If the sequel is either Epimetheus or Pandora I will hit somebody with a stick

So we saw Prometheus back on Monday, and I gotta say I wasn't impressed:

1) If you, a humanoid, can breathe on a planet, or if its atmosphere is 20% oxygen, it already has life on it, and you can take a pretty good guess as to what some of that life looks like. Free oxygen doesn't just happen, guys. Class M means chlorophyll or its equivalent, and something to make it and use it.

2) Anyone who says Egypt, Babylon, and Ugarit had no contact should not have graduated from high school, much less have a Ph.D. in anything.

3) Evolution does not work that way. Just sayin'.

4) You cannot run like that after a cesarian. Your stomach muscles have been severed. Goddamit, I know dudes wrote this movie, but damn, none of them ever took care of someone who got a c-section?

5) Speaking of which, the reproduction 'subplot' (in quotes because it was more tossed out than explored) was really just all kids of triggery/squicky for me.

But, honestly, it was sort of worth it just to be able to watch Prometheus In 15 Minutes. (You shouldn't need one, but Major Spoiler Warning, okay?)
