Stargate Atlantis {Spoiler Talk} 3//11/05

No. No reason to involve the Goa'uld at all, just their technology. Wraith + sarcophogus= either very good (it is like a drug and they kill each other over them) or very bad.

The reason they drove off the Ancients was their large numbers of cruisers. Since they can't fit them through a stargate, that advantage over the Asgard and other powers we haven't seen is lost entirely.

I wonder if we are going to see Furlings in next season's SG-1.

 

[Crothian]

It would be interesting to finally see the Furlings, but I rather like that there are things in the show mentioned we never learn about.

 

[DMH]

Like a Star Trek series, SG-1 has tons of old stories that haven't been explained or finished (what happened to the fish people, the mist giants, the mercenaries people, the Nox, the Tollen, the foothold aliens with the hologram devices, the Retu, and more).

It would be nice to get some answers instead of going off into new directions.

I vaguely recall that there was an episode where both SG-1 and a Goa'uld delegation were on the Tollan homeworld in order to see about getting the snake out of that Abydosian kid. The goa'uld took the opportunity to sabotage the Tollan's defense grid, which then allowed a goa'uld fleet to wipe out the Tollan.

Well, that was the first one where the Tollan people were not killed, but later the Goa'uld came back with shields that the Tollen planetary blasters could not pentrate and they were to make bombs that could pass through the iris stargat ecommand uses. They at first did but SG-1 finds out about it and then the Goa'uld bombarded them to the stone age or even worse

 

[Kesh]

Yeah, I believe that was Anubis. The Tollen are gone.

 

[Tiberius]

Yeah, I believe that was Anubis. The Tollen are gone.

To be precise, it was Tanith in service of Anubis (whom we had not yet seen, nor had been mentioned) who destroyed the Tollen. Guess that'll learn Norrim for getting close to Carter. IIRC, the actor was reused in the Atlantis pilot as Dr. Wier's boyfriend. I couldn't help thinking "Hey! You're dead!" when I saw him.

 

[DMH]

The Tollen are gone.

So there were no Tollen offworld when thery were attacked? No offworld colonies? I doubt they were exterminated. The survivors would have gone into hiding from Anubis and other system lords and I wouldn't be suprised that they pop up in season 9.

They had no colonies. The Tollen were not explorers. They wanted to be left alone on their one planet. They wanted nothing to do with the any of the other races.

And you know this as a fact because? Unless you are an author of either series or an MGM executive or someone else in the know, you know as much as the rest of us- squat.

The main producers of the series could bring back anyone or anything they want (even if it makes the fans groan).
