I agree- the pod was most likely for Weyland, and probably supposed to be a clue that he's on the ship- after all, why would Theron has a medical pod that wouldn't work on her. It's also a plot device designed to frustrate Rapace as she tries to give herself an abortion. Funny how it seems to work on her when she…

1) I obviously did not go back a second time, but to my memory, they were an exact match, and someone says "Look! It's and exact match!"

You got off easy, my friend.

The only thoughts that Prometheus provokes is how does Lindelof keep getting jobs.

Re: creationism- I didn't what you were saying. Now I do. I wasn't smart enough to get where you were going, but I am big enough to admit when I'm a dick. That was dickish. Sorry.

There are far easier things that would provide far better security and wouldn't leave you stranded on a planet if the flute rolled under the fridge. Biometric scans, passwords, etc.

"There's already grass....cool there's grass....which means our evolutionary ancestors were what...moles?"

"Wow. They had one screen worth of DNA that they showed. That is not alot. It is enough to get wowed by the idea that even that much of a chemical you find on another planet matches our DNA, but it's far cry from saying they were our twins."

Sorry if I was unclear.

[Note that nowhere in the movie does it say that our DNA and Engineer DNA are exactly alike. ]

So, you think it was on another planet? Then why is the shot in the movie?

Things can be hard to untangle and still be good- look at Memento. Prometheus is just stupid and nonsensical on a basic and objective level. Leaving the epically, ridiculously, woefully retarded lack of understand of basic 5th grade biology, the people in this film just don't ever do anything that makes any sense at…

David Brin did a wonderful job of the whole Van Daniken thing with the 'Sundiver', 'Startide Rising', and to a lesser extent 'The Uplift War'.

I hope he's tied up doing a movie with Brett Ratner, the only director shitty enough to really suit his shitty writing.

Also, I think you have it wrong. If a bad, ridiculously stupid lack of understanding of how biology works and how people with a high school education would behave, buried under a bunch of pseudomystical non-sensical bullshit is your definition of bold.

I was trying to remember if the opening shots had vegetation in them. There was nothing about that movie that wasn't fucking stupid.

Here's a few reasons:

Lindelof should have to go back to middle school and pass science. Seriously- intelligent design advocates have a more solid grasp on physics, astronomy, and biology.

Loquidiocy has a very nice ring to it.

And christ, look at Mitt Romney- it's hard to attribute his success to intelligence and charm after his trip overseas.
