"It's so epic that all these actors from different shows have come together in Stargate." Yep Vancouver is a magical place :)

[@JamesFerminVideos]

Stargate has been so good at it's own growth. It gets darker as the stakes get higher, and seasons 9 & 10 being the darkest of SG-1 along with the two movies to wrap everything up.

[@Cyborous]

I know I wish Stargate Atlantis had the same opportunity. I could easily see it go this far, back in the day if it had the chance.

[@mahpell7173]

​@@darkstar3116Not the best wrap-up to be sure, but they had to make the final accord of some sort. It felt like they still hoped to continue at least for one season before someone pulled the money lever. At least they wrapped main series with two films.

Oh man, The Ori... As bad as the Gou'ld, Wraith and Replicators are, The Ori are just next level, and we haven't got to the meat 'n' potatoes episodes yet, oohwee!

[@failwhale34]

Soooooon!

[@MelanieAF]

I agree. As evil as the Gou’ld were, they look like cartoon villains next to the Ori and the Ori’s followers. The Replicators were just following their instinctive imperative, though that meant wiping out every other civilization. The Wraith are feeding and see humans as just cattle, though I would argue that they have also malice in their characteristics. The scenes where Sheppard is trying to gain Todd Wraith’s cooperation by appealing to his streak of spite, always make me laugh. And it’s a lot easier to oppose enemies who are in it for blatantly selfish ambition-you can play them against each other, bribe them, etc. When people are “true believers” in a cause, they will martyr themselves, etc rather than ever surrender their cause.

[@poochyenajones1362]

@@MelanieAF The Goa'uld were just posing as gods. The Ori on the other hand are the closest thing to actual godlike beings we've seen in SG. Contrary to popular belief a great villain doesn't need to be especially complicated to be interesting. Simply being a large enough threat to put our heroes in the most desperate situation possible to test if they can overcome it. I love the Ori exactly because they feel like the greatest threat our galaxy have seen.

[@MelanieAF]

The Ancients/Alterran's started in the galaxy where Daniel and Vala went, came to the milky way, suffered a plague, left Earth via Atlantis to go to Pegasus/current Atlantis galaxy, got almost wiped out by the wraith, and retreated back to Earth where the remaining Ancients died/ascended.

Vala's my favourite Claudia gives an awesome performance she is quirky, funny, smart, adventurous, and has a troubled past to go with it.

I'm excited to see more of your SGA reactions season 2 is full of great episodes. 🥰

[@dianayoder1285]

Just a bit of trivia. The new doctor was a main cast member on Andromeda. Both Chris Jackson and Michael Shanks guest starred on Andromeda

[@LudusAurea]

General Landry is Beau Bridges - Jeff Bridges brother (Iron Man, Big Lebowski) etc. He was a pretty big TV star back in the day, and for instance he was the dad on My Name is Earl. The stones are the same stones from Citizen Joe. They will pop up multiple times in the franchise, with far worse retcon and ridiculousness each time.

[@paulpenna5615]

So, there was a race of "humans" known as the Altarans. They split in to two factions. One became the Ancients and ascended, and created humanity on Earth, but vowed never to interfere. The other faction became the Ori, and created another race of humans in another galaxy (which we see here). They appear to have ascended, but they do interfere, requiring worship. While the Ori require worship like the Goa'uld, they are apparently ascended being, and ascended beings have powers which can actually be considered god-like.

[@ChibiHoshiDragon]

They aren't just god-"like" Most definitions of the word contain the "Creator" in it Since they DID IN FACT create the humans that worship them they ARE gods.

King Arthur lived in the 6th Century. The holographic knight is wearing armor from the 16th Century. We live in the 21st Century. Think about that: The knight is wearing armor a thousand years more advanced than it should be. We are only 500 years apart from that knight-- half as much time as that knight is removed from King Arthur!

[@MelanieAF]

That’s an interesting point which I never would’ve noticed, they’re usually better than that at preventing anachronisms, wonder how this one slipped by?

[@BogeyTheBear]

When the first promotional shots of Cameron against the knight came out, I assumed it was a mind game working on Cam's mental image of a medieval knight. I'm willing to try giving them a pass if the computer running the defenses in the cavern did a little mind-reading and updated the look of the hologram.

I'm pretty sure the stones don't communicate through time, but I could be wrong on that. I believe Daniel & Vala are at the same "time" but the planet their conscious went is just less developed than humans on Earth.

[@chrisfraser5088]

💯

[@failwhale34]

Hallowed are the Ori

[@MelanieAF]

That’s how I always saw it-time is contemporaneous, just a less technologically developed civilization. It makes sense that it would be less developed under the Ori followers.

[@tempusspiritus]

Yeah, it’s noticeable through various glimpses at other villages in future episodes as well as the same village priest they meet becoming a Prior and traveling to the Milky Way that it doesn’t involve time travel rather just the weirdest long distance call ever.

[@lorismith1722]

I was hoping someone else had commented on that. The stones aren’t time travel capable. Especially considering that when Vala lives in the Ori galaxy, it’s the same culture, clothing, architecture, etc.

