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."
