Hope the Ori are defeated in Season 10

the aschen for the ori...are u mad that is sooooooo not gonna work...we wuld be swapping ubber baddies for some second rate...well...farmers!!!

Uh, I think you're a little confused. The Aschen are not farmers. That was the people the Aschen "helped," when SG-1 encountered them in the new timeline. They were a civilization that was pretty urban and I'd guess around 1930's techwise, until the Aschen sterilized them with their disease cure-all and the planet had been reduced to a barely populated agrarian culture that basically supplied the Aschen's needs.

And the Ori don't impress me. They're nothing but their powers.

[PG15]

We shall see.

I suppose they might once the population is totally gone. But actually its the remaining natives that farm it. And their people have to eat.

Good point.

The Aschen were cool at the time. They're no longer anywhere near as powerful as Earth anymore, which is why the writers can't figure out how to reintroduce them.

Think about it: The reason they were interested in an alliance with us was to figure out how the gate worked; that's it. We had almost nothing else to trade with them at that point in time (hyperdrives, asgard/ancient technology, etc.).
We learned in the future history episode that once the Aschen got what they wanted, they were going to forcibly reduce Earth's population by ~90% via sterilization, and probably turn the place into a farm. Instead, we gave them a bunch of nasty addresses, starting with the black hole, and supposedly getting worse from there.

I recall reading in an interview with Brad Wright (I think?) where he was coming up with a third Aschen episode where they put Earth on trial for the destruction of their homeworld (Black hole ). So they and the other races of the galaxy would judge Earth, and somehow, in the end, Earth would win.

The reason why it was introduced as a "trial against humanity" plot is because the Aschen are weak now; they'd need help from other, more powerful species to harm Earth. They don't have hyperdrives and they don't have a database of gate addresses, which basically means they're no longer a serious threat.

Well, we could always bring in the Scarrans, Peacekeepers, Nebari? Or howsabout Klingons or Borg? No. Maybe the Empire. Maybe Emperor Ming and the warriors of Mongo. Maybe the Zerg or the bugs from Starship Troopers. What about the Skexies from Dark Crystal?!?!
No, I still the like the Ori.

[the fifth man]

I'm with you, Johnquixote. I like the Ori too. They have a lot of potential to be real bada****!

[Johnquixote]

I dono, ever since I thought about the Skexies idea I began to like it more and more. Oh Dark Crystal, what a great movie.

Definitely brings back memories. I haven't seen that movie in years.

[WraithWarrior]

The Ori are amazing enemies, I mean they are like the Gou'ald and the Ancients mixed with a little more evil added. I like the way they give their priors power to extend their domain, so to speak, and spread their evil.

And actually, we haven't even seen that much of the actual Ori, you know? As things progress in the show, I hope we see more of the Doci being possessed by the Ori. Actually hearing them, giving the Ori a voice. That way we can get an even better grasp of just how evil they really are.

[NakedJehutyV2]

i' guessing the ori will look alot like the ascended alterrans
