    I really love the episode where they go “this is a weapon meant to intimidate” * blasts * “this is a weapon meant to kill” fire p90

      Such an iconic scene, but I never would have thought that when I first watched it for some reason.

          I actually liked the premise of the Ori because basically up to that point they were fighting people who claimed to be gods but were really just aliens with advanced technology, whereas with the Ori they were fighting beings that basically were gods so it was a whole lot harder to convince anyone to side with them. The biggest problem I had with it was that the show seemed to run out of money before they could properly tie everything up, a bit reminiscent of the final season of the Expanse (over which I am still very bitter, though at least it motivated me to read the books, which do satisfyingly tie everything up). In particular, in the episode

          where they kill all of the Ori by sending the bomb thing through the portal

          they have basically a huge dramatic victory that merited some kind of visually impressive spectacle and instead all that happened was basically that they just turned to each other and said, “Well, so I guess that means we succeeded. Yay.”

            I didn’t like the Ori arc at first and found those seasons hard to watch. On my rewatch though I found 9 and 10 much better than I remembered.

            HALLOWED ARE THE ORI

              They are much better than they should be. Black and Browder are good and the writers seem to have had done very excellence job basically writing a spin off.

                They’ve got some outstanding moments too. Rescuing carter after the battle of the supergate when she was EV is one of my favorite scenes in the series.

                Col Mitchell has a great line during that battle I think, ‘this is gonna be one of those days when one nuke isn’t enough’ lmfao…

                Vala at one point says ‘the last time I was this bored I took hostages’ etc.

                ‘You’re in the desert and come across a turtle on its back and you don’t help it. Why? Because I am a turtle too.’

                I didn’t mean to shamelessly throw quotes at you but there’s so much, plenty of magic in those seasons. Good way to ween yourself off SG-1 after binging eight seasons lol

      My favourite detail in that is when —i think it’s Jack— gets a bit lax with gun safety and waves his rifle at Sam, and she visibly flinches.

        That was richard dean anderson who was lax gun safety, and a very real reaction from amanda tapping if anyone cares

        My favorite detail, though I will admit that type of detail (and I think I’ve seen it a couple times) is fun: when people express hatred for Daniel.

        Fuck Daniel.
