What did Oma actually do to Anubis?

[swifty]

I'v just been talking to a mate at school and I was unsure about what did Oma actually do to Anubis at the end of season eight.

[the Fifth Race]

I think she put herself into an un-winnable struggle (for both Anubis and herself) so that both her and Anubis would be able to anything else other than deal with each other. Oma did this knowing it would basically end any kind of existance for herself other than keeping Anubis at bay. I believe she knew she could do this all along but avoided it hoping that Anubis might change his evil ways and that she could continue to help those who she deemed worth of ascending. When she realized that Anubis was planning on destroying the surrounding galaxies to "start over" and was'nt gonna get any help from fellow ascended beings, she had to take this step to make sure billions were'nt killed and the evil Anubis was'nt able to go through with his apocoliptic plans.

She merged their energies, it appeared. She's fighting him and all he can do is fight her back. Kind of vague, I know...but that's all I've got.

Anyone else able to shed more light on the matter?

[Ancient 1]

As stated above, I too believe they are locked in an eternal struggle....as ever it will be between the forces of good and evil. (Too cliche'?)

[PugGate]

It sounds like they are locked in an internal struggle, but that doesn't make sense because it's pretty much a half-ascended Goa'uld VS. a fully ascended Ancient. So Oma should be more powerful, right?

[KorbenDirewolf]

I guess she should be.. but I'm wondering if the Others are involved with it.

[Qasim]

Either they are locked in an eternal stuggle which can only be resolved when the others step in or they cancelled each other out.

The impression I got was that Oma couldn't/wasn't allowed to destroy Anubis (the others wouldn't let her), so she did the only thing she could to stop him, she pulled him into a battle that he couldn't win to keep him busy...for a very, very long time.
She didn't do this originally, because it meant that she would not be able to interact with the mortal realm while fighting. She didn't want to give up the ablility to "meddle". But in the end Oma realized that she had created the problem and she had to fix it.
And I wonder if that was what the others wanted her to realize all along- that messing with mortals can create problems and when you create a problem, sometimes you have to sacrifice to fix it.
Just a thought.

No. In my opinion, this is the only way for her to pay for the mistake she made,(or rule she broke), by helping others ascend. It is hers alone to do.

[shinyredpants]

oma is making anubis sit through nonstop recordings of kinsey singing the entire scores of cats, rent, and les miserables.

oh and evita.

I totally agree.. I think the others wanted Oma to realise the gravity of her mistake, and she probably could have destroyed Anubis, but would have incurred the others wrath in doing so. The only choice left for her was one that she was unwilling to make, or didn't see until Daniel forced her to see... was to forgo an unwinable battle by keeping Anubis occupied so that he couldn't cause his mischiefs.

I wouldn't be surprised if both Oma and Anubis still exist in some form on the higher planes, locked in this state where all Anubis can do is respond back to Oma's attacks.

while the writers said anubis and replicaters have been dealt with they didn't say there's no more replis in another galaxy. anusbis and oma are in eternal struggle. ya think daniel was gonna do the same in season 6 finale? tho if they want to they'll prolly bring him back

oh, yeah, I fergot about that

[Lady Bastet]

"Half Ascended" was a term used to describe his appearence in Season 6 which suggested he had failed to Ascend.

However the fact he retained a pressence in the higher plains of existance (Jim) suggests he was at full power, only bound by the rules.
