Title: SG1's new direction (spoilers)
Post by: Martinus on July 30, 2005, 09:34:15 pm
[color=66ff00]For all those who're up to date with SG1, what do you make of the new enemy?

Positives include the possibility to examine religious extremeism, tolerance of other religions and the effects of trying to undermine religions.

Negatives include mishandling or ignoring the above.

Interesting ground methinks.

Blessed be the Aurii, those who resist enlightenment shall be destroyed.

Maybe it's just that I've been reading too much stuff on Battlefleet Gothic lately, but I'm having vision of the Imperium...

If it was the imperium, it'd be "those who resist enlightenment shall be destroyed by the emperor's divine fury! (and all our nifty greebles)" ;)

Uhm. They should keep Vala. The Ori are cool, although I didn't quite get the feeling it'd be easy to justify counter-attacking them from the ep. Sure they're pretty opressive, but isn't the 'religion' true?

They should do an Anubis vs. Ori ep.

no that would be the wraith of atlantis, the unnesisaraly new bad guy who for some unspecafied and nonsisacle reason need to eat humans, who are populateing an entier galixy the goa'uld never knew exsisted. that was introduced to make sure there was absolutely no resemblence to SG1.
though it may be posable that this could bridge the two.

Oh, got it. Not Atlantis. Good.

I always thought the Vampires were dumb anyway.

I really dig these guys. I also know why Daniel is afraid - Because despite everything that has come before, there has always been power or technology behind it. The Gou'ald just wanted power and to be worshipped, and used technology to enforce this. The Aurii, however, are pretty much brainwashing everyone - But the thing is, it's true. The religion is true, as any other. At least to them. And people will buy that. That and, the ancients are pretty powerful. AFAIK the ancients don't involve themselves directly, but these "Priors" are obviously enhanced / half-ascended as a reward for their loyalty and good work.

Hallowed are the Aurii. I think I was saying that in my sleep. :P

As for the Wraith. Well, Stargate: The Wraith Slayer is ok for the moment. :P


Oh and BSG "Fragged" was awesome!

It is Ori for Origin's sake. Burn blasphemer.

I'm really looking foward to this season, the Doci of the Ori made reference to ships and armies being built to fight the nonbelievers, could be very exiting. And maybe we'll get to seem sort of battle between the Ori and the Ancients on the higher plane

it disturbs me that they indend to have sg-1 fight half ascended ancients in just one season, when it took them several to defeat the goa'uld. its odd that the seemingly weakest enemy was the hardest to defeat.

well that's because we were learning how to fight with the goauld, it started with us haveing nothing, now we are getting ourselves a fleet of bigass battleships, we have a solid military alliance with the Asgard, and we have the city of the anchents Atlantis, and maybe Avalon, I know /*rest of post is spoilers*/ that were going to find an anchent battleship at somepoint, aswell as some weapons that Anubis was makeing to directly fight the anchents

Spoiler:
Apparently were to find out in Season 2 of Atlantis that those bugs we saw early in Season 1 and human DNA somehow were merged because of something the Ancients did.  So we see why they still have many human qualities but also totally alien ones.  Not a bad way to explain it...

and who said that the ori are a one season enemy. if it works out and ratings stay strong with the new cast in place, there could very well be a few more seasons in the old girl

Yeah, the second I saw that episode I was thinking: the Ancients probably saw that those critter were hardy and pretty much immortal so decided to experiment with that as a method of extending their lifespan. The end result being the Wraith who now hate the Ancients who created them.

We already found that out in the first season. I think in the time-travel episode.

As for the Ori, they strike me as ripped off from DS9's Pah Wraiths (the evil versions of the "ascended" wormhole aliens)-- complete with red-eyed possessed Gul Dukat clone.

Frankly though, I'm so fed up with real-world religious zealots that I only want to see them on SG-1 if they're being dropped into chipper-shredders.

I've only seen the first 3 episodes thanks to a VHS tape...the rest of the season is not available to me until November when the DVD comes out.
