It strikes me that if the Engineer were to speak in the film that it might dramatically change our (humans’) relationship to him. David is clearly reading at several points in the film. Presumably he’s reading the orthography of a spoken language. Do [u]you personally[/u] want the Engineer to speak or not speak and why?

YES! IF, and only if, they sound as badass as they are. It would have to be done right. I imagine their speech should sound as if they're talking while inhaling, not exhaling, as we would. Y'know what i mean? ... Hard to explain.

Personally, i think David will be the key. He will be the Angel, the messenger, the interpreter, .....the Prophet, and will turn out to be more "human" than most of the crew. I think the SJ will be able to talk to david "telepathically" on a level the Humans can't......yet. Obviously The SJ 's method of communication is visual. Architectually, Using art (Murals), Holograms, Telepathic "visions", even their own creations, us. When the SJ directly communicates to the humans, its too much, their fears,prejudices,beliefs, and doubts cloud the message and get in the way of it. Most human minds cant take that much info all at once. They break down, go insane trying to make sense of it, or understand it on some subconscious level but cant realize the truth. But David, like Neo, can decode the whole matrix of information all at "Once" and "on the fly". This means he would be able to do what is best for everyone all at Once. Something we all in this world should be striving to do.

Please, no "talky" Engineers. Actions speak louder than words.

If they sound like the transmission in the deleted 'Alien' scene, then okay - that's dark, menacing and very "alien". Otherwise, I think it would be better for them to not communicate at all. They would just kill without reason or warning... kind of like the xeno does.
