To me the slime that David picked up on his fingers in the tunnel, and was looking through, is like the slime which is seen in the other Alien movies.
He was not looking through the black goo at that moment imo.

In this point I have to disagree. When David moves the slime between his fingers, it seemed to have a reactive or self-conductive property. I always assumed it be some byproduct of the Engineers' seemingly bio-mechanical workings of the ship.

I think we can come to a point where what we both wrote can be consistent.
- With my statement about "the slime which is seen in the other Alien movies", I'll back off on that and can agree that in "Prometheus" this was unusual slime that David had between his fingers. (Sounds funny but that's the best way I can describe it.)   :laugh:
- As you wrote; "the slime between his fingers, it seemed to have a reactive or self-conductive property."
OK, something is going on in the slime. It looks like something is alive in it.
- What I stand by is that the slime is not = to the black goo. So again as I wrote, David "was not looking through the black goo at that moment".

The human body is full of Bacteria. Trillions and trillions of those little guys. The Black goo probably mutates them as well as human cells.

Might be the same crap we see on Nu-Alien Vision (TM).

Weren't they the same worms they found inside the derelict in one of the deleted scenes?

Yeah. I think it was to show that he was infected and the process of change was well underway.

Its a good thing he didn't blow his nose.

Were they normal worms that live on the eyes/eyelashes of humans? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demodex_folliculorum


This was always my assumption.

The black goo droplet definitely seemed to be alive and bubbling from the inside on David's fingertip. I assume it would mutate everything with in a organism. Which could perhaps put an emphasis on the importance of "being clean" when showing up on God's doorstep.

I noticed this as well, but it is really quick. AV Setup, Blu Ray, 52 Vizio. Def looks like little worms or something in the drop.
We'll have to wait till Prometheus 4k comes out later, might see it more easily.

QuoteBut the real question imo is: why didn't he tell anyone he's got eye-worms? He doesn't even say this to his own girlfriend...
I think he was still drunk and a little hungover, Charlie seemed like a boozer.

I doubt any rational person would do this.

- Irrational behavior which happens in our world can be put into a film.

I definitely wouldn't keep something like that a secret and would have wanted help or a cure asap!

- What one person would do is not = to what everyone might do.

- From "Prometheus" it looks like Charlie Holloway abuses alcohol.
And a person who is very drunk/hungover can doubt what they are seeing.
Imo Charlie drinking champagne from a bottle (starting when the Engineer head reanimation experiment happened) was not the first time that he got completely wasted drunk.
- Chronic drinking / hangovers, can greatly impair a person's senses.
For instance there can be hallucinations due to alcohol.

QuoteAlcohol-related hallucinations are a relatively common occurrence among people who are acutely intoxicated, or those who are undergoing withdrawals from chronic alcoholism.

- People with alcohol problems can hide their symptoms.
This is why the Alcoholics Anonymous organization is anonymous. Alcohol abusers often want to keep the problem secret.

- Ridley expects the viewer to know what getting very drunk / hungover is about.
I had a discussion with my son (who doesn't touch booze) and he was baffled by what Holloway did while drinking in the movie.
Myself, being a heavy partier in college, understood what was going on with Holloway just fine.
