that he KNEW his fledgling career was finished. Little did he know he became a cult figure among many, many Alienophiles.

interesting fact about Paxton, no telling what the general public will like ; ) - PhilJ 17:04:49 06/10/12 (4)
I just think that both movies had such potential it highlights the deficient script/storyline that much more

SPOILER

how dumb was the idiot that wanted to pet the space snake like it was a kitty? how could that possibly get into the script?

I missed the agenda of the android, it seemed he wanted to sabotage the mission (much like Ian Holms in Alien)

how can they repeat that storyline?

maybe I am wrong about this and just missed the android's intent.

  and die first. Since there were no dumb. large breasted bimbos on board we had to get a thug and a wacko out of the way according to the rules.

  ... or of their offspring, androids included?
  
  "David" (like Michelangelo's David or HAL) was a work of art AND a frankenstein monster, as anything that is added to the cosmic soup creates consequences and ripples throughout time, for all time. Things without souls may be an "unknown quantity" and better left off the time line lest lives buckle from discontinuity.
  
  In "Blade Runner" the subject of an engineered son (and every bit as capable as its creator plus some) questioning its creator was most clearly resolved - by summary execution.
  
  The lives of soul beings have purpose that is extra dimensional. The consequence of "creating" soulless lives bound by artificial dimensional imprisonment is terminal/null.
  
  Perhaps R. Scott will develop this theme to a new height?
  - a very interesting idea but I do not think the film approaches that depth - PhilJ 17:37:42 06/13/12 (0)
    or will in the future (of course I hope to be proven wrong) the android was merely a prop to move the story forward and it served it's purpose which was to display action and graphics.
