What movie scenes made you say "Bullshit!"

160. she didn't get a c-section

1.)The film points out that the table is programmed for procedures designed for men, so she opts for an abdominal procedure involving removal of a foreign body. There was no c-section.

2.)A placenta wouldn't have formed in just one day, unless you think the placenta is a mutant, too, in which case, anything goes. This all means that any amniotic fluid would also be limited, unless we head into mutant space baby territory...again...which means we just don't know what would be "realistic."

As for the staples and running around, well, that's where the science fiction comes in. The assumption seems to be that staples were the only treatment used to close the wound, but it's obvious watching the film that the incision is tightly sealed already and the staples are more like an insurance policy. How the wound was closed isn't made clear, but something else was done. She was also routinely injecting herself with some sort of drug to control the pain, which might account for her unusual level of mobility. She was struggling to get around at first, literally stumbling into every scene she had with other characters for the remainder of the film. Running only seemed viable when her life was directly threatened by the giant alien space doughnut ship. I was more taken aback by how she was barely able to stand during the initial confrontation with the Engineer, but could later gather up David's parts and repel down the outside of the alien ship. Clearly, once her surgery didn't serve to amplify the drama, it was effectively ignored.
