Is "Prometheus" The Beginning of Ridley Scott's Final Comment on Android Spiritu

***SPOILERS****SPOILERS*****SPOILERS*****SPOILERS I think Scott is actually steering us back to his lifelong fascination — his love affair — with the question of whether or not androids have souls. Look at Scott's ground-breaking sci-fi and space fantasy films, in which we're always faced with the inherent humanity of our machines. Manmade fabrications, bio-engineered slaves that WANT to be free, and machines that struggle with one-track dedication to the mission or loyalty to saving their human masters. Manufactured SLAVES that not only think, but that feel. I mean, Roy's dying soliloquy in Blade Runner, for example, is like a eulogy for all Ridley Scott androids: [i]I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain...... Time to die. [/i] Early in Prometheus, we are shown David the Android's fascination with human thinking, human memories and dreams, the human ability to switch our feelings on and off at will. David even has a favorite Peter O'Toole film. Yet, in the crew's orientation hologram, the elderly Peter Weyland makes a POINT of humiliating David, stating that he loves David like a son, but that [i]David HAS NO SOUL[/i]. Yeah, I think Prometheus is setting us up for Ridley Scott's final comment on where Androids stand in the hierarchy of SPIRIT in the Universe. So, in the Prometheus franchise, I think he's taking us on a ride to answer NOT the ultimate spiritual questions of Mankind, but the ultimate spiritual questions of Androids. I mean, I will put money on the notion that Ridley Scott is going to reveal — perhaps in the first sequel — that God is a Machine, that WE organic life forms are products of a cosmic experiment gone wrong. That, perhaps, Androids are closer to God than are we humans.
