I was always more fond of 4-LOM than IG-88. His/its head is weird and buggy but then I also find it easier to believe something with basically C-3PO's build could be effective in combat compared to a string of pipes.
Also where the hell does "Internecivus Raptus" come from? I searched it on Google but wasn't willing to dig deep enough to find the actual point of origin. The most I found was an article discussing why xenomorph isn't the name of the aliens themselves but rather a smarty pants way of saying alien and other attempts to give them a name so far don't work either.

Technically every alien species that isn't strictly humanoid could be called xenomorph since it's just the grouping of the Greek words for foreign/strange and shape. Hell all insects and most every fish is applicable to the term. It is all we have to call the Aliens though without just calling them aliens, maybe the next Prometheus film could drop us a more suitable name.

Except nobody ever called them Space Jockeys in film so Engineers is our Earth designated name to those guys (although the one on LV-426 could still be called the space jockey). I prefer the sound and ring of Space Jockey over Engineer but the implication of being called Engineers is neat. For all we know in the next film their species name will be revealed as blub-bobs or some shit.

I dread the next Prometheus flick for the damage it could do, like the prequels to Star Wars. Can't leave well enough alone.

I'm looking forward to Prometheus 2, though I don't deny there were parts of Prometheus that felt 'on the fly' at best.
