Spike ,'Never Leave Me'
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.
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.
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.
We're talking about Daniel here. That argument makes perfect sense to Daniel. Because he's crazy, yo.
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.

Read it. Busted a gut laughing, for reasons similar to 'Suela's, I think.
Actually, I enjoyed Daniel's speechifying too. I didn't think it was terribly effective, but it was very old-school Daniel, and it was nice to see him again.
Well, okay, yeah, but she seemed to think it was convincing. Which was what made me laugh.
I think they might reasonably expect some success in convincing the Jaffa, since the latter just got through with the big "Our gods have lied to us and never really were gods at all! WE MUST OVERTHROW THEM AND BE FREE!!!1!" movement. Mind you, they'd be convincing them to talk smack to beings who can wipe out whole populations or destroy whole planets via a lone corporeal agent, so I don't think the resistance would fare as well as against the Go'auld.
I really don't see how the situation can end well for our heroes unless the Ori's stepped-up "worship or die" plan convinces the ascended Ancients to engage/counteract them en masse in Oma/Anubis fashion.
