First details on SG-1's 'The Shroud' (SPOILERS)

Maybe Daniel tries to stop the Ori from the inside but they screw up his head to make him evil

Before

*holds breath*

After

*releases breath* Okay, of course it mars the face, and I wouldn't like that. But, it's not nearly as bad as I imagined it. I was thinking his entire face might have been messed up, warts or scales or something. I wouldn't like it if Daniel's face got messed up, but that's not as scary as I thought.

Maybe Daniel tries to stop the Ori from the inside but they screw up his head to make him evil

That's been speculated elsewhere. Only, why would Daniel think he can stop them from the inside? Wouldn't he think it might be too risky, that the possibility of them getting to him was something to consider? Although it may fit in with his idea in TFH1, when he said he wanted to try and turn a prior. The traditional just talk to one as himself didn't work. But, still, I'd think Daniel would consider that this might not work either and just make things worse.

I don't think MS would ever let them take the glasses away from Daniel! I don't remember where I read it, but didn't MS said in an interview that he was adamant that Daniel will always wear glasses? Well, I read something along that line sometime last year.. but the article could have been much older. Anyway, that sorta reassured me in that respect.

As to superhuman powers.. I hope not.. I mean, they already have Sam who has the ability to use naquada based technology.. and the writers realize it'd be such a cheap way out of a lot of situations that they only exploited that aspect a few times over 9 years. So I can't imagine them giving Daniel such a decided advantage over their current and future enemies. If they could, they'd have surely carried that over in season 7, after his ascension? What I would really like explored is if Daniel will ever conciously access the memory and -especially- knowledge he had as an ascended being. We saw what happened to Orlin, could something like that ever happen to Daniel? Would he make that sacrifice? (I'm pretty sure the answer would be yes.. he gave his life enough times without a second thought)

44 viewers...even greater measure of the contrasversy this is causing! - im hesitent about this whole issue...for one this, daniel being a prior means that the ori will know automaticly all about atlantis and the people/defence/plans of earth and all about the asgard...basicly everything that might be in the works to stop them!

Yes, but maybe this is how they put a twist to the whole Ancient weapon. If they found it and that was it, the story would be over. Not that I'd mind it in the least, but I know that's not happening. If the Ori find out about it before anyone gets a chance to find it or use it, maybe they'll be on the hunt for it as well to destroy it.

I wonder what's going to be going on with the rest of the team. Are they going to try and talk him out of it? Go back to the SGC before he spots them and discuss any options? Daniel doesn't even really seem "evil" here (I mean, he's not talking death or destruction) so I don't think he'll capture them, although it could be a possibility.

And, who would SG1 turn to to help them get Daniel back? They can't contact the Alterans.

*whimpers* I really hope he's back before the end of the season.

*snaps fingers* I've got it! Use Nirtiri's DNA resequencer to make him human again and undo the Priorification

[Prior_of_the_Ori]

*snaps fingers* I've got it! Use Nirtiri's DNA resequencer to make him human again and undo the Priorification

I think Dani meant that Daniel comes back without dying or being mutated just joking.

There were a few rare episodes where Daniel didnt wear glasses. That episode where he became addicted to the sarcophagus and the time he was Lord Yu's personal servant. But an entire episode from start to finish? hmmm

*snaps fingers* I've got it! Use Nirtiri's DNA resequencer to make him human again and undo the Priorification

Didn't Alebran's people or SG-1 destroy that thing?

[Mitchell82]

After reading both the positive and negative fan opinions I still hold my orriginal opinion and believe this could possibly be one of the best arcs ever! I am currious as to how this happens but this type of story is what proves they've still got it. I love the positive and negative aspects of this storyline. I believe the writers will play this to its full potential and I can't wait. This will be an excellent season!

The priors/ori are such craptastic villains, but maybe Daniel "going to the dark side," for whatever reason, will legitimize their lunacy. I'm reserving judgment for now, but my kneejerk reaction was "WTF?! Nooooo!"

:shudder: I'm just glad it wasn't Sam, because then I would've been wondering how long she was really evil before they decided to have her set herself on fire/blow herself up.

We'll see. If they make it an arc for the latter half of the season, based on the spoilers we've gotten, that will give them less than eight episodes to give depth to Daniel's issue (if he really HAS gone to the dark side, that is). Otherwise, it's going to seem characteristically rushed.

Ah well. Daniel rocks. If they can utilize his character properly during this "controversial arc," then more power to them. But if this is simply a way for them to maintain a four-man team for a while, while pushing an ultra-super-fix-it solution within two episodes (which would certainly explain why they let these spoilers out so early), then it's merely a waste of everyone's time, imo.

Might have meant the Anubis version since I think you are right that the 'mutants' said they would destroy the thing after they changed back. Been a while since i have seen it though.

[L.A. Doyle]

Sure, there can be some repercussions and all that, as long as he doesn't stay that way! Why anyone would want Daniel to stay a prior is....I just don't get it!

That one was indeed destroyed... but there is still the one on Khalek's planet!

I also am realy only looking forward to the afterwards. "Daniel pale and shaking afterwards, stunned and disgusted, thinking, 'What have I done'?" is also what I would love to see. I'm not going to enjoy him looking like that. I don't want him to evil forever, and be irrepairably damaged. SNIP

I just hope they learned/remember their lessons from Fallen and Homecoming! Everyone (that I've read about) agreed that the fallout/storyline from Daniel's descending was waaaaaay to rushed and should have been given more episodes. I for one felt really cheated with only the two epis and BAM he's back to normal.

[Taonas]

This is actually the first full spoiler report I've read of Season Ten (a title like "The Shroud" just sounded way too cool to pass up ), so I'm curious where in the season this falls in.

That said I'm not going to get too excited over this because TPTB seem to have an ability to make something sound REALLY good in advance but end up with poor execution. Though with all truth I must admit that deep down I'm jumping at the bit to be able to see this episode and I hope there is at least some lasting effect, preferably psychological over physiological (it tends to be more interesting that way).

Anyway, we shall all see how this unfolds when it airs. In the mean time read all spoilers with a grain of salt, though don't have sea salt (yes, my jokes are that bad).
