Aight, I'ma go ahead out of the kindness of my heart and translate all this shit for ya'll.

wtf? how about in the second movie of the series, ALIENS. Ripley is repulsed by Bishop after finding out he's an android. How about iRobot, Terminator, Blade Runner (WHAT THE ENTIRE MOVIE WAS BASED ON), Star Wars "We don't serve their kind here" ... etc, etc. This is literally one of the dumbest statements ever made.

^^^Translation: "blah blah blah... cuz he was programmed to!" great, thanks for that revealing bit of info. So basically the robot coerced the human against his will by tricking him. what a TERRIBLE explanation.

^^^ Translation: "I don't know but thought it would be cool to put it in the script."

^^^ last sentence says it all... "WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS SUCCESSFUL, I WAS GONNA WRITE THE SHIT ANYWAY." So basically he's saying I don't give a fuck if this works or not, I just felt like throwing it in there so i did.

^^^ Translation "Blah blah blah... I'm gonna answer your question by rewording it and asking you the same thing only use 30 sentences to do so. I'm an awesome guy!"

>In an interview with IGN, this question is addressed — but

>Holloway's thesis, and he says "If your thesis is correct" and
>Holloway says "If it's correct?" and David says "That's why

^^^Translation: "Blah blah blah... i'm gonna reword your question AGAIN and then come up with 10 irrelevant questions of my own, all while not answering the initial question whatsoever. I'm a cool dude!

>What is David saying to the engineers?

>MTV News got this answer as part of a lengthy email exchange

>Yes. David's dialogue with the Engineer has an English

^^^Translation: "We don't know wtf that nigga said, we just wanted him to say something before goon albino decapitated him."


And there you have it... Lingering questions answered!
