Ross, do you have a source for that? I only ask because I want to read what Scott says about it, I'm not saying you're wrong. The only interview I've found and read that touched upon the opening scene is that it may not be taking place on Earth. When I first saw Prometheus on Friday night, I thought the same thing you wrote above.

When my friend and I went back and saw it on Sunday, going into it after smoking this good pot, my outlook and thought process radically shifted, and I saw things in a more sinister light.

It felt too obvious that he would be the messianic sacrifice. The engineers/space jockeys/call them what you will, seem to have an agenda we couldn't even begin to imagine. As seen in the film, they're very ruthless and cruel. There might be valid reasons for their general dispostions.

My friend and both think that something else was going on in that scene. He seemed refreshed after gulping it down, a reaction one wouldn't have, knowing their body is about to disintegrate, even if he was prepared to sacrifice himself. When he starts convulsing, he appears shocked to me. The craft in the distance disappears ominously into the mist above.

Man, such a killer scene.

Shaw screams "Why do you hate us?"

If you were an engineer, wouldn't you hate us as well? Our planet is fucked.
