A strange thing to do. To be fair it's also quite a bit siller in terms of the action that Lindelof's version. It wouldn't have been a serious brooding sci-fi epic of the type Scott wanted to make.

OK, it's a bit cheesy in places, but plot wise it holds together far better, and the links to Alien are much more satisfying. Yes, it's an Alien film, but realistically so is Prometheus. If he didn't want to make an Alien prequel, then there was that option, but the links were never severed, just weakened, and that doesn't really achieve anything. For example, in this script, the planet IS LV-426. And of course it is! Why wouldn't it be? Why change that? What have you achieved by changing that? Totally agree with this.
