Yah, i know, those races are just the nicest, wow i sound like a Brady Bunch kid...

[Anubis]

Aren't they just. I like the one that was willing to trade everything for heavy water. That was great

[Torley]

Whatever happened to Daniel's allergies and sneezing? Did that ever come up again after the early episodes?

[Elwe Singollo]

Yah, i was wondering where those went!

[Anubis]

Funny you shoul mention this. They've never shown again since Children of the Gods

[Elwe Singollo]

Maybe it would have been an annoying thing to continue, i for one wouldn't want to see Daniel sneeze in every episode...

[Mr Prophet]

Doc Fraiser, a fellow sufferer, proscribed him ungodly doses of antihistamines. Who knows, maybe they also found a new and better antihistamine on one of their early missions.

[Elwe Singollo]

Maybe... If they did, its sad it didn't get a mention.

...and I'd better not see Apophis again...

How can you say that?

[Elwe Singollo]

Whats wrong with seeing Apophis again? Haha...

[Anthro Girl]

Sorry - that was a much shorter post in my head...

Hate it when that happens.

I agree with you...we don't need to see the Furlings. I always figure we did "see" them in Paradise Lost and they're gone. Or maybe they're off doing something more interesting than messing with Goa'uld and silly humans. After giving them a name like the "Furlings", I doubt the image would hold up to our imaginations anyway, so they're better off left alone.

Actually they were mentioned again in Broca Divide. His medication was the reason he didn't change at first. Which led to the cure.

I am personally glad they haven't mentioned the Furlings, and hope they don't. I read people complaining about them being introduced with no intention to be used, but in reality i doubt they had a plan for any of the races in the beginning, then developed the as they went along. The fact that one race isn't seen makes sense since the Asgard and Ancients reside in another galaxy, it's likely the Furlings do too. I wouldn't be surprised if the alliance of 4 races was an alliance of the most powerful races of all 4 galaxies, and while the Ancients and Asgard, and possibly the Furlings came in to conflict with other races, the Nox decided to avoid that fate and hide away from conflict.

I wouldn't mind the Atlantis team finding out more about the Furlings though, perhaps leading to another spin-off about a team going to a different galaxy to study Furling technology and things, that could have a totally different feel to SG-1 and Atlantis, and although could be classed as similar in concept to Atlantis, i would probably say it would be more of an SG-1 crossed with Atlantis feel, with there being an SGC based in this other galaxy.

Perhaps this will never happen, but I like how lots and lots of Furling technology and information has not been featured in loads of episodes, as our galaxy is not the centre of everything, unlike how Earth IS the centre of the Ghould(no idea on spelling) culture, which is why they are the central element of SG-1.

I also don't mind a number of things fromt he past not being mentioned. Wile some do have merit I find it easier to assume they have been contacted, simply not in an episode since nothing imortant has happened. I'm sure Daniel has visited his grandfather who is probably emersed in studying the culture of the planet, however, since it has no relation to anything else going on, it isn't mentioned.

The next spin off needs to be completely different, but not forget the Stargate beginning.

Personally I like the Jaffa Rebellion, but that seems to be more of a mini series or a set of TV movies over years than a show idea.

Thanks for the info bcmilco
