Icon - Pre-eps talk SPOILERS

[shockwave]

"New Ground" was a late season 3 episode that introduced a character named Nyan, that at the end of the ep became Daniel's assistant, and was never heard off again. On his homeworld, there was a war between the "Optricians" and the "Betrosians" (or something like that). One race (Nyan's race) thought that they were made by the God Nefertum (one of Ra's underlords), while the other race thought they were originally slaves of Nefertum.

Yeah, but that's not a two parter as "the dancer of spaz" said.

Maybe spaz meant "New Order" not "New Ground" It makes sense.

So, remember Dr. Beckett returns from Atlantis with a device that makes everyone in the SGC worship Daniel, except those with the Ancient gene

If I recall correctly, WW-I began with an assisination of the Hungarian prince
So Daniel would have to shoot somebody of Royal blood.

Very very long books have been writen about why WWI started. The assassination of the Austro-Hungarian Archduke was only a match in a tinder box. One of the very early inventors of the machine gun was told by a friend that he should get out of the electricity buisness because "if you give the Europeans something to slit each other's throats with you'll make a ton of money."

Seems like a lot of people worship Daniel anyway.

Gee, does this mean I have the Ancient gene??

Ep is OK so far. Don't think it'll go down as one of the greatest eps ever and I do get a strong sense of deja vu, but it could be worse... And if this Leda/Daniel stuff gets any heavier, the "worse" will be realized.

Liked the opening bit with the tourists. hehe

Please continue all post-episode conversation there! We'll leave this thread open for those who haven't seen the ep yet.

Hi

This is largely for pre-eps talk rather that post-eps discussion. I know it can be a bit confusing.

Maybe you can move your comments to the post-eps thread and add it to the ones there?
