goofy cam is the bro, 'good' cam is the real thing
either that or someone keeps messing with his zoloft prescription
1) He's a goa'uld (Would explain a lot)
2) His Ori induced illness left him mentally retarded.Signed,

Originally posted by Skydiveryeah, i find the 'fighting the religious dogma' to be massively depressing.
you CAN'T fight an idea. With the goa'uld, you could show the masses evidence of thier evilness. enslavement, atrocities, being mean, etc.
what can you show them with the ori???? sore knees from praying too much?
It's a lose/lose situation.
Other consequences they ignored
Aris Boch
Yu's/Cronos' 'if yourun afoul of us, you will not be given a freebie' (whatever he said in fair game)
nirti's genetic experiments (given all the genetic illnesses we have NOONE tried to figure out her machine/????)
the foothold aliens
the aschen (even though they were about as boring as the ori)
ambassador shiny shoes
machello's toys being used as weapons
the reetou
the rogue sgc was wrapped up too neatly, imho. imagine having to deal with other humans out there being bad kids??
entity - imagine if the machines came back for revenge?
enemies/exodus - sam blows up a sun and no one cares?
the cure - the asgard clone, no one thought to suggest to the tok'ra cloning egeria?
the ziraken
the planet from memento. they totally altered the balance of power between the 'normal' folks and those that used to worship heru'ur
After all it is important to understand why people want to go to war with us, blow up our buildings and airplanes.
Stargate? no --straight from todays headlines with a sci-fi twist.
Personally--I really do not like my sci-fi to become the bully pulpit for the issues of the day.
Oh well *sigh*
How about "the boy" --all the knowledge of the goa'uld--perhaps the evil side got the better of him and he came back from the higher plane???
(maybe someone already brought him up and I cant remember what he was called??)
Are Oma and Anubus still locked in mortal combat?

Cam's inner Ori finds it very amusing to pretend to be a fool.

that's a large part of my issues with the ori
i already live in a world where folks want to kill me simply because i worship the wrong god or dress wrong or talk wrong or act wrong
i don't appreciate having that bit of reality pushed into my entertainment.
I already understand the extremist mindset. they're right, we're wrong, we should die. plain and simple.
There is nothing left to understand with the ori. They're religious extremists tat practice genocide in the name of religion. and coop is right in that, you CAN'T win. so if you can't win, what the hades are we doing portraying them on tv? if our heroes can't win, then why bother???? There's no goal for us to accomplish, it's impossible unless we turn a 180 and murder every single Ori and every one of htier followers
we Can't win, so why waste a whole season dealing with it????
unless he's trying to score some 'bold new move' points with some reviewer, the ori are stupic and they do nothing more than to bring home the sheer futility that all of us live in in a daily basis

I'm writing this here instead of the character threads, because I don't want to taint them. But there's a sticking point with me with RCC's interview, one among many. And that is the lack of talk about RDA's return.
I know Brad Wright has talked this up, but I'm wondering if RCC is as happy for him to return as BW is.
In my opinion Skiffy/Sony/Bridge needs RDA, more than RDA needs them.

i think they definitely do
they've always downplayed jsut what input/influence rda had, but seeing the tripe fest that was s9, i gotta wonder just how much of s1-8's success was rda's influence.
if you'll notice, - depending on your taste that is - the more he cut his time, the 'worse' the show got...on a general acceptance level

Well, I'm still voting for the "plant" theory...in that it would be much more interesting if Cam turned out to be working for evil instead of good. (Rather than him being, in actuality, a plant, although that might explain a lot, too.)

or maybe they've finally gotten to the root of the issue
*now wonders why we do not have an "If Cam were a PLANT Thread"*

Oh, wait - Ficus was a better conceived and written character than Cambo - being consistent, rooted, if you will, if nothing else. (couldn't help myself)
A round of good fertilizer for the writers seems to be in order - and not that fresh manure they've been piling on recently either.
