my beef with the ori.

[renober]

the problem with having the ori as the bad guys is there is no one to fight. i mean i like seeing the team fight someone like the jaffa. hell they could even fight the replicators. the priors arent really an entertaining enemy. i really wish they would add some goons for the sg teams to fight. if this keeps up, we will see sg-1 using a fire hose on the ori in their city.

[BigGator5]

Oh, I don't think the Priors are the only thing that the Ori are going to throw at us...

[JUNIOR]

Spoilers below!!!!








Beware of spoilers!!!








You might just get your wish when it comes to Ori goons. I think I remember reading in the season ten section that in the season ten opener (currently titled Flesh and blood) they will have Ori warriors and an Ori space ship although I could be wrong.

there will be ori GIs in s10 finally.

[the fifth man]

Yep, we're going to have to face off against Ori warriors. Should be fun to see. SG-1 is just going to have to kick their as*** like they did the Jaffa long ago.

Hope your right!:

i hope so unless the ori enhanced them.

[JanusAncient]

I don't think this is going to come down to fight between sg-1 and Ori warriors, especially when the Ori themselves finally arrive.

[NakedJehutyV2]

the alterrans will take care of them hopefully

If it does one day eventually come down to that, it will definitely be something to see.

I actually had a thought this morning about why the Ori haven't made for a dazzling "Big bad".

They haven't personalized them. They are too generalized.

Farscape had Scorpius as the embodiment of the "Peacekeepers". In the Gou'ald days, Stargate personified their threat with a series of flamboyant system lords. Even BSG has given the Cylons specific personalities for us to become familiar with. A threat needs a "face".

With the Ori, we've only seen a series of expressionless, bland Priors and that one stiff played by Julian Sands.

The threat of the Ori is too general, amorphous, and lacks a personality to make for engaging television.

I think you're right. I need a villain I can love to hate. I like the IDEA of the Ori, but there's nothing there creep me out or focus my 'hate'. Like you say, Evil needs a face. Literally, in fact, because Anubis never really worked either - kind of hard to sneer wickedly when all you've got is an amorphous black blob to work with. What's the use of a Bad Guy/Girl who can't do Trademark Bad Guy Evil Sneer with style? There's a reason why villains have traditionally been great roles for really good actors.

Just you guys wait, I think your wishes are about to get answered.

I think so too. Ten they are giving us a living Ori

And that's going to be freaking sweet! Personalization problem taken care of.
