When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?
Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.
You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under his feet.
I also read that this psalm is known as the "astronomers psalm", hrm very interesting, even more if you consider shaw's stated religous views, and the connection between her and david not only as team leaders, but also what we see from the supposed dream reading that goes on with her hypersleep chamber by david.
Whatever truths we find out in this movie, and whatever we are left to speculate on, I for one am very optomistic the production will go to great lengths to capture the sense of wonder and horror with which we gazed on the originals. I for one m predicting wanting to walk right back into the cinema after an initial viewing and am planning to do such :)
