Is Vickers a Synthetic?

"The way she shows emotion and stress when running and getting to the escape pod (before the ship crashes in the space jockeys craft) would point toward this. An android would surely just unemotionally follow any programming instruction in its system to calmly and quickly get the hell out of there." lol....have you watched 'Alien'? I'm betting you have not....one word...Ash

Elizabeth as a Synth, now that would rock, but she shown bloody and so on. Of course, it would be a homage to Blade Runner, but if she was a replicant...

I don't like to link this with Blade Runner, but the idea of her being an android who knows nothing about it would be cool. Or maybe the entire crew is a bunch of droids. That's impossible though, but still would rock.

Dont for get by Cyborg that does not mean someone has to be a certain mix of Man and Machine. You dont have to have a Robotic Arm to be Cyborg? Darth Vader is Cyborg, So is Will Smith in I Robot... by the above definition. Someone with a Computer chip that is inplanted into the Brain and Nervous System would also be Cyborg. Controlled by someone else. Imagine in future i think Mankind could create from Gene/DNA a genome soldier who would be controlled via a Micro Chip the Ultimate Soldier. We dont know, maybe Vickers is simular. By that same Token the Andriod David is a Machine a Computer and it could be programed with some code/law that prevent it from being able to realise that Vickers is nothing but Human. Again these are just guess work and i dont even think they could be the case, its just a wild theory. Where as David = Andriod, Space Jockeys = Large Humaniods in Bio Mechanical Suits

good call about Ash, the Coming...

I think these 'artificial persons' (Bishop would be offended at synth) are pretty much human complexity, emotionally and intelligence-wise and not robots in the traditional sense...literally humans with white blood if there are two 'artificial persons' in Prometheus, we can guess the other by elimination. It sure as hell aint Janek, he is too country...We know it ain't the archeology couple Shaw and Holloway...David we already know is a synth...that leaves Vickers or tattoo face guy (whats his name again?)
