Originally posted by GateAngelBack in season 6 there was an episode that started the whole tretonin thing. They were using a symbiote queen to create offspring that had no genetic memory and were blank slates.
Later on we find out that Anubis is creating symbiotes that are pretty much the same kind of blank slate and can be controlled. The next logical step would be for Ba'al to find a way to create symbiotes that are blank slates and imprint them with his memories/personality and then place them in the cloned bodies of his host.

Originally posted by Deejay435So I guess we're supposed to assume that Ba'al's original host was pretty darned evil too, since if he hasn't cloned the symbiote to control the host, there's nothing keeping the host from rebelling? I honestly don't know, it's one of the things that annoy me about this whole cloned Ba'al thing.
Does anyone else have any thoughts on what non-cloned symbiotes means to the cloned hosts?

I completely agree with Randy. The beam-up in OTG was not an example of Deus Ex Machina because we knew the Odyssey was on their way to save them and because we knew they had subdermal tracking things on them and because we knew about the beam-up technology. If we didn't know any of those things and the SG-1 team was just suddenly beamed up without any foreshadowing, then that would be Deus Ex Machina. Obviously the writers had them beamed up at the last possible moment for dramatic and humorous effect, but that doesn't make it Deus Ex Machina.

So the deus ex machina call is valid.Last edited by randy; 22 February 2006, 05:06 AM.

Originally posted by AndyStargateUKMy theory is he moved onto a splinter while saying the line from the prop bench which they were all sitting on which caused his loud response.
Everyone has a bad day now and then so it would be unfair to condem him for one thing in one episode, and as for the other bad points hopefully the writers and everyone picked up on them when they saw the final episode and try not to repeat them in the future (or incurr the wrath of us viewers!).

Originally posted by AndyStargateUKCloning the symbiote would be the easy way out but we don't even know if it could be done. For one it would have meant Ba'als host would have been 'free' for a small period of time while the symbiote was being cloned,something ba'al could not do alown.
Also the cloned Anubis didn't have a symbiote, yet it retained the memories of Anubis, Nerus looked a bit shocked when he saw the clones but when he met Ba'al when he arrived he didn't comment on the fact he couldn't detect a symbiote despite greeting Ba'al and being around long enough to realise if a symbiote was not present.
Bit inconclusive really...
Does anyone else have any thoughts on what non-cloned symbiotes means to the cloned hosts?

Originally posted by binkpmmcThe line where Mitchell screams about letting them go is just awful and some of the worst, if not the worst, acting I have seen anywhere short of maybe (and that is a BIG maybe) Ali McGraw in Love Story.

Originally posted by cafine_usIf only the original Baal has a symbiote, then wouldn't Nerus have noticed the lack of a symbiote in the Baals he saw? I think the symbiote as well as the host is cloned.

Originally posted by AndyStargateUKsnip, snip Bad points-
-We didn't get to see how Cam escaped in the first place,instead we had to watch the first opening minute or so repeated (I'm not really a fan of these 8 hours before stories after a few minutes of starting off in the present).
-Trying to pass yourself as a big dealer called Mr Shaft seems like Cam was just trying to immitate his favorite tv show or something, it didn't really carry any military forward planning though in fairness it didn't really seem like there was any other way they could find out who they were up against.
-Cam for me didn't pull off the line where he complained where they said they would let them go, it was oviously a jack reference ,he just shouted it rather than spoke it which probably killed the line.
For me these were so bad it was painful to watch (should also have left in your point about being teleported back to ship standing up and healed because that was just a sad joke that showed how extraordinarily lazy so many on the show have become - can you say continuity and GLARING continuity).
The line where Mitchell screams about letting them go is just awful and some of the worst, if not the worst, acting I have seen anywhere short of maybe (and that is a BIG maybe) Ali McGraw in Love Story.

And the thing is the little things are representative of the larger problems we've seen this season.

Whoops.
You're right...not Nerus...but based on his and Ba'al's plans.
Give me that at least. Or not.

Originally posted by ÜberSG-1FanIntriguing observation but Sam didn't have a chance to examine the means by which Nerus disengaged the gates from the network before realizing the original plan to be beamed off of the ship wasn't going to work and came up with this Plan B.
I am left then to assume that whatever means Nerus remove that gate from the system, the master control crystal and the other crystals were intact and in place, as I don't think Sam would have had time to find and replace any missing crystals.
My guess is that she reset the DHD, which we know is a fairly quick task, thereby reconnecting one of the gates to the subspace network in order to get it to work.
The time inbetween the gate being beamed away and SGC dialing the planet to see why they hadn't checked in means the process that was used was most likely something simple like shutting off the gates power crystals so it could not send out updates. Perhaps they wern't removed but merely pulled out of place, but like if you pull your power blug even half way out of the socket and half way in the power goes off.
It would make sense as why bother starting reprogramming everything when you haven't even selected your target planets, much easier to do a quick snatch,grab and disable (in a quick and easy fashion that anyone could do) as many gates as possible before suspicions are aroused or you can be tracked down which nearly worked.
Originally posted by ÜberSG-1FanI do have a question though. We learned from Within the Serpent's Grasp that a gate has to be close enough to it's originating planet in order for the point of origin to be accurate. Now I think that Ba'al's ship was close to a planet, but WHAT planet? Was that planet necessarily one from which Ba'al stole a gate? Further, how did Sam know which DHD to use and what the point of origin for that planet was?
Or am I missing something (which I tend to do often enough)???
i.e They could have used any of the DHD's as they would be programmed with the same point of origin relative to the closest planet in the stargate network when they were turned back on, but only one gate out of them would work since only that would contain the origin symbol, which they would find out when the wormhole is established.
Plotwise this would mean though once Nerus went through five gates to avoid detection he would have needed some assistance to reach Ba'al from a third party.
Sam probably knew the point of origin anyway before waiting to see which gate activated when using the DHD,when they tracked Nerus Oddessy was sent an address, it's likely they were given coordinates which also comes with the nearest gate address with its point of origin included so that the ship and its crew has an utra accurate idea of where to go.Last edited by AndyStargateUK; 15 February 2006, 03:48 PM.
