I think I agree, as a writer, that the ending of Prometheus was quite 'shackling.' Although, I think we should try and recall that Lindelof, Spaihts and Scott all mentioned having had detailed discussions regarding where P2 would be going, while they were writing and shaping PROMETHEUS.
On the DVD Commentary, Lindelof stated "..
.I think we have some cool ideas as to exactly what the Engineers were up to but having the characters advancing the most popular theories, that was our way of dealing with it there."I'd like to have an answer to the 'planned Earth destruction', but not necessarily in
Alien:Covenant.
Anyway, nothing is set in stone yet concerning David and Shaw's relationship; while Lindelof's take on David back in June 2012 was that his intentions are not that bad :
"He's a strange robot that has a curious crush on a human being, and when Weyland is eliminated, I think he is genuinely interested in what she's (Shaw) interested in. He reaches out partly for survival, but partly out of curiosity, and I think he's sincere that he'll take her wherever she wants to go", from memory, Scott hinted that she'd better be careful before reuniting the robot's head and body.
Though one could argue that Lindelof is not on board anymore...
My wish : strange David : yes ... malevolent David : no.
