Alien Covenant discussion [spoilers] AKA what happened?

Author

So I just watched AC and my minds fuzzy but I had some questions people might have answers too, and just want to hash out some of the plot points. So discuss…

1 It seemed like David had created the face hugger eggs, but that cant be right because queen and eggs are frozen in Antarctica in AvP.

2 if he killed lady dr. And experimented on her why have a grave marker. If Dr lady hero was dead before he infected the planet, why plant the wheat.

3 did Walter join David or did David kill him? Mother recognized David’s codes, but he was also doing stuff as walter, so did he have Walters codes?#

4 was It just me or was the end a clusterf###

5 david puts face hugger embryos in the drawer at the end, where did he get the capsules that match. Why was walter taking them out at the beginning?

I will watch it again and post more poorly thought out badly punctuated obsevations.

If AVP was ever canon it surely isn’t now.

2 if he killed lady dr. And experimented on her why have a grave marker. If Dr lady hero was dead before he infected the planet, why plant the wheat.

When discussing David the first thing that must be noted is that he is going insane. The novelization plainly states this so the grave along with the picture of her is his twisted ways of remembering her.

As for the wheat…curiosity I guess. Maybe it has something to do with the spores that appear on the planet.

3 did Walter join David or did David kill him? Mother recognized David’s codes, but he was also doing stuff as walter, so did he have Walters codes?#

No idea.

4 was It just me or was the end a clusterf###

A wee bit. The film would have benefited from having one Protomorph that’s framed a little more like the classic Xeno. Besides it’s the second Protomorph sequence that essentially gives away the Walter is David plot twist.

5 david puts face hugger embryos in the drawer at the end, where did he get the capsules that match.

I remember the face hugger embryos being of a different slightly shape and not being flat.

Why was walter taking them out at the beginning?

One of them was broken.
