David's agenda

I think that all along, David had an agenda which was only hinted at. His foreknowledge (knowing just exactly how to remove the engineer's helmet, knowing how to work the control panels, open doors) means something. We see him studying the Engineer's language during the spaceflight, and when it comes to him reading some heiroglyphics, they just say, ' I hope you can read that!' and he says LOLscientists or something and if he can read it, he doesn't say. Now, there can't be any evidence on Earth of the Engineer's language, probably not the written but certainly not the spoken. But there David is, taking lessons in that language to the point where he obviously says something meaningful to the engineer he wakes up. So Weyland must share in that foreknowledge too. I think what David is doing during that two year spaceflight is [i]significant.[/i] Perhaps also it's the case that once again, the Company knows something its employees don't. And then what's with David's fascination with Dr Shaw's religious faith? He studies it in her dreams, he goes to lengths to break it down; his dialogue when he informs her of her 'pregnancy' is [i]Diabolical[/i], I think! Why did he keep her cross so that when she asks him for it at the end, he's got it right there? Oh yes, and at the start of the movie, Weyland pointedly says, David doesn't have a soul. Maybe it's just pretentious nonsense combined with shoddy writing, but I'd prefer it wasn't...
