Blu-ray.com forum user CRS who previous posted several preview images from the Prometheus Bluray menu, has now kindly provided us with an exclusive description of the alternate scene for Prometheus called “Paradise”. This scene will be featured in the upcoming Blu-ray release of the film and lasts for 5:20 minutes. Read below to find CRS comments on the scene:
“This extended scene reveals new information about the engineer homeworld as well as some alternate dialogue between Shaw and David. Note that one of Ridley Scott’s original titles for the film was Paradise and it was even maintained as a cover title for secrecy during production.
It’s basically Shaw and David talking while she gets back on her feet and heads to the Juggernaut and David (his head on the ground). The dialogue alternates/extends somewhat from the film. The scene ends with Shaw putting David’s head in a bag and leaving the Juggernaut“
Smarter than you look Mr. Rabbit.
He was just malfunctioning. That was the robot version of a blue screen.
Thank you, it makes much more sense that a lobster would have the ability to rationalize what's happening to it and panic, a much more advanced response, than react to the most basic of all nervous impulses, which would be pain.
Organisms without pain don't last very long, as "pain" is data that a nervous system sends to the brain about system damage. There's a rare genetic disease in humans called CIPA (congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis) in which the development of the small nerve fibers which transmit pain messages is disrupted, and pain doesn't register as normal, including temperature variations. This also leads to the body not activating certain pain-based measures, such as sweating. This isn't a good thing.
Take it from Terminator when it said "the data may be called pain." It's just data, and any functional android would require it to understand the limits of its own systems, though realistically an artificial person's pain threshold would be much different than ours. Any reaction to this pain other than a defensive response would be clever programming to create empathy.
Lobsters, sweet Christ.
And if programmed and articulated convincingly then there is absolutely no way that a human could tell the difference.
Because Ridley Scott, that's why.
There's a lot about David 8 which doesn't make much sense to design into what amounts to a manual labour device.
That's for organic beings, not machines. All those require is a programmed directive. They follow rules a lot more literally.
Actual pain is different to just an self-diagnostics identification of malfunction. It's also a lot more difficult to simulate, one would imagine, which begs the question of why they'd even attempt to do such a thing in the first place.
Maybe because he betrayed her and the crew with his double agenda with Weyland, and he didn't want to help her remove
the alien fetus growing inside her and just back-anesthetized-stabbed her instead.
oh, and he was also stalking her dreams.
no reason to be pissed
but remember what he said in alien3 before Ripley turned him off? "my leg hurts.........it hurts please turn me off" how about that?
its not a significant thing just trying to mess with ya
True - didn't stop Bishop writhing in synthetic pain when the Queen Bishkebabbed him, though.
A completely adequate reason to shove a head in a bag rather than carry it by the hair.
Bishop clearly gave off an anguished groan as the queen's tail eviscerated him in "Aliens". I'd assume that when trying to create artificial intelligent, life that the idea is to duplicate any an all aspects of human experience as possible. The idea being, the more indistinguishable, the more you've succeeded. (Blade Runner's replicants clearly operate under this assumption)
I would have thought it was more for her comfort than for his. Kind've awkward having a fully articulated head dangling around your crotch area.

More human than human, that's their motto
Looks pretty pained when he get's his head yanked off.
There's no need to put books in a backpack. You can merely carry them by hand.
