Isn't that what they use on the engineer head? Does she use that on herself?
Yup, twice if I recall correctly.

Oh, I know she injects herself with something more than once (I thought it was three times actually) but was it definitely this? Cuz this stuff seems preeeeetty tailored to one role and helping you in the middle of an operation certainly isn't one of them. I thought it was some future opiod preparation.

I thought the needle was a magical stem cell muscle knit serum because there was no way in hell someone just out of a caesarean could run and jump like that.
I see what the problem is. You people aren't thinking sci-fi
enough.
100 years ago you'd have been saying - "Caesarean sections whilst awake? There is no way!" and yet that was when spinal anaesthesia was being pioneered. This was one area I didn't have a problem with in the movie. She's sprayed with an anaesthetic which I assumed was future-local-anaesthetic that acts locally and penetrates deeply. Why not?

You can do this forever. As an avid sci-fi buff, though, I'm going 'lawl'.
SubJeff on 21/6/2012 at 08:26
What is "lawl" and why are you doing it?

This is getting embarrassing.

I know. Can't people think for themselves anymore?
:p

It was Xeno-Zip. Yes, I just went there.

This is even more hilarious than the time SE tried to convince everyone that HL2 had a plot and that Freeman was a deep and complex character, not just a HEV suit with a crowbar.
Please, tell us how the sci-fi setting excuses explains the biologist's screaming retardity curious reaction to the vagina snake?

This is where you reveal yourself to be inept and small minded.
The reaction of the biologist to the snake-thing was, imo, ridiculous.
I never said the film was perfect, and your idiotic post says more about you than me. Nowhere have I tried to explain away the things that are flawed or can't be explained, and I know there are many of them. I'm perfectly capable of enjoying a flawed film in the same way as your friends and family must be able to enjoy your company despite your obvious and frequent verbal shitrains.
And the last thing I would expect you to understand was my whimsical alternate take on Freeman.

One of the sad things about the biologist/snake scene is they could have made it a genuinely scary scene, maybe similar to the scene in Aliens where Ripley/Newt are trapped in Medical with the facehuggers, instead the laughfest that it turned out to be. You just have to wonder wtf they were thinking there.
