Other symptoms then start to show, such as bloodshot eyes, very visible dark veins, rapidly deteriorating skin tissue and a very pale, almost livid skin color. To save the life of his beloved Elizabeth and to stop his pain, Holloway is burned alive at his own request by a reluctant Vickers , who refused to let him back on board since he could contaminate and infect other crewmen.

And I kind of agree with him. But, I would have loved to have seen it in the movie. And the reason why is if Guy Pearce is going to be in old-age makeup playing a year-old man, you wonder why we didn't cast a year-old man. An old dude. And the answer was we needed to also play him as a year-old.
I reached out to Lindelof to ask if he was worried that the missing scene might confuse viewers. His response:. Well, for what's it's worth, I was quite confused about David's actions without this missing scene and think some explanation would have been warranted. Alas, now, at least, we have that explanation.

Although I couldn't make notes during the film, I believe that he quoted Peter O'toole's character, Lawrence, on more than one occasion. Was he attempting to attain a similar achievement with the Engineers as Lawrence did with the Arabs? Why did he infect the Crew leader? What was his motivation? After all David is a computer with a programmed purpose: serving Weyland. This is the irony underlying Holloway's insulting David.
In the very beginning of the film David's hair style is different, then we see him watching the film while he is coloring the roots of his hair to match Peter's, and then he combs it so that he has the same hair style. He later repeats the phrase "The trick, William Potter, is not minding that it hurts". I think David repeats that line two or three times.
I took this to imply that David's natural appearance is different including his hair color. Is this sequence connected to David's fascination with the Engineers. Absolutely, because this scene defines a repeating theme that David tents to overly obsess over things related to the human condition.
I think you have to watch Lawrence of Arabia to understand what was being implied by that scene. David is seen reporting to Peter Weyland that the Engineers are all dead, and he then explains that Peter Weyland ordered him to "try harder" to discover what happen to them.
Did Peter tell David to infect a crew member, or did David conceive this idea on his own? That isn't made clear in the film. Later in the film, Peter Weyland is told to take off his helmet and Elizabeth protests saying that the infection that killed the Doctor could be air born. Peter Weyland appears to not know that the Doctor is dead, and David just gives Elizabeth a look. David says "big things have small beginnings" and then later while talking to the Doctor.
He says "if you could meet your creator, what would you say? I really feel that David understood that the dark fluid was a virus, and that it created life. In that scene David expresses a fascination with meeting ones creator, and also his disapproval of humans. I think he gave it to the Doctor, so he could destroy his creator and turn himself into a creator at the same time.
While answering the question, what does this black stuff really do? Here's my biggest problem with it: David knows absolutely nothing about the black goo. What would make him think that it could create, change, preserve, whatever, human life? I mean, if you happened to come across a bunch of black goo would your first thought be to feed it to some animals. Even if it contains a bunch of nutrients, eating an egg doesn't cause a chicken to start growing in my body.
Not only that, but they have an awesome lab there, why doesn't he just use that to run some experiments on it? Why doesn't he work with the other scientists to find out more about it? Surely that would aid the old man just as much if not more than david working alone. Even if you make the argument that he is just following orders, that just shifts the blame from him to the old man. It doesn't really change the fact that his motives make no sense whatsoever.
He turned out to hate the humans due to the actions of Dr. To me, since the first time David and Holloway met I always had the gut feeling that David was going to do something to Holloway sooner or later. I mean, Holloway was being such an ass towards David! Plus, not only that.. One reason why I believe he knew is that he didn't inform the crew about taking that black goo back with him.
He has a thing for Shaw.
