Premiere Night - SciFi

Personally, I love the Ori storyline. As to why they can't wipe out the SGC without a second thought, their 'treaty' with the Ancients prevents them from direct assaults, forcing them to use their minions instead...who are fallable and weak enough to be defeated, though not without a hell of a fight.

You know why the Ori are bad villians? Because they are like the Borg. Big, bad, and relentless. As a result, they got a lot of attention form the focus groups and test audiences and the show misunderstood that as a desisre to see more and more.

The Ori should've been handled with the rule of thumb "Less is More".

I have to say that I too like the Ori idea. Given that I came up with a version of it in my OUTS story nearly four years ago. However, I do miss the exploration aspect of SG and I hate to say it, but I also miss RDA.

AT supposedely RDA is going to be in 5 or so episodes this season, and its supposed to be more then that 2 second appearence in the begining of season 9. Also they have episode 200 coming up soon, so that should be pretty intresting "Return of Martin

". As for exploration thing missing, next week's episode seems to be an exploration thing, although it seems to be tied to looking for something to fight the Ori. In any case I am hopeful that it will be pretty good this season, considering I have read some spoilers. From what I read it seems only 3 episodes have direct Ori presence- out of the 7 there is info on.

RDA is confirmed for episode 200 and there are enough hints to suggest furlings too.

I honestly stopped watching SG1 a while back, (Still love the earlier ones mind you

) I watched the latest seasons and felt pretty disappointed, especially by the Ori storyline.

For me, it should have ended at the end of Season 8 (That two parter was one of my favourites)

I think the show has evolved. I like the earlier - episodic - nature of the show, but a developing storyline has got to be more interesting to write rather than "reset" back to status quo at the end of every episode.
