It's not actually true that in Stargate universe societies with wind power tech at most could traverse galaxies. The stargates operated in Milky Way with seven chevrons but needed external power source to use the 8th chevron to dial a gate in another galaxy. The power requirements were immense do dial other galaxies were immense, e.g. using a ZPM.

The best part of the Ori religion was that the various passages of the Book of Origin quoted by priors were usually, in some way, correct - the book was compiled by the Ori themselves, after all, and they must have realized that using fundamentally true things to justify untrue ones strengthens the faith considerably.

I adore the way the show demonstrates this. On multiple occasions, Daniel uses the Ori's own words against their priors. Talking about how the Ori preach goodness and temperance, all while the Priors act like tyraniccal torturers. It doesn't change their mind of course, but it hits so close to home where religious words written perhaps with the intention of doing good, are twisted and used to support evil acts.

I’d love to see more of the alteran split. I’ve always imagined they were a caste based society, ranked on progression towards ascension according to the teachings of the Holy Book: origin. Supreme were a priestly caste charged with guiding the evolution of their race. Below them were a caste of scientists and philosophers, their task was to discover and invent new technologies. Over time the scientists made discoveries that contradicted Origin. They presented their findings to their people... the Priests did not take it well. They condemned the scientists and turned all the other castes against them. Faced with war against their entire race the scientists chose exile and They became the ancients. Both races eventually ascended but with their superior understanding the ancients reached higher levels. The Ori couldn’t stand that, the idea there were things they might be wrong about was a direct attack on their beliefs. Lacking the power to win the Ori resorted to draining energy from lower beings to equal the ancients.

_Legend_ annoyed me because the first episode tried to sell the audience on how awesome the main characters were... by making all their superiors into complete morons. Which I didn't mind, until they told us that this wasn't the beginning of the war, it was just another engagement in a long, hard fought war. Which means the total incompetents _should_ have been dead or at least been moved somewhere they couldn't break anything. The story gets better, later, but that intro really rubs me the wrong way.

@@boobah5643 I see what you mean. However, I always thought the reason the FPA was able to put up a fight against the Galactic Empire was because of the incompetence from the Empire. Spoilers, but is no wonder that after Lohengram became the emperor and appointed actually competent admirals that you see the Empire make strides and actually win the war. I know they had to go through Pezzan to accomplish it, but the Empire always had the bigger army and more men. Makes sense that all the previous incompetent aristocrats could afford to throw them to the meat grinder.

I always liked that the Ori and their Origin religion was pretty much a Sci-Fi version of Puritan Colonialism. I remember watching the series and was like "okay they have done most of the ancient gods, and even some Sumerian demons that are 'the devil's' contemporary, are they going to risk the wrath of Christians and suggest Jesus and God were also Goa'uld or maybe Tok'ra?" and then they went in this much more suggestive arch to still do an Abrahamic-esc Religion and a pseudo Christ figure kind of enemy without ever directly mentioning Christianity as modern Western Society knows it as a comparison like they did with ancient pagan religions earlier on.

@@revanreborn2548 I could totally see that. The ties to Puritans was more in the human cultural parallels like daily Prostration, no other text besides the Origin Dogma, things like that to limit the humans and force worship. And the general Abrahamic parallels most of the casting system of Priors being like the choirs of Angels, and Adria kind of filling a Christ figure purpose for the Ori's cause. Ori couldn't go into our Galaxy due to an agreement with the Ancients so instead the impregnat Vala and send her back to our Galaxy to have Adria and "open the gate" to the Ori's fleet and domination to side step the agreement and bring our Galaxy into their fold.

@@CartoonHero1986 A lot of the parallels you drew to Puritans could also be drawn to Islam. Islam still has angels, Adria would more akin to Mohammed in my parallels. I will say that having read up on the Puritans I sometimes question if they were truly Christian, a lot of how they taught did not line up with the actual texts of the Bible. Thus I can see how you could still make those parallels as well as they often behaved more like Radical Islam in trying to convert people.

It would have been interesting if the Wraith had found out about the Ori Galaxy (or vice versa) and gone there thinking "yummy, lots of primative Humans to feed upon" and both sides got a rude suprise. And what if either group had been discovered just a few decades earlier by the System Lords. Or either group came up against the Replicators. Then there's that super advanced Human civilisation which had no knowledge of Stargates, that secretly uses dropping the birth rate to take over planets. They would have a interesting time as well with other factions as they were powerful enough to wipe out all Goa'uld quickly in a alternate timeline, while being very good at being duplicitous, they may have been able to play the Ori. Really, Stargate Command should have just stayed in the Milky Way Galaxy for a while and consolidated their victory. A century or two to stabilise things, get a galactic alliance going and incorporate all the new tech and make a advanced Earth (that knows the secret) the centre of a new 'Federation', as well as dealing with all the problem civilisations within the galaxy.

They did stay in the Milky Way. Adria basically prank called the Ori galaxy and Daniel talked too much during said call. You could maybe counter with Pegasus but that was just a few hundred people and none of the threats (at the time of 1st contact with the Ori) could get to the Milky Way (or even know where it was).

The Aschen used Stargates. They used 'em as mass transport to carry loot from the planets they dominated home; specifically we see them dumping a freighter's worth of grain through one. They figured out less than the Tau'ri did, however: they never figured out how to manually compensate for stellar drift and so were very limited in what gates they could open.

Am I the only one who gets Halo Covenant vibes with the Ori. I’ve never watched an episode of Stargate but just from this alone I see the resemblance. A religious almost cult like civilisation that worship the words of beings that lie in order to achieve higher power that ends up having a military used to fight in a war against humans and have weapons and tools that are far more technologically advanced. Dunno it just has that same vibe to it.
