I'm satisfied believing that the xenos just existed in space. Because at its rawest, simplest core, the fear behind the idea of alien life is that it's just a thing that's out there in the darkness of space. I don't need a backstory where some other things created it and then an AI that we created perfected it. It's simply the most dark, evil, unstoppable thing from the most dark mysterious place we've discovered and barely understand; but were bold enough to explore. And the Queen's its momma and it's even more badass and the fact that Ripley beat that bitch is still the coolest thing of all time lol. The only way I could see this David storyline working for me is if he somehow loses his creations and then takes over Weyland-Yutani so the events in the later films are his attempts to retrieve his babies; and they also tie up a whole bunch of other loose ends along the way leading up to the events of Alien. But yeah, it's still going to take a whole lot for me to accept as canon. Man, you put into words so succinctly exactly what I love about the xenomorphs, too. Legit.

Covenant Blu-ray comes out today. I'm gonna grab it today (hopefully Best Buy still has their cool Steelbook when I get there) and watch it tonight, or later this week. I actually came to like Prometheus more on repeat viewings, so maybe the thing will be true of Covenant. And at the very least, the movie looked absolutely gorgeous and will look stunning on Blu-ray.
