What I don't get is why the SG peeps think that saying "The Ori will KILL EVERYONE WHO DISOBEYS THEM. Seriously, these guys will murder your ENTIRE PLANET IF YOU DON'T WORSHIP THEM." is a good way to dissuade people from worshipping the Ori.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

If I only had a brain...
Hee! Well said.
"These people can kill you, resurrect you, and kill you AGAIN. But free will is really important."
Man, that's a sell speech.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Stargate (the movie) is on Spike right now.

I know! You'd think they would at least say, "Look, go with it for the time being. Find out what they want, and get back to us."
Isn't this the perfect opportunity for some undercover work? I mean, really.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
We're talking about Daniel here. That argument makes perfect sense to Daniel. Because he's crazy, yo.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
I have this selfish desire to hear Daniel say, "How do I know they're not gods? Because I was one, dammit, and look! Not a god!"
The whole thing seems ill-thought-out. The SGC doesn't seem to have a position prepared or any plan about what they do, so it ends up being the amassed might of the Ori versus four people's impassioned but lacking speeches. My money's on the Ori.

Well, SG-1 is in the credits, though. So they've got that going for them.

It could be a clever twist!

heee!
I actually read an LJ post today where someone was so happy about Daniel's speechifying in, um, Origin. I couldn't contain my laughter.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Read it. Busted a gut laughing, for reasons similar to 'Suela's, I think.
