I like the idea of discussing film in this detail, but I want to propose a challenge for ya'll. Next podcast, no one is allowed to say "summer tent pole." 😉

Also, it seemed one of you was claiming that the alien at the end was what showed up in the first movie, but that wasn't its first appearance – in the vase room, there was a mural with a xenomorph on the wall, so the Engineers knew something of the xenos.

Good call on black goo = midichlorian (?). In keeping with the Damon Lindeloff theme, I'd also propose the black goo = the black smoke of Lost.

Maybe a little shorter next time and include more than one film. P.S. Also the captain's theory that the area was housing WMD was just a theory – he might be wrong.

Okay, enough from me. Keep up the good work, lads.

Really liked this guys. Good talk about the film. I hope you do more and at least one about Mark Millar. Just a whole episode of you three ripping the shit out of him.

Pretty good if not a tad long. Tends to ramble a bit when you get to talking about Lost. One note about a weakness in the movie is that they tell us they are going to a solar system that is referenced in all these ancient civilizations and yet they actually go to a planet [or moon] that is a way station along the way. Why would the ancient civilations reference a planet that is along the way to the main one? That needs explaining.
