The Green vial and black goo

Posted by geoffkait on August 19, 2013 at 06:08:11:

This is not my explanation but I think does illustrate the complications and contradictions of the black goo rather well.

"When David sneaks the canister back onboard the Prometheus, he removes the vials out of the canister (also note, black goo pours out all over the table, but David doesnâ€™t give it a second glance). Itâ€™s the stuff in the vials that is of value. The vials are seemingly fragile and designed to break. I will contend that the substance in the green vials is the basic DNA of the xeno morph. We see this chain of effects play out when Holloway ingests the substance from the green vials (xeno DNA). It takes root in him, where he translates it to Shaw who gives birth to squid, yada yada. The substance in the green vials is dangerous, no doubt, but the complete bio weapon is the full canister, the green vials and the black goo surrounding it. It seems as if it were designed to be dropped on a planet, the green vials break open, mixing and releasing the xeno DNA. The xeno DNA then combines with the black goo surrounding it, accentuating the natural characteristics of the xeno DNA and creating a suoer xeno."
