In the eleven years since the release of Prometheus a lot has been said about the film. Controversial, divisive, masterpiece, or fumble, there's no disputing that Ridley Scott's storied return to science fiction is one for the film history books. In this episode the PO team is joined by Derek from Alien Theory to 'defend Prometheus' as it were. Is Prometheus a film that needs defending? Where does it sit between the original trilogy of films and Alien Covenant? We attempt to explore all of those questions and more. This was a delightful discussion. Enjoy!

Derek, when you said understanding that’s exactly what I was thinking. I love Prometheus. No movie has come close occupying so much of my time as Prometheus has. Trouble is there’s no one to talk with about Prometheus because I’ve got a different way of looking at - a very evidence-based way - and a lot of Prom fans just love the view Ridley gave them and don’t want to listen, much less discuss. Anyhow that was a good discussion - everyone seems to have amore mature approach 11 years on. Thanks.

That was a good point - the dinosaurs. Wish I had have thought of it.

Yes I agree on your follow up comments that it wouldn’t be surprising for humans to be created by aliens or that we come from them. What is kinda dumb is that Ridley fed us a load pseudoscience and just plain stupid stuff and we swallowed it all. And yet the science that is most likely true - the DNA - nobody believes it. I’ll give you a tip - one of the most asked question about the film (and the easiest to answer) is ”why don’t scientists act like scientists?” The answer is they’re not scientists. Of course, the next question, then who are they? is not so easy to answer. Who was the chap talking about this? Derek? I want to talk to him. I’ve got a story to tell him. (Of course i know this comment will only get buried somewhere but you can’t say I’ve tried.

The guy who appears at the end of ”The Chase” is neither a guy nor tall. And it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that the Star Trek humans and their alien ”friends” share genetic origins - look at them. All this very vague allusion does is reaffirm what Ridley has already told us and what we have swallowed without questioning. DNA anyone?