[@10thdoctor15]

This is the Ancients'/Alterans' home galaxy, they came to the Milky Way and settled on Dakara, and later Earth. As far as we know, none of them went home after leaving Atlantis.

[@j.rileyindependentproductions]

It seems like you missed what Daniel said in the cave, and I will explain the overarching history of the Ancients as one would know it up to this point in the series. The Ancients (called then the Alterans) came from the galaxy that Daniel and Vala are currently communicating with. They left that galaxy, for reasons, and eventually found our galaxy, where they then created Stargates and seeded the galaxy with them.Their civilization grew and they allied themselves with the Nox, Furlings, and the Asgard (note, that as the Asgard are from another galaxy and we have yet to meet the Furlings, they too could possibly come from another galaxy). Eventually, there was a plague that spread throughout the galaxy. To escape the plague as it first began, Atlantis was launched and traveled to Pegasus. This is why the technology of Atlantis (which I'm certain changed and was updated over the course of at minimum several thousands of years) looks different and developed on a different path than the technology of the Ancients who remained. The plague likely took hundreds of years to nearly finish off the Ancients. The few Ancients who survived and did not ascend, tried to create a time machine to prevent the plague but it only created timeloops. Others created the device on Dakura to recreate life after the plague, implying this is why humanity evolved along the same lines as them. Those particular Ancients could have also died off from the plague themselves, leaving no more non-ascended Ancients in our galaxy, but having seeded the next evolution so that at least something would remain of them. Many thousands of years later, the Ancients from Atlantis, escaping the Wriath, returned to an Earth they'd only heard about as their ancestors left at least thousands of years prior. Some seeding the beginnings of civilization among humanity (Builders of Roads), and some even settling down with humans (hence the gene). Others left Earth to parts unknown, while even more ascended. After a generation or two, the non-ascended Ancients were all gone. With them gone, the Goa'uld found little resistance as they parasitically took over our galaxy.

[@j.rileyindependentproductions]

@@darkstar3116 Dude, Spoilers. Granted I realize he's likely already past this in recording (as the next episode touches on the spoiler you referenced) but still, some people may be following the series for the first time with him. But to answer your question in a generalized sense, there were already people there. They aren't humans, they are what existed of Alterans who were not part of the group that left or [spoiler]. This is specifically referenced in [spoiler].

[@j.rileyindependentproductions]

@failwhale34, I appreciate the like, and hope you don't take my comment as criticizing you missing that throwaway line of Daniel's. It took me several replays of both series over the years to fully grasp all the backstory for the Ancients. There's so much information that it's easy to not put together or to do so in a different order.

[@ChibiHoshiDragon]

@@darkstar3116 You are making one mistake, they are NOT finding evidence of THEMSELVES. Only evidence the Ori had a physical form before Ascension. Therefore it doesn't contradict anything. Like finding the Ancient Outpost in Antarctica is NOT evidence that we mere humans existed before the Alterans created us.

[@Bearjamin-Cowen]

in a nutshell: Ancients = angels Ori = demons

I loved the new Ori threat & only wish we got a few more seasons with them before the show was sadly cancelled. The final 2 seasons contain some of the most creative plots from the series IMO.

[@jameskeller1910]

'Isn't this just the Goa'uld again' Yeah, that was a major criticism of the final seasons. How the writers just recycled the original conflict again. But the new characters and use of Arturian mythology make up for that.

[@randallwong7196]

It's possible they used the same stone village for many episodes.

[@EvHervey]

[@lorismith1722]

Compared to the Ori, the Gou’ald are tame. And if you think the tv show cross over are awesome. Wait until “Camelot”. You’ll see an actor from Lord of the Rings.

[@shadowphoenix1696]

Yes the Ori are pretty much the Goa'uld on steroids. To be fair to the creators, they never planned to get this far considering they were under constant threat of cancellation over the last few seasons so didnt really plan for a new big bad. So this is a little slap dash. But S10 does iron it out more. And while i dont think the Ori arc is strong, i did enjoy it. Again the character work more than makes up for any of the weaknesses of the show.

I'm not fan of the new bad guys post the Goa'uld era albeit way better than antagonists in Atlantis. The issue is there was a certain level of levity when dealing with Goa'ulds and Jaffa, because they are just not far from regular advanced humans. It becomes more philosophical conflict.

Didn’t really care for the Ori, probably because I didn’t much care for the ancients to begin with either as a concept, the whole “now there are literal gods” in a series that felt grounded in sci-fi rather than fantasy, granted they grew on me but the introductory episodes for either weren’t exactly favorites of mine.

I fathom that magic in this case is just technology or knowledge we haven’t yet discovered. It’s like, why wouldn’t we be able to leave our bodies and exist as energy… whatever consciousness is it has an impact…so why wouldn’t more evolved beings be able to draw power from belief? take the double slit experiment where I think photons react differently when being observed…the stones and the machine transferring their consciousnesses could use quantum entanglement to move their minds instantly to this other place… so magic is just science we don’t understand yet.
