My initial reaction but thinking back but I see the scene differently after thinking back on the Engineers action. It appeared that David was very pleased to be touched by an "intellectual equal".

I think David was "pleased" (if that applies to a robot) because his maker was finally dying - Jazz Inmate 07:11:50 11/09/12 (1)
This plays into an earlier conversations/statements in other scenes. David was also experiencing the irony of being disassembled by his maker's maker. It was a powerful moment/scene. You knew it would rapidly go brutal but it was interesting how the violence erupted. The other cool thing about how David lost his head was as a redux of Ash losing his head in the original Alien.

- Agreed. Harkens back to when Weyland 'insulted' David for his lack of a soul. - Enophile 22:08:02 11/10/12 (0)
  Good point, Jazz.
