Missing the Point/Reasons Engineers Target Earth

I watched Lost deom the beginning to the end. Let me tell you something. That lasy seasom was a joke. It was a total slap in the face to the fairhful viewers who spent years glued to the tv set. In the end we got a nothing for it. No major questioms were answered. I really do think that the writers laughed in our faces when they gave us such a crap as an end.

May be. But again the ship leaves just as he begins drinking, as if they leave because his mission is over.

NO NO NO !!! It amazes me how far from the facts, as few as there ar in Prometheus, are willing to explore their own disjointed imaginings. There is no evidence in the film that establishes the plot point that the Engineers were targeting Earth, NONE !!! That is Shaw's assumption because she is predisposed to believe it. But, remember, "I was wrong, we were so wrong!!!". I have a rip of the movie, and there is a key scene that shows the ancient images of the Engineers entering the bridge. And, because these ancient images carry sound, the flute notes from the past turn on the console in real time. David not only witnesses this but he enters the holo image of the Universe(?) and selects the Earth holo to observe. The system shuts down and Earth is teed up on the console. David, on purpose or by accident, selects Earth as the Engineer's next target. If it was by accident, why doesn't David try to undo the selection. That selection triggers the Engineers sleep chamber to come to life. Notice when David puts his ear to the chamber the heartbeat he hears is a 3 beat heartbeat. (bb b, bb b, bb b) It is there on the screen. The Engineers did not select Earth as their nex target, David did !!!

".. the flute notes from the past turn on the console in real time.." This in an interesting observation. The hol;ograms that David is seeing carry sound. I had not noticed this. But it would explain why the actual console lights up, worlds are generated and David can immerse himself in a self absorbant movent among various Enginner's worlds. I couldn;t undaerstand what I was watching . How could a hologram and real time be mixed. A recorded sound track. I'll read the rest of your post now..but needed to comment on this critical orrery scene.

David actually doesn't select Earth. If you look closely, Earth is bracketed and there is some sort of flight path/indicators around Earth. Earth was in fact already "targeted" by the Engineers... but for what?

AS David is twirling around the lighted Orrery the Earth Globe just happens to fall into his hands, Africa side Up? Then Earth happens to be front and center almost like it was teed up like a golf ball when the Floating worlds collapse. I got the impression that if any alien being made it this far into the Juggernaut the hologram display area would have selected the right planet for that alien and that selected planet would be teed up. In a sense the Orrery would be a gateway to the destruction of any alien planet that their representative made the journey to LV-223 and the Juggeranut and the Orrery room. Who would have thought that LV-223 was the 'Welcome Center for all of the Engineer's worlds?
