@Necronom 4
Well i think it would be great idea but then your idea could be implemented just as the Sacrificial Scene....
By that i think the idea is for David to take Shaw to the Engineers Home World but he would have his own Agenda... We could see Shaw arrive and see a place in semi ruin, and see great monuments or partial ones, see more Murals and Fresco's...
We dont have to have Engineers meet them and go through a explanation of their History, could do but maybe most of it could be shown as David interprets and reads some Manuscripts and Tablets found on Paradise, like the Sumerian ones, and as David goes on to explain to Shaw what he reads...
We cut to various cut scenes showing us, just as the Sacrificial Engineer scene was, where it can be used to show us the Engineer Culture and History maybe show us what Paradise was once like, maybe show us Engineers visiting worlds they seeded and teaching them things.
This would be the best way to show us the Engineers....
But also dont forget all bets are off once Shaw has to be put into Cryo Sleep, as we have to assume thats the only way she can make it, and only David would know how long the journey would take and he could tell Shaw anything he wants so that she has to face the fact she has to get into the Cryo Pods or face a slow death of starvation etc...
But no soon as she has, well David can do what he wants, go where he wants and do what he wants with Shaw also....
Maybe he may check out LV 426.... maybe he could get Shaw Face Hugged, with a Queen Chest Buster?
Then pop her back into Cryo Sleep and she could be none the wiser just as Ripley was in Alien 3.... and i say Queen because well it appears they take longer to gestate inside than the Drones do, again see Alien 3.
This could give a whole new meaning to the kind of hell that Ridley was on about....
In fact these things i am on about are all part of my draft i worked on its bits but never put together, i pondered David takes her to LV 426 and gets a specimen to face hug Shaw and then take her to Paradise, where i envisioned the Engineers detected something inside of her and Shaw the Xeno... and it reminded them of the Deacon they tried to create and they cut it out of Shaw....
Finally they have their Deacon so they thought..... and well the Queen is then released by David from a Stasis chamber and it unleash hell on the remainder of the Engineers....
I was going to maybe go further to suggest maybe David had set off the SOS on the Derelict... or at very least he caused a containment breach to allow the Eggs to become accessible.... kind of like he forgot to close the door after he got a Face Huger for Shaw... a door which Kane unfortunately was able to walk into....
But the Prometheus Viral site hinted that Weyland Industries was aware of a signal from LV 426, but that does not mean David could have gone there after and left the door open.....
I would had a lot of other ideas like have the end of the movie lead to a part 3 where we would find out more about Weyland Yutani Merger and the end of Part 3 would see a board room meeting were they give Ash his orders as he prepares for his mission to LV 426 on the Nostramo.
