Going through my SG-1 DVD's something occurred to me, do you think destroying the Ori ship in 'The Pegasus Project' happened too soon? What I mean is that these really powerful ships, the most powerful we've ever seen show up and only 3 episodes later we destroy one. In a way I think it harmed the Ori's image, the most powerful race we've ever faced and only a few episodes after they've got a foothold in our galaxy we're making them look like chumps. Don't get me wrong when watching it the first time it was cool to see and the blocking of the supergate was essential but to me the blowing up of the Ori ship wasn't needed and did more harm than good to the overall storyline.

No. I think it was cool to show it in the way it actually happened. If that makes sense. I mean, it didn't lessen the impact of it in Unending when they took out the first ship. I was actually cheering at that. In PP it was just a cool and surprising way to show we still had a chance if we played our cards right.sigpic

Well I guess it's that bad considering it took us 8 episodes after the first ha'tak was introduced to destroy one (or 2 really), it just came too soon for me, They only had 4 ships in the galaxy and one was taken out 3 eps after they're introduced. I would've liked it more to the middle of the season before one of them got taken out by any means.

Considering what we learned from Crusade, wasn't like we actually knocked them down a peg or two. Just destroyed one ship by elaborate and highly unlikely means.
Could one say it was too soon for us to destroy a Goa'uld Mothership (in any form) in Upgrades?

If anything had to take the first Ori ship out though... I'm glad it was the kawoosh from the supergate (I really enjoyed that epp, especially that scene)...
.... And I think the first Goa'uld mothership/s to be destroyed were in season 2 "The Serpent's Lair"...
