Dont forget these people were creating things for the Snakes for a LONG time.
Anyway, there is no way that any of them would have the depth of understanding of the dialect of the Ancients to figure out how to configure the Dakara weapon. Remember Jacob(Selmac) and Sam only figured out the writings because of Daniels translations.

Perhaps in the intervening time they have figured out how to reprogram it on a basic level.
[spoiler]They only use the weapon to target planets that have capitulated to the Ori to kill the humans there. All they would need to do would be to learn to control the targeting to limit it to the one planet and have it set to kill humans and jaffa.[/spoil]
If it is the Dakara weapon, I wonder if we will destroy it ourselves if the ori don't (though I bet they do).

being that they probably didnt want to see it go, and you know how politics are they probably put on the back burner it probably came to notice in geraks time and if he was a prior when it was suppposedly destroyed he probably concealed it and entrusted few people ot its existance.Their white flags are no match to our guns!!

That's what I'm thinking is that somebody with power said, "yeah, we destroyed it," while keeping it a secret from almost everyone so that Teal'c and Bra'tac thought it was gone. After all if they had known they would not have kept it a secret from us. So they obviously had to have been mislead as well. It really sounds like something our military would do, really. LOL.
Seriously, though, if it survives the episode, does anyone think that there will be repercussions such as the tauri sending a ship to destroy it (ala ethon) without warning. With our shields and nuclear capabilities, I think we could pull off such a strike if we attack as soon as we drop out of hyperspace. This is assuming that T and B don't take care of it themselves when they find out.
Of course I think it's likely the Ori will find out about it and destroy it anyways, making this a moot point.

Okay. Threads, Season 8. The entire premise of the episode was about the ancient weapon, how Anubis wanted to use it to basically kill everyone off, and how the Jaffa finally realize that they need to destroy the weapon. I even remember Bra'tac saying that the weapon would be destroyed.
What I don't understand, however, is how this weapon is still, well....active? I mean, in Insiders, Ba'al claims that his grand plan was to take control of the Jaffa High Council in order to use the said "destroyed" weapon. Then, in the preview for Counterstrike we saw last night, there is a small clip of the weapon firing. I don't understand. Was the weapon destroyed or wasn't it? ......It kinda makes a difference.
Plot hole?

How about you destroy your nukes and I will destroy mine while we make more and not talk about it. See the irony.*Post in Peace, Yah or Nah*
*Go to Sokar you Cylon fracker*
*I can't spell vary good, but I can read mis- spelled words vary good*
*And then the Ori said, "if your thread is dead then let their be a new one"*
*It's Science Fiction. Not Science with Fiction.*
*Sproiler Tags should only be used when you are going to be mentioning something that you can't already read on Gateworld*
*When I talk out my butt it smells like sarcasm*
