The Asgard's relationship with the Goa'uld is all about presenting a skewed perception of power. As of the time of their introduction they could occasionally send a single ship into the Milky Way to do some damage in response to a system lord's antics, but keeping the Goa'uld in line only worked when the Goa'uld believed the lie that the Asgard could follow that up with more military action. So what if the Asgard also used to want to try to project the idea of themselves as physically strong as an added layer?
I've gotten into so many conversations with people who get upset when superheroes are shorter than they think they should be because then they can't believe that they would wail on a normal human character who is physically taller than them. It doesn't matter that one character has superpowers and one doesn't; it's the height of those characters that matter to them. It's a very primitive evolutionary trigger that certain animals use to determine whether it's worth challenging another animal. It's why people are told to make themselves look big when confronted by mountain lions, for example. People also make these judgments all the time among themselves and it generally serves average people to avoid fights with hulking lumberers, but it's sometimes more important to them than other factors like what technological advances a person has. I don't know that the Goa'uld have that problem naturally, but they could have picked it up from their human hosts and/or the Asgard could have thought it best to err on the side of presenting strength.
This is my long way of saying that perhaps the Goa'uld thought that Thor looked like his hologram when it was installed all those many years ago.Last edited by Xaeden; 07 August 2020, 04:44 AM.

A very good episode: Norse mythology via The Asgard, the Unas with James Earl Jones ( so very awesome!), a former Goa'uld host that survived the Goa'uld being burned out, and Daniel choosing Teal'c's immediate need over the possibility of saving Sha're eventually.
My major beef is that they chose to destroy Thor's hammer without consulting anyone from the planet. Granted, the planet still has the device that sends Goa'uld to the cave, and they can block entrances, but still.
Maybe my attitude is affected by recently watching Smallville.
Jigsaw time was 7:40.

SG-1 did indeed destroy the hammer, and did it for their own gain too.
They literally chose the one over the many, but the many weren't Tau'ri so they value less over their own (even though Teal'c isn't one of their own either). This theme will make a return throughout the show(s).Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

But I think that's a good thing cause it means we've changed over time and have grown, have learned new things -- at least I hope so.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

Errors :
1. Only three chevrons are locked as a sound effects, but the wormhole is established.
2. Daniel pushes only one symbol on the DHD and the whormhole is established.
Oops. These were dialing errors again. My bad. There was nothing else to find here.

By the way... I was not aware that the Goa'uld Marduk was mentioned in this episode. Kendra mentions him that her Goa'uld belonged to his family."I was hoping for another day. Looks like we just got a whole lot more than that. Let's not waste it."
"Never underestimate your audience. They're generally sensitive, intelligent people who respond positively to quality entertainment."
"Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today, but the core of science fiction, its essence, has become crucial to our salvation, if we are to be saved at all."
