[YouAreMyLuckyStar]

The bit where he mentions that

Spoiler

having a beer with Fassbender is potentially more dangerous than getting acid blood on your face

[close]

got me thinking because

Spoiler

isn't there a clip in one of the recent trailers where Holloway appears drunk in the mess with David? The android asks him how far he would go to get his answers and he replies he'd do anything (or words to that effect)

[close]

. I'm just speculating but

Spoiler

does anyone else think that David, perhaps accidentally or because he's being manipulatd by someone else, somehow make Holloway's infection worse?

[close]

I'm not sure how that hypothesis fits in with recent trailers though.

Spoiler

He takes advantage of an intoxicated holloway and sexes him up a bit?

edit: after watching one of the featurette again I think Holloway makes a deal with David instead. 

[ThisBethesdaSea]

an android rape scene could be intriguing psychologically...in terms of them viewing David as a non-entity, a nothing, a servant. Using him for sexual pleasure would be like using a towel to dry off with. It would be highly intriguing, even more so if David was the one doing the raping....of course, rape is a horrible horrible thing but it's the philosophy behind the creator misusing its creation, or vice versa. There are so many implications.

Why do people hate Lindeloff so much? I'd think any other director/writer would supply non-answers to a big movie they produced that is weeks from release.

[ThisBethesdaSea]

Yeah...the Lindelof hate is more than worn out in my opinion. He knows, he knows there was some colossal disappointment to the ending of Lost, and he's gone on record to squarely blame himself. I like the guy, he's a bit snarky but he also seems to be really intelligent. I wish people would leave him alone.

I may have missed out on some interviews with him, but what I've seen...he seems like a fan living the dream.

[Ooze on First]

I think people have a dislike of Lindelof's penchant for ending things with more questions than answers.
Sometimes that is good, sometimes it's bad.
Given the rumors of lots of non-answers in Prometheus, I'm hoping for the former.

How many things has he done that this applies to?

For the record, i'm one of the weirdos that loved the ending of Lost. Yeah it didn't answer everything, but that ending blew me away all the same.

It is OK to end up with more questions than you started with only when you also have more answers than you started with and things are also gradually making more sense (even when the disparity ratio between the widens as things go on is fine too, so long as you continue to make more sense of things, not less sense). I think this was the problem with the Lost ending - it did nothing to help people make sense of everything that had happened over the last few years.

I like Lindelof just fine - I just hope that he doesn't make the same mistake with Prometheus.

[Bat Chain Puller]

Lindelof was bored, uninspired, and jaded by the time Lost was wrapping. It went on too long and things got stretched out of proportion.

I'm sure with just a 2 hour film (with only the barest possibility of a 2nd and 2rd film) he'll do just fine.

And I'm cool with not knowing for sure what the answers are at the end of Prometheus. As long as some of the ones we had going in are answered.

I like this.

The part where David is investigating the ampule and where he has a drop of something on his finger could have something to do with it. I link it all to the character interview part - where Holloway would do anything to stand next to his Gods and be their equals. Perhaps David figured out a way to use the capsules to turn Holloway into a God? (And then it ends up badly, or he is infected? Or turns into a SJ?)

Spoiler

Anyways - I do think that Holloway's transformation is linked to that bar scene given Lindelof's tip.

I'm not sure the concept of 'rape' can really be applied to a human-looking robot any more than you could apply it to a TV...

[Ruadh]

If the tv is forcing sex on me, then yeah...I'd call it rape. What is it instead? Unwanted Appliance Sodomy?
