Bsg Refrence to Sg1?

[adk06]

haha I was just watching "Black Market" and there a line in which someone says "It's aboard the promethus it's a fraitor that's off the grid" ok that just struck me as a refrence to Stargate
what are the odds they used to words that could be compared to stargate
promethus - Earth BattleCruier
Off the Grid - Upcoming Episode
did anyone else notice this

[Lady Snow]

No, I didn't notice that. If I thought anything upon learning the freighter's name, it was wow, I really like how they're dragging all sorts of mythology into this show...

[Agent_Dark]

Prometheus is actually a Greek god... It's not something Stargate came up with

And "off the grid" is a fairly common expression as well.

[AsgardCarnage]

yeah but if u add that to pegasus they are using a few SG1 names here

i know pegasus fits as the name of a batlestar but still there is other mythology out there to use, phenoix maybe?

It's a shame that Prommie won't be in that episode!

However they start writing & filming at around the exact same time, so therefore it's virtually impossible for them to know upcoming SG1 scripts. Unless they know people on the inside, of which case, then I'm sure they'd have chosen another ep to reference the Prommie to.

Prometheus isn't exclusive to Stargate.

'Off the grid': Just a coincidence.

The Pegasus is a Mercury Class Battlestar. In classic mythology Pegasus is a winged horse. Mercury was the messenger of the gods and was known to wear winged shoes. Thus my theory is that the Mercury Class Battlestars must therefore take their names from winged creatures, heroes, and gods of classic mythology. So it would not be an unusual coincidence that the name is in both series as both rely heavily on classic mythologies and legends.

Plus Pegasus was the name of the Battlestar from the episode "Living Legend" in the original Battlestar Galactica series from back in the seventies. Way before Stargate.The current series borrowed that idea from the original BSG series in bringing the Pegasus back.

Pegasus is from the original series long before Stargate was concieved.

If any cross show referencing has occurred, it was Daniel Jackson saying 'And they have a plan' in the 4th horseman pt2

Pegasus is from the original series long before Stargate was concieved.

Meanwhile, the Pegasus Galaxy of SGA is a real galaxy. Stargate and Galactica aren't referencing each other in any way, shape, or form.

I think, if you look for it, the name "Prometheus" appears in a lot of shows, whether in the actual show, or the title...its not really a tribute, but dare I say, common?

[Helo]

I was playing age of empires 3 recently and one of my ships was named the Daedalus and it said good at transport. Is that an SG-1 refrence, doubt it conicidence.

[foxhound22]

Also if you look into Star Trek, there is a Prometheus class and a Daedelus Class starship there. So when a show uses a mythological topic or character I think it is just a nod to the ancient cultures and legends that have survived for thousands of years.
