David and Roy

Saw Prometheus last week at the IMAX London. I couldn't help thinking how much David reminds me of Roy from Blade Runner, childlike innocence juxtaposed with intelligence. If Weyland was a 'father' figure, and Vickers his 'sister' so to speak, does anyone think he sees Elizabeth as a 'mother' figure? There was a creepy tenderness as he watched her sleep while reading her dreams. He is obviously trying to find his identity i.e. imitating Peter O'Toole's character in Lawrence of Arabia. The scene where Elizabeth puts his head in the bag is also telling, as she is respectful of him. Am really looking forward to the next film to see how the relationship between David and Elizabeth develops.
