It didn't work so well for me.
Obviously the Ori weren't all knowing or dissidents wouldn't have survived very long. So the question remains...
And if they didn't know about us until Daniel and Vala clued them in, they obviously didn't miss us.
All in all... I never bought it. Literally.

Originally posted by Alder View PostHeh...that, right there, is one of the things that bugged me about the Ori. I really didn't get what they were about at all. Also, having an invisible enemy was...annoying. Or maybe we'd just been spoilt with the "AAAAAAAAAAAH! GLOWING EYES!!! BAD GUY!!!" of previous years...
It's odd b/c the prior plague should have been mega jeopardy, but I just couldn't get worked up--except a bit when it looked like Hammond was in danger.

I just had trouble buying into the concept that someone's belief can be converted into power sent to someone else, with no apparent physical harm to the believers. Energy like that can't just be created, it has to come from somewhere.

Boredom. Oops. Didn't help much, did it?
I didn't bother. It's not good for the blood pressure. I think I was watching Made of Honor. <<grits teeth>> reminds self why she doesn't watch romantic fluff more then once a year <<headdesk>>
I'm so glad the S9/S10 storylines were wrapped up. Now all they need is to be sent to the deepest trench in the ocean.
