I just viewed a review of Prometheous by Chris Stuckman on you tube. It is very fascinating. Its about 20 minutes long and its worth watching. In the review he talks about the whole movie beginning to end. But what interested me the most was his personal opinion on the posibility of Vickers being an android just  like David.    My personal opinion is that Vickers is an android  but does not want to admit it. Deep down inside she senses  that she is a construct, a biological machine, but fights against that being the truth on a daily basis. That is one of the reasons she has so much animosity against David. She hates the fact that David accepts hids role as an android, and seems to be happy about. Not that he has much choice, especialy when he was programmed to know happiness, but but does not have the capability of feeling it. I also think that we will see Vickers again in the Prometheous sequel. Her death was to nonchalant. Her memories, personality and her artificial make up has in my opinion been transfered to another body. We will see her on another Weyland funded expedition in search of Shaw and David.     I know that many of you will say this theory is crazy, or that it makes no sense. Remember my friends we are talking about a science-fiction film. A controversial one at that. Its that in my opinion Vickers was holding something back. For examplr remember when she and Janeck had sex. Does it not seem like she did it to prove to herself that she had needs to be fulfilled just like any human being also. Let me know what you people think about all of this.

It is because Humanity has never known where it was going that it has been able to find its way. Oscar Wide (1854-1900) Irish poet and dramatist.

"... David accepts hids role as an android..." That's all he knows..he is robot with programming..but is his curiosity(at humans' expense) a trait from Peter Weyland? Also with the adventures of Shaw and /David coming up.(and being the only two that have a human connection) will they develop a 'friendship' to the extent they can..(Us against the Universe mentality) One lasr thing,,with ONLY Shaw/David left to represent the human race,,isn't the next pre-qual going to be short of humans for movie viewers to identify with? It is hard to imagine a SCI Fi movie..of this magnatude,with no other humans in the script. If there are notices of actors being signed to appear on the next movie,,then we know there will some extra human representation..and can imagine a few more storylines.

At least it's not that 1h + of a dude saying F"%# every other minute or so and complaining and whining and moaning about the movie.

I agree with you @David 1 on your opinion about the amount of whinners that tend to stick to certain threads like flys. If I did not like Prometheous. Then why would I waste my time bashing it. Why would anyone go on a thread that talks positive about the movie, if you did not like it. Makes no sense.

My 2 Cents: There was something like 3-4 years time that passed after Shaw/Holloway discover the paintings and they land on LV-223 (at least a couple years if you don't count the 2-year journey). IMO this is when David/Weyland plot their dasterdly deeds; when the diabolical human condition and any coniving occurs... So it's ripe for flashbacks -- which is where your human actors come in. I wish now that I had seen some Lost episodes. Can any of you perhaps enlighten me/us who have not seen it what exactly Lindy's "M.O." is? Did he plant as many questions/inconsistencies as he may have in Pro? If so, did he "answer" [all of] them, or not (I've heard from 3-5 folks who did watch the series: they all said the ending SUCKED).

My opinion on Vickers, is that she is both. What I mean by that, is that I think there are Vickers androids which used the real Vickers as a template. This is what may have prompted the question as to whether she was real or not in the film. Just like in Alien 3, there are two Bishops. At some point there was someone they took as a reference point to base them on. There is also the possibilty that the Vickers in the film is an android and the real one could still be alive.

"...Vickers in the film is an android and the real one could still be alive..." Maybe if Peter Weyland created David ..perhaps the real Vickers,,had influence to create her own Andriod..and programmed according ly. Also if she is the Daughter of Peter,,why is her name not Weyland? There is some back story there,,, BTW Except for the Weyland's,family ,I don't recall any mention of any crew members' family.... sharing of pix of the kids.parents ect. are common on long trips..in our world..
