I loved this episode, it was just fucking funny as hell, and The Shep was in top form once again, which really ---

What's that? It hasn't aired yet? Strange ... :P

So.. the Orii have started their 'evangalization' already?

Well well well... I think someone's taking not-so-subtle potshots at Fundies right now.

I am very sorry to say this, if it has been covered before, but I am watching the new episode now, and I keep getting the altarans and the orii confused. Are they the same?

My current understanding:
Altarans are "our" ancients, the free-will guys who won't lift a finger even if it means all life in our galaxy gets wiped out.

The Orii are the alternate-galaxy version who like to be worshipped & such.

Altarans=Ancients=Angelic Beings by any other name, believing in mankind's Right to Free Will

Orii=What the Altarans/Ancients were before= ... Demonic? Believe in me or Die? Or maybe better to say Crusading Fundies of the worse sort.

I wanna see Vaala use some of those moves that worked so well on Daniel to beat up the Prior. *sigh*

I also believe Prior>Doci are names in the Catholic Church?

Also it's quite sorry to see that couple burned...

Looking foward to see what the Ori can do besides sending a bunch of Palpatine-fied preachers...XD

Not quite good as the beginning of the SG-1 series, but still willing to see how it goes.

Geeee... Power=hungry singular maniacs who've lost their main armies v/s evanglizing homogenizing swarm-object.
Or is that an agressive homogenizing swarm-object? After all, the Orii will kill those who don't accept enlightenment.

... then again the Goa'uld try to kill those who don't believe in them. Hrm..........


My money's on the Orii, unfortunately.

So now there are 4 major Galaxies in the SG universe - Ours (in our bubble), The Asgaurd Galaxy (which is now mostly dead replicators), the Wraith-Filled Galaxy on Atlantis (Was that the Andromeda Galaxy? I forget) and now the Ori's Galaxy.

We know the Ori have no presence in the other three, so that's at least a good thing.

I look forward to wha the Ori can do. As it reveals more about what the other Ascendants can do...

And makes me want to see SG-1 Tackle Lovecraftian Horrors in the next few seasons--or Fanfic, whichever comes first.
