i was just checking on the greek god story of prometheus on wiki and i checked the modern references section and read this...ive highlighted the important stuff In the science fiction TV Series Stargate_SG-1, the [b]Prometheus[/b] is human kind's first interstellar space craft -made possible with [b]technology stolen[/b] from the Goa'uld, a [b]parasitic race[/b] that enslaves humanity throughout the galaxy by [b]posing as gods.[/b] now...that sounds pretty similar there...

To be fair, it would have similarities if they are taking an inspiration from the same source material to spin their Sci-Fi escapades around, ie: Prometheus [Legend]... Their interpretation does sound painfully literal, 'though - what was their version of the technology called, "[b]Fire[/b]tronic Drive"?

Well, Stargate was very much taken from "Ancient Alien" theory and it appears Prometheus is too so there is bound to be some similarities.

the Prometheus in stargate is an amalgam of Human, Goa'uld and Asgard tech whereas the ship in Prometheus seems to be all us baby. The Goa'uld discovered the human race and saw in us a biology they could repair easily to promote extremely long life and with this ruled over us as gods in human form (by taking over our bodies ). The info thus far from this movie suggests something much more profound in that we were made or engineered by the gods from the outset. Additionally my feeling is that rather than a body to inhabit as in the Goa'uld the SJs or gods see us more as raw materials to be re-tasked. Also there seems to be a twisted / freaky sexual element to it all whereas the Goa'uld modus operandi was more of an enslave the humans so we can live in luxury kind of thing. I think also that most Sci Fi nowadays tips its hat to Alien in some way or another its a very important movie.
