[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] "I think Ra was on, like, a vacation or something during the movie. At the very least, he acted alot differently than other Goa'uld we've seen. And he didn't have hordes of troops all over his ship either." Might go hand in hand with him being a dying outcast. He'd be down to his last Jaffa, hoping against hope to rebuild his power base by using the otherwise long-abandoned Abydos. The desert world wouldn't breed vast armies very fast, so better use the local populance for mining first, military service second, rather than tap the limited pool for two things at once... Do the Goa'uld get free picks for what god they play to their slaves? If I were a juvenile Goa'uld working my way up, I'd pick as impressive a god as I possibly could; some of the above choices sound a bit petty. OTOH, did the Goa'uld make up the gods, or did they adopt gods created by the slaves of Earth? If the former, I'd expect them to constantly invent new gods to play, rather than just recycle the old ones. Most of the human slaves have had no contact with Earth for millennia, and just plain wouldn't recognize an obscure old Earth god. If you are going to descend from space and tell them "I am this kind of deity with this kind of backstory, now kneel", there's not much point in using a "real" god and backstory... The newest generation of Goa'uld would do well to use modern Earth fiction as their inspiration. Why not have Jaffa helmets shaped like the Predator one, for example? Or a Jason mask? Or a George W. Bush one? Terror is terror, and a Goa'uld or his loyal Jaffa will build his reputation by his fierce looks and cruel actions, not by the details or accuracy of his divine backstory.
