This is a pic released from the SG-1's eighth season finale story, "Moebius":<br /><br /> <a href="http://gateworld.net/sg1/s8/graphics/819_02.shtml" target="_blank">http://gateworld.net/sg1/s8/graphics/819_02.shtml</a> <br /><br />Don Davis (Hammond) and Jay Acovone (Kawalsky) also come back in the (probable series) finale, which is (surprise surprise) about time travel and alternate realities. Jaye Davison is NOT reprising his role as Ra, and Gateworld suspects that he'll remain masked for the time we see him anyway. <br /><br />So it looks like we're jumping around the eight-plus years of Stargate we've been given, and we'll be revisiting some favorite characters and events of the show. Cliched, yes, but assuming this is the end of the series it'll be a nice sendoff if they stick to the SG-1 standard of doing cliched things right.<br /><br /><b>ADDENDUM:</b> Looks like there WILL be a ninth season, though it's yet to be confirmed by official sources. One of the producers is reported as saying the show will be back, though Richard Dean Anderson will be seen in only FOUR episodes of the season.<br /><br /><a href="http://stargate-sg1-solutions.com/ipw-web/b2/index.php?p=159&c=1" target="_blank">http://stargate-sg1-solutions.com/ipw-web/b2/index.php?p=159&c=1</a><br /><br />This comes as no huge surprise to fans, who know RDA has wanted out of the show for years now. I'm willing to be that he'll be written out of the show by switching places with Hammond, who was sideways-promoted to the Pentagon to make room for RDA's reduced schedule. In any case, I hope this'll mean we'll finally have a fourth character on the team again.

Ra found ancient Earth and thought: "Humans, taste like chicken and will make great hosts." He could have told his fellow Goa'uld, "Want to live? Promise to serve me and I will direct you to Earth."

Did someone mind link with him somehow, or did one of the Abydonians tell them? Unless it came directly from Ra's mind, whoever told them could just have been wrong.<br /><br />Or did they read it on the wall of some building? Even then... it could have been propaganda designed to make everyone think that Ra was the last one. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Mark Nguyen</b> <br /><small>Member # 469</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2004,10,29,13,3,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">November 29, 2004</span> <span class="timeformat-0">01:03 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> That was the idea of it, yes. In the movie, daniel read the story from the wall in the catacombs, whereby Ra was "the last of a dying race". He came across the humans, found that the "Crying Game" guy was a much better host for him and took him, and proceeded to enslave the population. We then forbade reading and writing to make the Abydonians forget the truth.<br /><br />In the series, Daniel posits that Ra lied about his being the last one, so that his human subjects wouldn't think that the other snakeheads were like him. Fandom has since suggested that Ra's "there can be only one" rhetoric was abandonned by the Goa'uld after Abydos had been populated, as other System Lords gained in power. <br /><br />At least it's not like the Stargate novel sequels, that have Jack and Daniel fighting Hathor and other "gods" who were really just a sucession of humans in Ra's entourage that had been embodying their namesakes for generations. <br /><br />Mark <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Mark Nguyen</b> <br /><small>Member # 469</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2004,11,15,10,43,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">December 15, 2004</span> <span class="timeformat-0">10:43 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Breaking news: With RDA being in the show only on an occasional basis for the ninth season, the rest of the gang will get beefed up by some more beefcake: Ben Browder, formerly of Farscape, is joining the regular cast.<br /><br />I don't mind this; Anderson's becoming a remote presence has left the three remaining characters with an unbalanced team chemistry.
