I seriously doubt the Ori are dead because that'd be just too easy.
If they are to be killed off, then the viewers would really need to see something of that magnitude happening on screen.
The fact that all those extra ships came through in the end, tells me that it didn't work & the Ori that pissed at almost being wiped out, sent all their currently completed ships through to finish the job of converting the galaxy.
It's cool that Daedalus was able to be cloaked by Jackson, however the fact that Carter doesn't know how it was done, nor does DJ remember how he was even able to do it, gives the impression that we won't see them cloaking & de-cloaking their 304's at will. Jackson should have left instructions in the computer or simplified it for O'Neill to understand. Who then could have told the jist of it to Carter, who could then figure it out.
1 point I didn't like so much was the rush DJ & then SG-1 was in to send the ship through with the weapon on board straight away. For all intensive purposes, they had the weapon, they had DJ with Merlins knowledge. Carter was able to interface with the Ori ship & take control of it. So I'd rather they have kept a hold of the Ori ship. Beamed the weapon off to Odyssey for safe keeping. Lowered the shields of the Ori ship, then beamed all life signs out into space.
After that they could have got DJ to draw out plans to make the weapon, how to make ZPM's or whatever in the 24 hours he had left with all that knowledge.
Even if nothing came of that, they would still have had an Ori ship, along with the completed weapon. All they needed to do was disconnect the gate at a later time. Dial in the supergate, then beam or launch the weapon through the wormhole into the Ori galaxy. Much simpler solution that having to sacrifice a fully working Ori ship for nothing.
Last point, was after DJ zapped Adria with his prior powers. Why didn't they take the piece of Celestis off her neck. Especially seeing how it protected her from Da'kara weapon etc.
Overall I'd give it a 7/10. I'd perhaps give it an 8 or 9 other than the fact that the Ori may have been wiped out off screen without seeing or hearing anything at all. So at this uncertain point I'm holding off on a mark or 2!
