The Nox (107)

[ngewakl]

What a wonderful episode. The Nox are the best. I really like this episode. I saw an episode of star trek kind of like this but this is a way better interpretation. Powerful race, absolute pacifists. Lot's of memorable lines in this one. I will leave you with this:

ANTEAUS: "Our ways have served us for as long as our people have lived."
O'NEILL: "But they didn't know you existed before. Once they know they will enslave you."
ANTEAUS: "We are slaves to no one."

Fort Nox gets an absolutely new meaning in this episode. A great one! Too bad Apophis got remote-cloaked just in the best moment. But then he'd have died too easily. And seeing Quark in this hot hairstyle ... a must-see!

We all have been discussing what happens if Apophis/Anubis/Ori/Big green monsters pick on the Nox, but I've just got another idea. Goa'uld could be crazy now and then, but who said they're dumb? Thanks to SG-1, Apophis learns of the Nox and I doubt he's unable to add two and two and figure out that they could do more tricks than just hide and seek games. Suppose his memories stay intact because the Nox are pretty sure that even if they're jumped by the snakeheads, they can just avoid them easily, so they do not care or it ain't in their way or something. But then let's also consider the fact that more than violent, the Goa'ulds are power hungry. Anubis even managed to ascend to harvest some more knowledge and power. I sincerly doubt that Apophis has no idea about what happened back then. So, if I were Apophis, my first notion would of course be to knock the twighaired people dead, but after a bit of thinking I'd rather try to capture one alive and squirm into his brain, looking for some of those neat tricks I saw. Now imagine what would happen if the experience gained from the millions of years of evolution and advancement of one of the Great Races gets into the Goa'uld hands after one or two of the Nox get possessed?

Suppose his [Apophis'] memories stay intact because the Nox are pretty sure that even if they're jumped by the snakeheads, they can just avoid them easily...

Why wouldn't they stay intact?

I read here there that many people assume that the Nox erased his memories whatsoever.

I would love to know what that device anubis used (on thor and daniel) would do if HE managed to grab a nox.

[Vagabond Serpent]

Something terrible I'd guess...

[garhkal]

But i was wondering would it give him knowledge on how the Nox do their healing/raising people from the dead? Would it allow Anubis to have done the same?

[Vagabond Serpent]

I believe it could... Cause he still was a Goa'uld and they can scan host's brain for all the knowledge needed.

He used it on Jonas Quinn, too.

This is so frustrating! The pacifist nature of the Nox drives me nuts. Even after being told about the Goauld's aggressiveness they didn't appear concerned. I'm very glad it ended well though.

The Nox are by far the fluffiest, most cutest race ever invented in the world of Stargate. Who wouldn't have taken Nefreyu home...

It's rather amusing how the secretary wants others to share technology that he would not share himself. They obviously do not live by the same rules, so it's refreshing to see that the Nox teach them that the young do not always do as they are told, and that patience is a true virtue. You need to learn first, before you can obtain.

And you just know the moment they decide to switch from chasing the fenri to chasing Apophis, the team's in for some trouble.

I really like the colors of this episode, rich green of Vancouver forests. The humidity gives it an extra feel of pure nature. I also really like the setdressing of the Nox huts.

If I could do what they do I don't think I wouldn't be so concerned either... They can hide well, bring things back to life etc... I think the only danger to them IS the fact they're so self-assured...

Not sure if anyone knows this, but why was this moved to episode 12 on the DVD set?
