Well, that ship's been around for the better part of a year now. How old does something have to be before it's not a spoiler any more? But you're right, someone edit the thread title, please?
Oh, and as for defending Earth, we've come a long way since Apophis' attack seven years prior. Now we have shield-penetrating tech, IIRC, so our uber-enhanced gigaton nukes can actually hit their ships. And I wouldn't be surprised if we have an entire squadron of F302s now.

Then maybe we should start another thread. Forgive my selfishness, but I'm about the only SG-1 fan in my neck of the woods, and stoopid Global won't carry the show any time soon. I'm current thanks to downloads, but my only friends who likes SG-1 IRL are only buying the DVDs. I need to talk current!

I would think that spoilers would, at least, include anything that hasn't been shown in syndication (for those who watch it on network TV, rather than cable). In other words, at this point, anything post-season-5.

No No No No NO!!!
I hate how you North Americans think you are the only television viewing population in the world.
I'm talking about spoilers for ANYTHING.
I've noticed a LOT of people are even behind me here - i.e. most have seen generally season 1 and 2 and 3. Just clearly state at the top of your thread - WHICH SEASON you will be talking about.
I.e. if you say season 6 - i won't read. if it's 5 - then I will.
The whole THREAD doesn't have to be changed and new threads don't have to be started - just be considerate and type a few keystrokes and let everyone know which season you are about to talk about.
That's all
Thanks.

Ahhhhhhh TSN - thanks - is that why some Americans have seen new eps while others are a few seasons behind.
And Mark - no problem about talking current - just at the top of your post - state which season you will be talking about. Because starting a new thread will invariably lead to discussions about earlier seasons that others would like to be a part of.

Daniel returns when he's effectively kicked out of the Oma Dessala fan club for interfering. He had been increasingly uncomfy with being basically omnipotent but being unable to effect change on our plane because of some rules Oma had. During all of his S6 appearances, he couldn't help but interfere to help Jack or Teal'c or the team, and eventually it caught up with him. There's still some mystery as to what's going on, as when he initially showed up he had no memory of anything - he's gotten most of his pre-ascension memory back, but still doesn't know most of what happened while he was all uber.

Hmmm... see, other shows could learn a thing or two from this... you don't have to tie everything up in one episode... leave some mystery... let it ride for a little bit.

SG-1 is *great* with that. They're not necessarily leaving stuff dangling on purpose, but they're very good with picking up and using the stuff that is. Whole episodes have been predicated on the tiniest plot nuance from a previous episode.

Hey Mark! Thanks for that VERY NICE Season spoiler warning.
And no general warnings people - unless it is really general like your suspicion general. If you don't know the season try and find out Or use episode names (although I'm not good with them) - just general seasons. Gawd I wish they'd bring back SG1 for the year, here - I'm sure they will soon - a lot of shows are coming to the end of their runs for the year.

She's an ancient, the race who created the gates and who ascended to become the non-corporeal beings we've seen on occasion. She may or may not be related to various nature religions on earth. Oma's a rather unconventional ancient. They apparently have very strict rules about interfering with the development of other species, but she occasionally helps some ascend to their level, which is just barely within the rules. She's the one that helped Daniel ascend when he was about to die, and presumably the one that kicked him out when he broke the rules.
As for it being a bad idea to ascend a main character to near omnipotence, well, why not? SG-1 is handling it rather well.

Since there really isn't anywhere to post this...
This past weekend, I was lucky enough to be at "Anime Evolution 2003" in Vancouver. As part of my organization's media initiative, I got to interview most of the guests - including Joseph Mallozzi, co-exec producer of Stargate SG-1. As it happens, he's a major anime fan now, and has some interesting ideas for things to do with anime properties. But while I was at it, I got him to spill the beans on some upcoming SG-1 fun.
