Spoiler!

And I don't think Vickers was an android or replicant - I think she was his natural daughter, kicked to the curb because of Weyland's obvious affection for David and desire to have a son, not a daughter. That's why she was so hostile to both of them. I think she basically ****ed the captain just to prove to him that she wasn't an android.

I think that is the most common-sense explanation -- Occam's Razor, perhaps. But if you're looking for a twist, I think that would be a nice one. And how better to prove how good the engineering is than to bed a human?

Are you an android?
(Pause) No.

Meaning: No, I'm not a machine ... but I'm not really human either. Here, let's have sex, you won't notice the difference.
