This is not meant to be a repeat of the thread ‘The relationship between Weyland, Vickers and David’ posted by lrNinjaBob, though could relate to it. In the event of Peter Weylands death, is David the now rightful heir to the business. Could this also be how Yutani joins forces as a corporate identity. As a point of view from a business power struggle would Peter Weyland have made plans based around his relationships with Vickers and David and put something in the pipeline to continue his business visions. There has been quite a lot of discussion about whether Vickers is an android, I believe she was real and was in line to inherit the estate. If Peter Weyland had found the secret of eternal life she would lose out on any immediate gains, so maybe this is why she was not exactly all for the Prometheus mission. That’s just my opinion. Any thoughts on who is in charge now ?

I believe Weyland had other children. Can someone please research this?

Entirely depends on the law regarding androids as free agents versus property. Can they 'buy' their freedom the same way black people could in the Southern US back before the civil war? I'm not convinced there will be a sequel, because there's a way of looking at this film, that actually sums up what needed to be shown... But if it does, and Ridcley keeps teasing us with mythological red herrings, then it would be David, but I doubt he would survive two more films to see the inside of a board-room.

@[b]Antony (aka. abordoli)[/b] It's suspected that Meredith Vickers was Mr. Weyland's daughter, though from the looks of it the two didn't have much of a positive relationship. If we take all his dialogue in the movie into account, it sounds like he wanted a son, not a daughter. Now as for your belief that he had other children, that instantly made me think that maybe he had a bunch of concubines that came to him thinking he was some messiah-figure (due particularly to his creations). Well, maybe not concubines or lowly whores, but if he did have multiple children, I don't know the precise details to how his children came to be; it reminds me of how nations came to be in the Old Testament, how they just state basically "Shem became the ancestor of the Semitic people, Ham of the Africans, and Japheth of the Europeans"......but not to mention that some earlier figures in the OT had multiple generations, and King David supposedly has an ancestor who lives today.....people, even the great patriarchs, had a lot of sex in the Old Testament? I don't know. lol
