Can someone please explain to me the logic of the reproductive cycle of the "monster" in this movie? In the previous movies, it was rather straightforward -- face-hugger implants embryo, it explodes out of host and grows to adulthood. In Prometheus, we have this magic black goo infect people, causing them to mutate into monsters themselves. One mutant is then somehow able to impregnate another character with an alien embryo. This excised creature then facehugs the Engineer, resulting in a fully-formed alien bursting from his chest. And don't get me started on the tiny snake-thing sticking out of the one guy's eye. It all seems convoluted, and a rather unbelievable way for any creature to reproduce. I get the impression the screenwriters were looking for something that was more "cool!" than logical.
