@Mala'kak, man, I hope your theories about Vickers are right. Much as I love Noomi, she just does not seem like a survivor. Vickers is the more interesting character.
Maybe it will be like the switcheroo in Alien, for which the opening scenes had us convinced that Dallas (as the captain, and male captain at that) was going to survive, possibly with one or the other female characters as his love interest, only to turn around and kill him off in favor of bad-ass Ripley. That unexpected turn of events is one of the key reasons that Alien is a great movie, rather than just a bloody good one.
