Holloway is condescending to both Shaw and David. They have something that drive them (existential problems), but Holloway has not. He is hollow? Are there clues in the names of the characters in Prometheus?

Who knows but there is irony with his character and what happens to him. He wanted to destroy religion theology and in doing so payed for it with his life.

I thought about it many times. This "hollow way" makes me think that maybe he has driven us all in a hollow or, so to speak, infertile way of thinking/considerating things throughout its discoveries and then in Prometheus expedition. Are we so sure that the cave paintings were "invitations"? Are we so sure that the Engineers really created mankind? (or are both part of something bigger, even if a bigger creation, since that matching DNA?), and etc. All of these inferences starts on Holloway, even if backed up by Shaw at some points.

Interesting catch, I wonder if the naming of Holloway was intentional based on what you said or if by chance. Either way, it makes a lot of sense. Never noticed that.

Yes, and why is he so interested in finding out the answer to these existential questions (when nothing deep down really drives him)? David is obviously pissed off with his attitude and gives him his "answer"?

I've been saying this for years.  Shaw is sure.  Holloway's way is hollow.

Weyland is a corruption of "Leyland": an extinct British truck company. Ridley liked the gravitas and sense of industrial clout. (See Alien, making of)

Always wondered why it got changed from Weylan to Weyland.  Maybe Ron Cobb told Cameron how he came up with it and Cameron changed the spelling...?

Cameron also added Yutani. Not sure about the thinking there.

Cobb created Weylan-Yutani for Alien.  Cameron changed the spelling slightly to Weyland-Yutani.
