A flashback for Shaw?

It could be like in Contact with Jody Foster......her dad died and she was remembering him when she was a child. Later on she sees him again.....well an aliens rendition of his image anyway.

it's probably back-story, there was a bunch of stuff on the early Weyland website about her parents professions and where she grew up. If the movie is in chronological order, it probably starts with the beginning of ancient earth, and then maybe Shaw's childhood? and then when the ship is leaving. just a guess on a side note: theEgg, your avatar was for 2 weeks, but now it's a lot less than 2 weeks and you still have it? i think you like the idea of that huge woman with Quade hiding inside and it had nothing to do with what she said! BUSTED!

her parents die when she is young, it marks her. Thet are missionaries in Africa or something (ecran phantastique)
