I am thrilled that Ridley Scott is...FINALLY...taking the heat for the criticism lobbed at "Prometheus," which I loved, by the way. I felt it was hugely unfair that fans took out their frustrations on Damon Lindelof over the film, when all he did was write what Scott wanted. If Scott hadn't liked what Lindelof wrote, he wouldn't have directed it. As Lindelof has repeatedly stated, he would write something, go over with Scott, and Scott would advise him on what to do next. And as we all know, Scott loves to improvise on his sets, which made further changes.
It pisses me off that fans dumped on Lindelof because they were still butt-hurt about how "Lost" ended, which I loved, by the way. It was the "cool thing" to do at the time: instantly hate on anything Lindelof did. Never mind there were several cooks in the kitchen on the new "Star Trek" films; anything fans didn't like, it was Lindelof's fault.
I loved "Prometheus," so I'm not hating on the film. But I am happy that, after all these years, Scott can finally admit that HE was at fault for the film's shortcomings, not Lindelof. I respect Scott more now than I ever have.
