Building a new body for David's head


So at the end of Prometheus, David is just a head. Shaw and David head go to fund an Engineer ship to fly away. David knows how the ship works but Shaw has to push the buttons because David's got no hands. I guess she carries around David's head so he can tell her which buttons to push.

Now how does Shaw build a new body for David? Using Engineer technology and Engineer materials. Remember she's limited to just what she can find on their ship. And she is not an expert robot builder, she's a science officer right?
So for a non expert, using unfamiliar technology and random scavenged materials, she did a damn good job making him a body that looks factory original. So much so that he and Walter are twinsies.
I would expect it to look a little Frankenstein-ish.

I forgot but I always thought David's body was not destroyed in the final battle at the end of Prometheus and she was able to reattach it to that.


I'm trying to go for an engaging, funny youtube channel so, if you have the time, take a look. Hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance. A review of the movie here- https://youtu.be/fyYgj2Fpur0

His head was just ripped off and the body was relatively intact, but wasn't it inside that ship that crashed and exploded?

reply

yeah, that's what i'm trying to remember.

She took the head and the body with at the end of Prometheus. There's a scene in the YouTube video that shows shaw reattaching the head. Nice and simple.

They should have wifi'd the body and the head like in Red Dwarf with Kryten.

Much more believable.

Thanks, I will need to find that video.
