The Tollan!???!?

[Omak]

The Nox did not share their technology with us as we were "very young" which was probably a nice way of saying primitive by comparison. The Tollan, being more advanced and able to prove it, would probably be able to demonstrate sufficient stargate knowledge. I think that the Nox would then step in and help.

I agree that there would be nothing left of Tollana after the Goa'uld attack, or we would have suffered already.

[Bogopimp]

yeah, they could give us some of them ion cannons for promethius. None of the other goald have the technology to defend against them. Anubis didnt share

I did a picture

[SGSlugger]

Nice picture.

We were gonna get them, but Anubis wiped them out before we could get the cannons. Installing them on the Promethous is an interesting idea.
Perhaps the Tollan knew that they were going to be destroyed at the end eventually, and so the pulled an Ancient and built a respository?

Couldn't we send that supped-up cargo ship that they used in the LCII?

The Tollan, being more advanced and able to prove it, would probably be able to demonstrate sufficient stargate knowledge. I think that the Nox would then step in and help.

But I don't see why there should be any assumption that they had external help. Yes, they might have got Gate tech from the Nox, but why? Their science goes well beyond anything we - and by we I mean Sam - can even understand; they had a Stargate to study for centuries. Why then is there any need for an assumption that they would have learned to make a Stargate from the Nox?

Just for starters, surely the Stargate was built before Tollana got in touch with the Nox, so that the Tollan who lived with the Nox could get to Tollana in the first place.

Actually, if you remember from Pretense, Narim noted that the Nox and the Tollans devised a way to get them to their planet and then they asked Narim about the stargate, and they said they built it, and thats when Daniel said: Way smarter than us" and Jack said: Ours is bigger.

[Bogopimp]

yeah, but they learned how to do it from the origonal gates tbh all the timelines in SG1 suck! the tollan are humans but are way more advanced than us because they didnt suffer the dark ages, a period of mere 800 years. The goald have had big intersteller ships for thousands of years but can get pwn'd by the tollan, until recently. The only decent bit really is the asgard, who seems to be really old, but have way good technology. There a pretty level race i tihnk, know what there on about do the asgard!

Maybe when the goald took the tollan, they stole all the sceintists and clever people, and left all the others to preach the bible (no offence meant )

[Andy867]

But you forget that the Tollans are not a war-like race. They havent been in a war for centuries, because of what happened back on their original planet. So because they aren't a military strategicly thinking race, they can't plan self-defense other than the few ION cannons on their planet. Once those are taken out, they have no defense.

Nope.

On the original home world "Tollan" their stargate was buried under tons of lava. SG-1 rescue the remaining Tollan just before the gate was covered. They then used a long range communication device to contact the Nox. Who then came thru SGC's gate and the Tollan went with them. That is the last you see of the Tollan until Pretense. In that episode, Daniel asked where their stargate came from since "Tollana" did not have one. Narim replies "we had a little help from the nox."

Which could mean anything. If you ask me the nox do have the technology and knowledge of the ancients. Did you see the floating city? Not to mention their mental abilities.

I've always enjoyed the episodes concerning the Tollan and since BTF left things pretty much open-ended (although tending towards the pessimistic side of things), I agree with others on this thread that it would be nice to see some more of them and perhaps resolve some issues.
