2000 years - no earth visiting engineers?

Hi all, Great site by the way. I really liked Prometheus, amazing atmosphere and vibe but felt it was a little muddled in places. One thing I didn't get was this: If the doomed group of engineers that the Prometheus crew stumbled on got pissed with earth over 2000 years ago, had a plan to wipe us out - why didn't anymore of them go to earth shortly after their LV-223 accident? There seemed to be 3 more of those bio weapon domes on LV-223, surely not all the engineers were killed? What about the engineer home planet couldn't word have got sent that there was an accident of LV-223 so send some other engineers to wipe out earth? I've got more questions but this'll do for starters! :-) Any thoughts folks? Loving the chat people, but keep it positive, sure the film's got faults but it's still a very good movie, haters go somewhere else!

They probably were on the verge of becoming extinct and wanted to erase all traces of their existence but something wiped them out instead.

i think you assume to much You assume they got pissed with earth. You assume they wanted to wipe us out. If they were not all dead, or in coma, i'm sure they would have done something, especially after the prometheus made love to the derelict. yes, the homeplanet. one could wonder, did some leave the moon, and got home, bringing the plague along?

"i think you assume to much" The movie resolves absolutely nothing. So its no wonder it invites more fevered speculation than any story should ...... except maybe Lost, which had more holes in it than a tea bag! As Hitler said, '6 series of cock teasing'.

"i think you assume to much" I'm not so sure. I think it's certainly more clear than not, judging from the engineer's grumpy waking up reaction to humans, that they were annoyed with earth and planned to go there and kick some ass, old Noomi thought so. I think thats what the confused script writers wanted us to understand too. I get that the engineers on LV-223 died or left it, but it's just weird that they obviously never went to earth in the 2000 years after the LV-223 cock up as we'd have heard about it or been wiped out maybe! There is also the one short scene where we see the grumpy engineer eagerly plot a course to earth straight away, so he wanted to get his freak on with something on our little planet! :-)

I guess there it would be important to know what David said or asked.

It's funny, because I just read it elsewhere, but after the 2nd viewing I though...hmmm 2 thousand years ago - son of god/engineer/jesus was killed.... It appears that was the reason according to Ridley, although he only alluded to this as it was too 'on the nose'as he puts it!
