While i'm not sure I trust tptb to pull something so riveting and incredible off, what if the ancients really don't help us out that much with the Ori, and we must work to recreate the Alliance of Five Great Races to try to defend our Galaxy? Perhaps, for instance, the Ancients help only to the point where they cut off the supergate and access to our galaxy (after a bunch more ships get through, for a good story). The Asgard and Earth then decide that we must attempt to ally with the other races (Nox, Tollan, Jaffa, etc etc etc) and work to construct a new alliance. A united front, if you will. Not likely, of course, but think about it.
Imagine the strengths brought to the table by the extremely varied races...
The Asgard's science and weapons tech.
The Nox ability to heal and their amazing cloaks (could certainly help a fleet of ships out) - and the healing could certainly be an asset to help with any plagues or 'miracles' the priors bring to try to convert masses. After all, perhaps the Nox are more advanced than Priors - they have been around since the times of the ancients and while not ascended, are quite advanced. They also have a rather unique philosophical/ideological view on the universe that sharply contrasts with Origen.
The furlings, we think, may have incredibly powerful and advanced transportation tech. Perhaps it's good enough to beam through ori shields? Or maybe beam entire ships into, say, a star?
The Jaffa are warriors with great numbers and lots of ships. Certainly handy to have on the ground...If it comes to it, I trust they can effectively clash with large amounts of zealots on the ground. Also, they have huge amounts of ships with, at the very least, hyperdrive - they could certainly move troops to non gated planets easily.
The Tollan have some interesting antimatter weapons last we saw, as well as the phase-shifting (walk through solid matter)...that could certainly help in ground battles. While their civilization may be dead, it's possible others have survived and are rebuilding. They could make for interesting allies.
The Tok'ra are seasoned spies and saboteurs. Perhaps they can pretend to be followers. Possibly assist in the resistance with their centuries of expertise. Intel could be invaluable.
Earth, well, is Earth. We have our advantages, creativity, heroism. We're probably the one group that can help bring everyone to the table. While it wouldn't be easy and we certainly don't have much time, our Galaxy may be able to truly put up a fight. We are extremely well rounded, adaptable, and resourceful.
I suppose I don't see fans wanting a quick way to deal with this invasion. Part of me wants a somewhat drawn out war, with no quick resolution. I want ups and downs, failures and dismay, small victories. Wouldn't it be great if we could have that feeling we had when the Gould were big bads that could wipe us out if they wanted? When it would be IMPOSSIBLE to deal with all of them? Imagine the same on a massive scale.
The whole fith race idea got me quite excited, made me feel like Earth had a destiny. While we are moving closer to it, maybe we should be reminded of that old mythology. Oh, and maybe we should remember we are in a diverse galaxy that is still reasonably unexplored with a crazy history...
It would be hard to write, but what do you think? Good idea to bring some things full circle, and use some of SG-1's history to build the storyline a bit?
Comments? New ideas? Am I just coming up with stupid fantasies?
