One of my friends speculated, what if ALL the crew-members ( except for Weyland ) had been androids - but except for David, they just did not know it. Or even, what if all the crew members were different models of David - they would have done a darn sight better job than some of the human crew-members. And THAT would have been enough of a motivation for the Space Jockey to go nuts at the end - that humans have reached a point where they created and sent out their own creations to contact the 'gods'. In essence, 'We are the gods now' as Weyland stated in the TED Lecture. It would be more plausible to send out loyal, and dedicated Davids to fulfill Weyland's wishes...

Would be an interesting, unexpected "variation" if it would be that way, but it isn't. I also think i would send only some "davids" to such an expedition into the unknown - why bring human beings into dangerous situations.. But as this is a horror-sci-fi-movie, there MUST be some people who get in some trouble... flesh is flesh.

That would have been the sensible thing to do - send out robots to explore space. That's what we do right now. But it just isn't a good horror movie without humans doing stupid things and getting themselves killed.

its a fun notion i think....but its not the case in this movie eh?....androids would not get infeted. david doesn't even have to breath remember he puts the suit on to make it more comfortable and acceptable to the others. hollow and of course fyfield got (though different types) infected...and indeed there was blood presumably human everywhere when fyfield went on the rampage....no milky white substance as found in other droids...including david....good ideas though...like it

@ Nickell, Yeah, there'd be no film if there weren't any humans to make foolish decisions!

Some artistic license is needed but yes technically it's another plot-hole... Melkor [url=http://wp.me/p2tPJ3-1]My review here!!![/url]
