Personally, I think Prometheus ruined of what could have beena  great story about the Space Jockey and I think Damon Lindelof ruined it was his botched job, plot holes and ridiculous play.  He sold Ridley on a different approach to the series and I think Ridley is trying to plug up the mistakes.  Anyway, what you think would have been a sensible approach to Prometheus?

Was going to do a re-write myself, i had a number of changes jotted down.

The broad Changes was.

*Tone down some of the Goofy/Cheesy Dialog

*Flesh out some Characters

*Add more clues to some of the Dialog but not as Spoon Fed as Spaights especially Commander Data i mean Holloway lol

*Spend bit more time on the Mural and Fresco, and give some minor clues.

*Scene behind the Mural Door that exposed a Sacrificial Chamber with another Mural but again only vaguely see this room.

*Re-fit the missing parts that made some elements silly, like Fifield and Milburn getting lost (the drafts had good reason for this).   Add extra dialog for other elements like the taking off the Helmets supported more by a bit more information on the Atmosphere composition via a Device (but we got this explained loosely by David and Ford).

*Change the Prologue a bit and other parts to make more of a Ancient God connection like throw in parts from Spaights Draft that highlighted Changes to our Evolution at constant intervals etc. 

*Give a More Xeno looking Fifield who kills few less people.

*Show a scene of the Hammerpedes having Eggs, that look like small Xeno ones.

Few more changes here and there....

But certainly No Spaights Xeno Flick where Shaw (Watts) basically makes Ripley seem a total (kitten) i felt it was lame she basically killed nearly all the Xenos in that flick lol... Like she was more Bad As than Doom Marine from the Doom Games.

And also Nope... dont explore the Deacon more... it was fine how it was, we needed to leave a number of things vague more not as vague so that a Sequel would cover them.

Oh my Draft...

Ford dies from injuries after being attacked by a Hammerpede

Vickers gets picked up by Engineer as he seems impressed with her, and Shat attacks him with the Axe, and this pisses him off and he flings Vickers to the Floor and she bangs her head and cuts it open....

Engineer then attacks Shaw as per alternative Scene, When Shaw runs off she looks at Vickers Body and she its twitching like ASH but has Red Blood... she soons gathers stuff and leaves the Life Boat.

These Changes was to show that the Engineer maybe had no real interest in killing the Females, and maybe he had other interests for them.

Thanks everyone for contributing.  I been away due to work and came back to read all these responses.  Personally, I just wished they confined the story to LV-426 and stop making the planets so earth-like (like in the current Alien Covenant).  I love the bleak looking worlds.
