Hello,
I'm kind of new here.. and it's probable that this has been discussed before.
I've been rewatching Stargate SG-1, and was wondering about the design of the ancient repository device that grabs O'Neill.
What is it supposed to depict? It has teeth like a Goa'uld symbiote, claws like some demon Unas, and some kind of scaly/reptilian look all over.
Why would the ancients make something so creepy looking to store all their knowledge? Especially since everything else they made looked quite different.
I mean, it looked kind of ominous. I wouldn't have stuck my head in that hoping that it belonged to a benevolent race (granted, O'Neill didn't have much choice). Had they said that it downloaded all the knowledge of the Wraiths I'd believe them.
Same thing for the "temple" structure where they find the second device. It's clearly a statue of some clawed monster figure, rather in the same spirit as the device itself.
Any thoughts on that? Or did they explain it at some point outside of the show?
Cheers!.=)
