Yeah, the equivalent of a handwashing protocol would prevent most of the problems in the movie. Or a dose of common sense. Jesus.
I think it was clear that David was
more than the soulless shell Weyland described him as in his holo-letter. He's definitely shown signs of initiative, and doing things to satisfy himself, and not some explicit externally determined goal.
What was happening to the
archaeologist anyway? Was it making him a space jockey who was then able to father space jockey babies? Was he some middle ground? Would he be able to answer the questions Weyland was looking for?
But David was kinda
random anyway--why was he listening in on Elizabeth's dreams? I mean, as far as the story goes. Was that just to indicate to us that he's creepy and doesn't understand boundaries?
In terms of the narrative I'm not entirely sure what it achieved.

Hmmmph. As long as they don't recast Volstaag or Sif, I guess I'm okay. Ray Stevenson was one of the only reasons I sat all the way through the latest Three Musketeers.
What was happening to the
So, I have no fucking idea. I heard from one podcast that
it was splitting him open like the progenitor in the opening sequence of the film. Somehow equating that drop of whatever the fuck with the substance that disintegrated the pale man.
I simply thought that
archaeologist dude was transforming like the geologist. The "weapon" was forming into a new thing that was going to burst from him sooner or later. Since it was earlier in its life cycle (compared to the geologist or the octopus in Dr. Shaw that passed through her lover first), it was taking a bit to become something new.
Oh, and David
was random. Talk about an inconsistent characterization. Wild.
Oh, and
technology that can "read" our dreams is pretty fucking awesome. Makes me think this kind of thing should have been incorporated better into the movie somehow. I mean, there should be equipment to communicate our thoughts from deep underground or something, yes?
What was even the point of the
technology that could read your dreams?
I don't feel that went anywhere. That we learnt anything by seeing them, or by seeing him see them.
I think it was simply for character
notes for David. Because there was no other purpose. Might I add, I think it is funny that this ship is so much more sophisticated than the ones in the Alien universe thus far. It makes me laugh.
Someone came up with an SMS conversation between Dr Shaw and an Engineer, presumably while she's
in flight to the homeworld.
Needless to say, MASSIVE SPOILERS

Oh, hee. "All will be revealed in James Cameron's PROMETHEUSES."
I feel so much better about wasting two hours of my life now that I've read that.
