Well said. Among other sins of logic (made worse by the producers being unable to settle on a consistent long-term direction for sequels, all due respect to Michael Fassbender's performance), Prometheus expects us to believe all organic life on Earth originated from alien tampering to create the first microbes, which had to evolve to produce humans. That's just a creationist fantasy. Sometimes it can be in interesting ways for an Aesop, like TNG 6.20 "The Chase" trying to plead for interstellar peace in the face of rival hostilities. But in Prometheus, the Engineers' relationship to humanity ultimately served nothing, and the movie would have had nearly the same result without that plot point.
Or as "Spocko" says in A Piece of the Action: 'Check.'Why would they say either one?
srsly, a Vulcan would say "Very well." or "Confirmed."
I just rewatched it with some friends, and I have not noticed anything like that. Do you have a precise timestamp of the scene?
Yes. It is rewriting the lore to address the fact that the franchise has gone on longer than anyone ever expected.
Yes and I feel like Trek has always done so.
Yeah, when a series is based around the idea that it's our future, then you kind of have to keep pushing at least things in the backstory farther and farther into the future if you want to stick to that concept. It's kind of like how comic books or The Simpsons keeping pushing the backstory forward in time more and more so that it stays the same distance away from the show.
