[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Umm, the origins of the Goa'uld FTL drives have not been revealed. But it seems they have a wide range of starship types now. And Teal'c in the first season was not aware of the superfast stardrives that got Apophis to Earth in a matter of hours, yet he is familiar with several of these mid-size starships, which now fly at those superfast speeds. So perhaps the faster drive is a new invention. Or a new acquisition, if the Goa'uld are incapable of invention. Or then the various System Lords just don't like to share their technologies with each other, or even inform their Jaffas of them. That *would* be very Goa'uld. Perhaps Apophis got the faster drive from a rival after Teal'c defected? Or dusted it off when he finally got a real adversary after a millennia-long break? Teal'c would have been trained during that break. In any case, the existence of FTL ships as an alternative to stargates has *always* been a plot point, or at least ever since "The Nox". Our heroes are always keen to point out that burying the gate will not protect a planet from the Goa'uld. The stargates simply are the poor man's alternative, and the Earthlings are poor men. They have a grand total of zero FTL ships in their possession, although they still stubbornly try to build those out of the shipwrecks they obtain. In fact, the existence of FTL ships would help explain why the Goa'uld don't use or guard their gates more actively (like, hey, Chulak was supposedly the main feodal holding of Apophis originally, yet ZERO guards at the gate!). So it's an underlying premise that keeps SG-1 going! Timo Saloniemi P.S. Buying tapes is pretty expensive if you want to collect an entire multi-season show. So we did it in groups. And with a big enough group, watching the tapes from a big screen, that comes a bit too close to "commercially distributing" the tapes. If every one of us watched the tape alone at home, it would wear down completely before the last one got to it... :( [/QB][/QUOTE]
