Ridley Scott in NY times

Behind the Prometheus legend is the idea that “the gods want to limit their creations; they might want to dethrone God,” said Mr. Lindelof.....There is, for example, the robot David. “Hey, a bunch of humans seeking out their creator,” Mr. Lindelof explained. “David knows exactly who created him, and he is not impressed by his creator.” So we de-throned Engineers and now David wants to de-throne us? Should be better than original Startgate though! ))

Yes! The Hawking quote, i remember it well when he came out with it and always wondered if RS ever saw it and was influenced by it at all. Ahhh I can sleep at night now

Well, we know a little bit more about Guy Pearce now thanks to this article, although speculated already.... Unfortunately a lot of the facts are off in this article so it's hard to believe much from it except quotes from RS

@BigDave. Maybe one of the most wrenching punishments of all...the loss, sacrifice, or theft of innocence
