excerpt:
"OK! Clearly the only reasonable explanation of the mysterious pattern
discovered by Shaw and Holloway is that giant geezers from space planted
the seeds of humanity on Earth eons ago, and then came back bazillions of
years later just to convince preliterate civilizations to leave behind
invitations for us to come visit when we were all grown up. Then they left
again, barely an eyelash ago in planetary time, maybe just to pick up some
smokes or collect the many-tentacled kids from day care. Look, I realize
that Lindelof and Spaihts got paid a lot of money to develop the
“mythology” of this universe, and they’re probably convinced they’ve gotten
all its clues and feints and subterfuges worked out. But there’s about 17
kinds of nonsense just in the setup for “Prometheus,” before we even get to
the main action. (Who brings archaeologists, of all useless professions, on a
space mission?) You’re way better off just letting the mood and mystery and
menace of the movie surround you, and not trying to puzzle it out."
