David's "emotions".

He doesn't sound defective or sarcastic to me - it just sounds like he's being precise. If anything - and judging by the over-confidence and assumption revealed in just those 3 lines alone - I'd say it's [i]Hollaway[/i] that sounds defective...

Fassbender said David develops emotions during the 2 year trip. In every interview he gives he says that. :P Click-->[url=http://www.avpgalaxy.net/2012/04/26/prometheus-creating-david-8/]Prometheus-creating-david-8[/url] "Fassbender says he’s been imbuing the character with all the unrestrained emotion the script will allow. “I’m making him a very sort of vain and sort of patronising kind of character,” he explains. “There’s a massive ego within him, I’ve realised, because it’s open knowledge to him that he’s far more advanced than his human counterparts. In a response to their non-acceptance of him he develops a bit of a haughty sort of attitude around them. He likes to be right all the time.”

It could be that this model has characteristics of Weyland programmed in that have a slight sarcastic, holier than though persona that mimics Weylands own. I heard it somewhere that this David is not overly impressed with his makers and realises his vast superiority intellectually and physically. He struggles to express it whilst fulfilling his task of looking after everyone and doing "menial" tasks. I don't think it's representative of the David 8 series from the viral add they showed.

who has the a dark motive ehh?

Love the bit he wakes up in a plastic bag. Nice viral!

his mood in the star map sure looks emotional to me. I think there's more to his emotions than meets the eye ;)

He's a Neurotic mess. LMFAO.

Thats the whole point of the 8 model to understand and use emotions to make interaction smoother. He doesn't feel emotions, but two years for an AI is alot of time to think and question things. It was also brought up that he could watch the crews dreams through his visor.

maby his artificiall intelligence is so complex that it evolved on its own.. some kind of electronic evolution maby?
