Neanderthal: "Alien versus Predator?"
Engineer: "Sigh. For the last time, that is NOT canon!"
Neanderthal: "ALIEN VERSUS PREDATOR!"
Engineer: "Fine, the 'alien' could kick the Predator's ass, okay?"
(Neanderthals ook in approval)

The guys lost in the complex didn't bother me that much … iirc, there was a nasty rock storm (!) going on outside and it was nighttime, and too dangerous to leave the shelter anyway.  Of course, that makes their whole "getting lost" sort of superfluous.  It wouldn't have been that hard to write the characters a tad…

Again, more stuff I hope gets clarified in the director's cut.  I thought some plot points in the movie came along way too fast.  It seems they just arrive at the planet (moon), and immediately find the complex.  It would've made sense to stick in a throwaway line or two while they're still in orbit, along the lines…

Must be some Gnostic thing.

That part didn't bother me as much as some other parts … I can allow that these advanced Engineers have superior senses and intuition in some ways that make noticing something (like a replicant) obvious to them even if it's not obvious to humans.  Sort of how like dogs can sense if there's something wrong or…

@avclub-1beee9fdd7f132dc2f36c09ae265122c:disqus Now that I think of it, the conversations between David & Vickers and later between them and Weyland remind me a lot of the encounter between Roy Batty and his creator at the Tyrell corporation. Though in Prometheus the theme seems to have been given short-shrift. I hope…

Hi, Billy.

Hi, Billy.

Yep … weird misspellings are considered 20-25% more pompous by the cognoscenti.
