    Excalibur = a ship?

    Does anyone think that Excalibur is an experimental Ancient super-warship? I get the feeling that it is....

    Although it'll be a ripoff of Babylon 5's Excalibur starship... (which looks like a gigantic Jaffa Staff Weapon with 3 fins).

    Hopefully, StarGate's version of the Excalibur Ancient super-warship will be better...

    No, its suppoesd to draw energy out of the region of space that ascended beings occupy.

        I think it would be cool.
        BTW the energy device it the holy grail
        Excalabur could easly be an anchient ship, and watch Author be the captain.

                I never noticed this before (mostly becaus I wasn't watching SG-1 at the time), but the bow of Excalibur looks like a Staff Weapon.

                      No, thats not Excalibur. Thats the "Sangreal" or "Holy Grail" (San Greal), aka the "blood stone" according to Daniel as it also refers to stones or jewels. That was a weapon that Merlin hid somewhere. Read your Arthurian Myths about Arthur and his knights searching for the Holy Grail. Now Excalibur is Arthur's main weapon, his sword.

                      This could translate anywhere from an actualy sword or some other type of hand held device, or it can be a starship.

                        Strazinsky delved a little bit into Arthurian myth. The Victory Class Destroyer known as "Excalibur" was supposed to be the sword coming back in the hour of humanity's greatest need.

                        Now if you ever saw "Babylon 5: A Call to Arms" and the proceeding "Babylon 5: Crusade" spinoff, Earth had been hit with an artificial nano-tech virus where within 5 years, 10 billion people on Earth will all die. (the time setting was in the year 2265 & up)

                          Also, in one of the season two or three episodes (it was after Sheridan took over but before the secession, I think... I can't really remember), a Minbari War vet was walking around saying he was Arthur. Of course, he had a kind of space-madness/PTSD, but still.... it was a cool episode.

                          I think they decided that Kosh was the Merlin of their little group.

                            I believe there is a very good possibility that Excalibur could end up being a ship of some sort. If it is, hopefully it can take out those Ori ships.

                              I have already posted this before…a few times.

                              I have said that the Excalibur should be a ship built by Merlin with the express use of Ori killing.

                              The Welsh name for Excalibur was Caladvwlch, equating linguistically with Irish Caladbolg, the name of a sword borne by heroes in Irish legend, derived from calad (hard) and bolg (lightning).

                              Hard lighting sounds like energy weapons to me.

                              It should resemble the swords we keep seeing. Arthur could be part ancient trained by Merlin and given the Excalibur to fight on after he had passed. Merlin ascended and hid the vessel knowing to return when he was needed.
