wrong thing to do to the saga. Of course, it eventually ended up in cinemas under the name Prometheus and was staggeringly brilliant. In it, I laid out a plan for a superior new Alien film. I still like my idea, even though it's no Prometheus. Let's see how wrong I was.
