Quote from: javablue on Jul 22, 2022, 01:12:12 AMThere's a lot of intertextuality in Prometheus (I have tried to bring this up in the past, to no avail).
Quote from: NecronomIV on Jul 22, 2022, 01:38:12 AMWell, that one went right over my head. Tempting to think it's a nice little nod to Troughton. Thank you. While we're here and discussing it, have you a link to past threads about intertextuality in Prometheus/Covenant. Always interested in that kind of thing.

I've thought for some time that David's flute in Prometheus referenced the second Doctor Who's recorder, thereby perhaps linking David to the Doctor and/or linking Prometheus to the second Doctor's episodes. I'm not big on Troughton eps, can you elaborate? I was never really into Dr Who either but when I saw David with the flute I remembered that one of the early doctors was famous for having a recorder (a flute-like musical instrument) so I checked and found that it was the second doctor. I thought that Ridley may have purposely included it as an allusion to the second doctor series (which includes The Tomb of the Cybermen).
