what happened with the Orion?
It was blown up several episodes ago.

Sadly no, the Ori ships flat out walk through everything in their way like they aren't even there, heh
I like the weapon design for the Ori ships. "Why have lots of smaller weapons when we can just have one gun, but make it the biggest gun ever?"

it actually bothered me a little that the ori ships were just upgraded versions of conventional weapons. i understand that doing something like having long distance scanners of the galaxy and the ability to destroy anything with the press of the button is overpowered (though a little more realistic seeing the extreme diffrences in tech/power/resources/etc), but that's pretty much a reason why the ori should have never existed as villians in the first place.
edit: Then again, I suppose with such an advantage in miltiary might, the only reason they'd need ships is to inspire awe and spread the word of their religion, which is what they are doing.
that said, after the 200th, i'm beginning to enjoy watching the show again. diadem fucked around with this message on 08-26-2006 at 10:54 AM.

basicly, the ori always bothered me as an enemy, simply becuase how far advanced they should be in the show.
the basis for this is how our own technology advanced.
I mean, look at people from the stonage.... or hell, even roman times. The romans were pretty damn impressive with technologicly, you have to admit. Ceaser's bridge and all that.
But what if we (americans with modern tech) wanted to wipe them out (the romans with their technology) and had no moral quams about how to do it? We could use satalite imagry to find them and eradicate them without setting foot in the area using long ranged weapons. And that's through a few thousand years of technological evolution. We even have flying machines and horseless carriges.
Regardless of the situation, the main point of this is that there is technology out today that people couldn't even fathom thousands of years ago. At the very least, our technology is based off of radicly diffrent concepts.
This is what I meant by upgraded modern weapons. You have a ship with shields that shoots stuff. This ship uses modern ideas (modern for the show) and takes them to extreme levels. The thing is, that's my problem with it. Fundimental concepts change as technologies become more advanced. The Ori have the knowldege of the universe, and can do basicly anything they want. But all they end up with is a more powerful ship with more powerful shields and more powerful guns.
So that's my problem with them. There are thousands of ways to explain away why they are doing what they are doing, but in the back of my mind, this idea will always be there. With all the buildup of ascension in the previous plotline, it is very difficult to suspend my disbelief when watching the ori plotline.
And for Scifi, it's suspending your disbelief is very important. diadem fucked around with this message on 08-26-2006 at 11:25 AM.
I'll just say this: Your logic is flawed.
There are plenty of reasons why the Ori tech is the way it is. It's quite obvious from your previous posts that you haven't even been paying attention to the show, so no wonder you feel like something is awry. The Orion was destroyed in the Season Premiere. Way to keep up.
The Ori have the knowledge of the universe. That is true. However, the Ori cannot set foot into our galaxy. The ships aren't ships for transporting the Ori, they're ships for transporting the followers of Origin. By the way, those that follow origin are not technilogically advanced. The Ori keep them ignorant on purpose, because it makes it easier for them to feed upon their worship.
The armies sent by the Ori must have a way of subjugating and death-dealing on this plane of existence, and maybe, just maybe, there is a maximum to what a normal human can achieve without ascension. A crazy notion, I know, but it might just be possible that a normal human would have to be in a space ship in order to travel through space. And the followers of Origin that the Ori have sent are by no means anywhere near ascension, so they can only use the tech that the Ori have given the knowledge of to the Priors. If you'll noice, Adria has what you seem to be looking for. But I guess we can't really expect you to notice considering you hardly even watch the show.

This is you
The answer is that the Ori want to duke it out with the Ascended, but they aren't as powerful yet. Their power depends on the number of followers, and our galaxy seems to have a much larger humanoid population than theirs. Plus, if the Ori asserted their power directly, the Ascended might block it.
2. The Ori aren't from Pegasus.
3. It sucks that SG-1 is getting cancelled, as this season has been much improved over last year.
4. The Atlantis Asurans are based on Ancient tech, which indicates that the android Reese may have been as well, explaining the similarities.
5. I don't exist. Gydyon fucked around with this message on 08-28-2006 at 09:47 PM.
