I reached out to Lindelof to ask if he was worried that the missing scene might confuse viewers. His response:. Well, for what's it's worth, I was quite confused about David's actions without this missing scene and think some explanation would have been warranted.

The infection at first very slowly mutates him and no symptoms are present.
Holloway eventually has sex with Shaw and unknowingly impregnates her with an alien monster. After sleeping with Shaw he begins to feel a fever and also notices a very small organism in one of his eyes. Later, the infection spread more and caused him an even more severe feverish state and intense pain afterwards.
Other symptoms then start to show, such as bloodshot eyes, very visible dark veins, rapidly deteriorating skin tissue and a very pale, almost livid skin color. To save the life of his beloved Elizabeth and to stop his pain, Holloway is burned alive at his own request by a reluctant Vickers , who refused to let him back on board since he could contaminate and infect other crewmen.

I would have preferred to see a film with only him and the 'engineers' in it, rather than any of those ludicrous, 2-dimensional, cliched characters. A trillion dollar mission to discover life elsewhere in the Universe and they send a disturbed sociopath with a mohican rather than, say, Story Musgrave. Peter Bradshaw and Philip French in particular gave positive reviews.
I guess it is difficult being a reviewer when your employers have sold a fortune in advertising to a film's producers I touched on a sequel earlier. In fact I doubt there will be one, or if there is it will be a low budget cash-in to try and recover a few dollars from Fox's folly. This film we be a flop.
Word of mouth will not be good and repeat video sales will be poor. I'm sorry. I'm disappointed. Maybe I'll have a s;lightly more positive spin on things when I've had a few days to let it sink in.
I didn't do that with Bladerunner. They haven't a clue what it will do if anything. Weyland clearly states he has days to live, no time for lengthy tests so what better way than a live subject and who would volunteer? For all fans, I would suggest reading Badassdigest's review, which sums up my own questions and frustrations nicely.
I do want to see a sequel though, so they can wrangle back a good fulfilling story I would loved to have seen much more of David on the ship in the two years prior to the crew awakening. Those moments were too few, but were beautifully Kubrick-esque. In my mind, they may have added to further reasoning behind David's motivations to please his 'father'. Speculatively infecting a human to see what would happen? Space Jockstrap Ovomorph Member 0 XP Jun PM It's obvious to me that the subservient David is remotely reprogrammed by the secretly reawakened Weyland in order to carry out his diabolical plan Kyzo Ovomorph Member 0 XP Jun PM As the consequences of the action were unknown i think it enters a sort of grey area in regard to the programmed laws.
As for the transformation he undertook he did seem to be changing into an engineer I actually pictured a cringey fight in which he would battle the sleeping engineer so was quite relieved to see him burn. Drevkov Ovomorph Member 0 XP Jun AM If you pay attention David asks how far will you go to get your answers, and holloway said anything so his system assumes he would talk the black goop.
That is a concept invented by Isaac Asimov. It has no more relevance outside the universe of Asimov's robot stories than does George Lucas's 'force' has outside Star Wars. If any writer wants to have a robot harm a human, fine - it's their story! David infected Holloway because he is also jealous, yeees, jealous cos he is "feeling" something about Elizabeth Shaw. He looks after her. He will know that he is in love in some point. Feelings come from our brain, not our heart.
And feelings are learned! He knows how to operate de ships, knows how to open easily the ship doors He imitates human beings. And also we are aware that we all learn from imitation. He knows it. And he certainly wants the Black Substance tested out on a subject other than himself. He may be maniacal and hell bent on conquering in his own way as the Engineers now seem to be but he isn't stupid either to offer himself up as the first trial guinea pig for the so-thought of serum as they were not to know its value to an organism yet whether for the good or bad.
Did any notice he never once used a electron microscope or any other lab devices A lot of people just consider David 8 a butler with a pleasing demeanor He not only can extract and analyze foreign materials, but he has a combat chassis, ultra capable sensors all five senses , and he may have been programmed humans are programmed too - what do you think DNA is all about
