Frantz, in the end, if she's run over by the juggenaut she will end as a flat suit anyway.
Ridley Scott will eventually tell us how the Queen was born.
Right now we have the Deacon; coming soon the Mercury, the May and the Taylor.

Loving the avatar by the way! I'm getting a very Mr Burns vibe from Mr Weyland if he DOES turn out to be the old guy in the film!

But.... charlize is too hot to die man :( please :D
Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.

what if she won't die. what if rolling ship will stop rolling 1 inch before her? or may be she will be sucked in one of the ships holes? )))) RS knows what he's doing. we already love Vickers and we don't want her to die. it's what warm us up. and if she dies it will be more unexaptable for us than death of Burk for example =)

I'm sure she'll go out guns blazing, if she can manhandle David, as we've seen in the trailers, I don't think she'll give up without a fight. Hell, we don't even know that she doesn't make it, at this stage we know very little other than some people WILL die.

@ DippyBird
What if the reason she is able to manhandle David is because he is not resistent to violence and is passive in nature due to his programming? Kinda like Robbie the Robot in Forbidden Planet who would not harm or kill. When Vickers swings him around in the corridor, he doesn't show resistence and looks to be in submission.

Well that makes sense, given the precedence set by Bishop in Aliens. Perhaps the reason Ash was programmed to ensure the safety of the creature was precisely because David had failed to do so? That's an interesting point you've raised Shilliam. LOVING the name by the way!

She doesn't strike me as cold and aloof. She strikes me as someone who is one good "BOOO!" away from sheer panic. She doesn't want to be on this trip and she is terrified of what they will find.
Safe? Of course he isn't safe, but he's good!
May 13, 2012
I'll agree that she probably doesn't want to be there - I sure as hell wouldn't want to be there in their position!
May 13, 2012
It would be fascinating to me until I found out they hated us/wanted to end our existence in favor of theirs.
Safe? Of course he isn't safe, but he's good!
May 13, 2012
me too, and that would most certainly mean/involve a massive Terra-Forming of earth effort...
May 13, 2012
My contention is that Vickers NEVER wanted to be there. She was terrified to even GO on this mission.
Safe? Of course he isn't safe, but he's good!
May 13, 2012
Possibly, that might be why she does the whole push-ups in the middle of the night thing - part of a coping mechanism perhaps?
She does look a bit sleepless in some of the scenes, although that may just be me...

@Myrddin365
That seems quite likely.
I think that at a minimum David and Shaw will make it out "alive".
David will have his head wrenched off by the sole surviving Engineer, but will be backed up Cylon style and will reappear in the next film somehow.
Shaw's DNA will have been modified somehow by her pregnancy with Cuddles to make her "special" and relevant to the next film. She's the Ripley character, after all.
My one question is about Vickers. I'm not sure yet if:
a) she's actually a synthetic
b) she's a clone (of Weyland's daughter or some such)
c) she's a plane ol’ human and buys it never to return
In either of scenarios A and B above, she's still back in the next film, even if the methodology is a little "cheaty."
Of course, I'm not a betting man...

If Vickers is synthetic, I wonder why she hates David so much. If he's the newer model, then maybe she feels threatened by him, but that seems pretty complex for this level of synthetic.
Some on this site speculate that she is an Engineer plant. If THAT'S the case, then Engineers might find inorganic intelligence intensely repugnant, hence the reaction to David.
Safe? Of course he isn't safe, but he's good!
