It'll be interesting to find out how much of this will be woven into the main story, or if it's strictly a stand-alone featurette for the fans. :unsure:

 

With regard to what happened to Shaw, the prologue doesn't really give much away, although it does seem to be bridging the gap more between Alien and Prometheus. I would assume the most obvious implication is that if David is releasing a stack of xenomorph eggs on the Engineers' home planet, there’s no real reason for him to spare her.

I don't think it's the eggs- those are the black goo containers 

 

do you think david killed shaw?

I wonder how accurate the promotional X-rays from the previous page are...it depicts the entire crew being infected, and the location/creatures vary.

 

So far there seems to be 2 creatures (one that bursts out of the body in full, caused by inhaling spores) and then the conventional xenomorph (from the face-hugger)

 

There is also a mothership in orbit, so I presume that the story continues there.

 

From what I recall, the Prometheus trailer was literally a "greatest hits" collection of the actual film and spoilered a great deal.  The new movie is either rather sparse/dark like Alien or they are intentionally keeping the other set pieces under wraps.

"Further proving his mastery of creating tension and thrills, Scott has effectively created a satisfying hybrid of "Alien," "Prometheus" and even James Cameron's "Aliens.""

Awesome footage!

 

the reviews largely conclude that this movie is better than Prometheus- which I also liked.

 

It also centers on David much more, and go into explaining why he behaved as he did in the first movie.
