Proof that David8 has real emotion/humanity?

Heres is my view upon it: David 8 was built to mimic human emotions [as you can see in the David 8 Virals], and he is learning to mimic all kind of human behavior that helps him get along with his human counterparts. Also, at the same time, he is being told what to do by Weyland. The most interesting thing about David 8 to me is when he confeses that he consideres that everyone want's their parents dead. That is what he is used to see about Vicker's behavior towards Weyland and he deduces that to all humans. He also considers about freedom, though admitting that he doesn't understand what "wanting" is. Very curious programing that Robot has.

yeah, due to the fact he is made to mimic emotion, it's kind of hard to tell what is "mimicked" and what is "real" I thought that part was interesting too, thought it also drew interesting parallels with humans and thier "parent" engineers :P very curious indeed....

And it does wiffy. I mentioned it in my review. There seems to be two sub-narratives at play. One being the Father-Child dualism. [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/7904]Sub-narratives[/url]

I think the element of synthetics experiencing emotions is echoed throughout the Alien Franchise... - Ash's urges when attacking Ripley - Bishops reluctance to enter the pipe in Aliens - Bishops plea to Ripley in Alien 3 - Calls disliking of herself and her compassion for mankind

Snorks: True. There are a lot of hints about them prefering to exist then being "sacrificed" for the greater good + Ash's sexual innuendo with the magazine [oral sex... anyone?...]

@ david- I agree with everything you said in that review. *high-five* :P @snork- very true, that's why i love all the androids so much ...wait...ash's sexual innuendo? i think i missed that in alien LOL you dirty, dirty perverts XD

The first scene on the ship shows DAVID eating and drinking while the crew is in cryo-suspension (He also watches a movie then dyes his hair to match one of the actors). Was he learning to mimic humans at this point or could he really enjoy (but not utilize) the meal? Not sure. But the Peter Weyland TED 2035 speech says "Weyland Industries has been making androids, indistinguishable from humans, since 2023" and that would be 4 years after Blade Runner. Maybe Weyland acquired the Tyrell Corporation after the death of Eldon Tyrell which would make DAVID more Replicant than android. Don't believe me? Go watch Leon sniff the cold eye at Chew's Eye Works then pull back his nose in a small double jerk; DAVID does the exact same move in the same direction and posture when he smells the sticky substance.

oh, so you think that blade runner and the alien franchise share the same universe? very interesting theory!

Well... Sir Ridley seemed to go through a period of his imaginative life when he considered A.I. and all about it. So, it isn't a stretch to consider that his points of view are the same in both movies

And thaks Wiffy... that was so sweet of you to say so! I wonder what you're up to.... < .<
