This not being in the movie does factor in to me not disliking it more. Based on this alone, I can't tell if I like or hate any of the characters. It's just extended banter. Walter did not feel any different from David here. Visually, it looks and feels just like Prometheus, yet that isn't fully indicative of the actual film.
Being as it is, with this the only thing to equate, I hope the actual dialogue in A:C is devoid of any hamfisted references whatsoever.
