There are two LoA tieins so far. That David holds up the eye worm and says "Big things come from small beginnings." (An LoA line). Second, in the Weyland TED talk, Weyland opens he speech with and antecdote about LoA. How does LoA play into Prometheus? LoA is the story about the Arabs who are at war with the Turks. Lawrence comes to represent the British and lead them. The British ultimately want Arabia for themselves. Lawrence wants the Arabs to be independent after they defeat the Turks, but doesn't get his way. So we have three parties at work: the Arabs, the Turks and the Brits. In Prometheus, we have the humans, the SJs, and the Xenos. Perhaps the LoA story parallels in Prometheus with the Xenos at war with the SJs, and the humans come and get involved though a liaison. Just a thought.

A bit of LOA related Trivia of a sort... This Prometheus sequence was actually shot at Wadi Rum in Jordan. Wadi Rum is the location of Auda Abu Tayi's ((Anthony Quinn's character)) encampment and dinner banquet in LOA... Damn.. A. Quinn had some great lines in LOA!

Since Lawrence was sexually abused by the Bey of Deraa, I'm guessing the SJs are the Turks.

LoA was a hero of Weyland's and so he made David to look like him, his hair for instance. Here are links to a couple discussions we had here a few weeks ago, some interesting ideas were posted.
