2. Weyland calls David the closest thing he's ever had to a "Son". Vickers calls him "Father", which makes her his "Daughter" [i](counter-point: she's actually Weyland's daughter, but has a different last name).[/i]
3. The pilot asks her to have sex, and she agrees. You might see this as proof of her being biological, but don't forget about the replicants from Blade Runner (Decker sleeps with Rachel, and Pris is a "Pleasure Model"). A clever replicant would be programmed with sex drive, or at least, enough of a sex drive to throw humans off the scent.[i] (counter-point: sex proves that she is human)[/i]
4. She pushes David around like he's made of toothpicks. Not exactly the nail in the coffin, but I'm sure everyone remembers how strange this scene was.
[i](counter-point: David is programmed to obey her and never harm her)[/i]
5. This is the big one. It's a throwaway line unless you actually think about it. When Shaw asks the med-bay to perform a cesarian it says it was not configured for women, only men. That means Vickers had a med-bay in her private quarters that was not configured for her. The med-bay was obviously for Weyland, but it seems odd that they wouldn't program it for Vickers as well. But then again, androids don't need medical attention. [i](counter-point: just because it's not meant for women, doesn't mean women can't use it with a little 'negotiating'. The reason I don't like this counter-point is because Vickers shouldn't have to 'negotiate' with the tech. She is in command. You would think everything would be setup for her)[/i]
Anything I missed?
