Shaw

I think we can count on David to devise any needed 'sleep chamber' Shaw might require... I look at the ending as Shaw has 'lost' all of her living crew(her world) and looking around it is time to take some real action! Maybe she is inspired by some of Vicker's traits..that might help her kick some Alien a** !!..

I would have done the same thing, to be honest [I think... if I wasn't scared sh*****]

But why?

Air Miles?

It is all smacktarded - but this one makes more sense than other things. Personally I think it would've been better if she made it off in a different ship from the Prometheus, went into hypersleep, and was awaked some time later with the company in orbit around the SJ planet. Make her into a true protagonist instead of the unrealistic pip-squeeke of a lead she was in the last movie! Vickers wou.ld've been better for the role actually. Kill Shaw off with stupid ass squid hugger and have Vickers escape - really shock and piss off the crowd

Doubtful!!!

[i]What is she really hoping to acheive?[/i] Answers to the most burning questions that she's had all of her adult life. [i]Shouldnt she just wanna go home and get hammered and relax?[/i] No, she's not that kind of person. I suspect that she's well aware that she could very easily be heading towards an early grave and values knowledge above life itself. [i]Is this not unrealistic?[/i] Not if you have her mindset. Plus, she has a strong conviction that the end of her journey will be heaven (paradise) in any case. [i]Whats the point of this, what is Ridley trying to show us?[/i] The point is to show us that there's still a lot more of the Alien universe that we don't know about, and that Shaw is likely a key element of that continuing story.

zzplural - good answers.

After what happened to her you expect she's just going to go back home, relax on the couch and sip on a glass of moscato? Hell no, she knows she'll be haunted for the rest of her f%$#king life by the traumatic events she's endured - her life is changed forever - the only way out is THRU!! To expect her to go back to "normal" in my opinion is completely unrealistic.

Shaw has the ONCE IN A LIFETIME chance to 'meet her maker', that's why. :)

Yes,,now is not the time to create a facebook page,,go to the Casino or find a new hobby A chance to meet your maker would be quite an expereince.. However,, I might opt for hot pizza and cold beer..
