One of my favorite scenes in the original was the exploration of the alien ship (a la "Planet of the Vampires"). The way that "Prometheus" now puts that scene into context really ruins the mystery and imagination of the original. :( Please oh please let's not make a "Blade Runner" sequel !! Well considering the much lower budget & how important setting a tone & atmosphere was on Alien, you may be right. I think the big problem here with Prometheus was the so called big ideas(and execution) negate much of the mystery & awe of the original (First two) movies. Also I am so bored of the Faith vs Science concept in modern Science Fiction film A good example "The Black Hole"
