[i]"Sometimes, you have to destroy in order to create"[/i]
Incorrect quote. It was actually more like "Sometimes, in order to create one must first destroy". Said by a robot. You know, like when your house gets demolished to make a by-pass. Just why is that laughably bad, Einstein? Perhaps you can use your argument when someone arrives outside your house with a yellow bulldozer on a Thursday.
[i]"It's Christmas, and I want to open my present"[/i]
You missed the plural there, but I doubt that is central to your argument. Which seems to ignore the fact that Holloway was fecking [i]itching[/i] to get over there, with actually quite a lot of daylight left to play with.
[i]"Doesn't every child wish to see their parents dead?"
Uh...no, actually....they don't.[/i]
Well spotted, Einstein. If you didn't get the hint that robots think differently to humans, perhaps you need the message to be nailed on your forehead so you can see it in the mirror each morning.
[i]"Every king has his reign, then he dies. It's inevitable."[/i]
Do pay attention. Weyland was [i]challenging[/i] the inevitable and that concept in turn was being challenged by the one person who would gain by his demise.
[i]"We call them Engineers"
"What did they engineer?"
"Us"[/i]
Wrong.
SHAW: We call them Engineers
[pause]
FIFIELD: Would you mind telling us what they engineered?
[slight pause]
SHAW: They engineered us
FIFIELD: Bullshit
It seems to be wasted on you that most humans do not regard themselves as animals, let alone think that they could have been designed or - worse - 'engineered'. These are four very efficient lines of dialogue that bring into play the existence of the engineers, the fact that humans can be engineered, and Fifield's aggressive nature.
The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent
