*This article is (obviously) spoiler heavy* Just uttering the word Prometheus will send some into an uncontrollable rant about how Ridley Scott has lost his touch, slapped us all in the face and desecrated the Alien franchise (though to be fair, Fincher and Jeunet did a fine job of that years ago).
