So many races, so little time!
Down through the years, there have been a variety of interesting races that I've felt there could have been more 'story' to. For the purpose of this experiment I'm going to go with...the...Tollan.
On the one hand, they did have that annoying "we are more technologically advanced and therefore sooooooooo superior" thing going, which of course led to their downfall. As it usually does.
However, even after the Goa'uld attack, I was always surprised that we never saw more of them. I assumed that - superior race that they were - they would have had a back-up evacuation-type plan. They were able to build Stargates, so surely that one in their capital wasn't the only one on the planet. Why didn't they have groups of dedicated scientists/military/families ready to get out of Dodge if their 'alliance' with the Goa'uld went horribly wrong?
I kept expecting us to run across a brave little colony attempting to rebuild Tollan society on some backwater planet. I was always disappointed that it never happened.
So - what race would you like to have seen a little more of, or did you think had potential that was never realised? And what about them did you think could have been used, what did you like about the race?
