Actually Kelsi...... since the actual Goa'uld supporters are NOT those who post here regularly, I was referring to the majority, NOT the minority. Fans like yourself and others are definitely in the minority here.
I guess it's a case of 'If the cap fits, wear it'. Go back over the postings and you will see why I get the idea that I often feel I am the only one who argues for the show not just being about SG1 and how they feel and interact with each other.
I understand why many who want the show to be true to the original concept don't post, because when we try to state our case, the Jack, Sam, Danny, Teal'c, Major Davis etc lovers immediately jump all over us and say that the show would be nothing without the characters. And I don't disagree, believe it or not. Of COURSE the characters are extremely important, but then so are the aspects of the exploration, new planets, ancient civilisations and religions and other species and also, very importantly, the Goa'uld, simply because without these aspects and their threat the whole premise of the show is rubbish and may as well be a soap opera set in a military base with teams which just happen, as a sideline, to occcasionally step through a gate which takes them to other worlds.
Please don't misunderstand me, I am not trying to tell you or anyone else how to think or what to like. You must be true to what YOU feel.
I don't think that Danny is ascending to be a 'god' at all..... But like Sky I would rather he just went off to permanently join another team which was more concerned with the archaeological and anthropological aspects of gate travel or even just got some wonderful new post at an educational establishment or something. The Oma Desala/Orlin s**t is just too much in my view. Too saccharine and comfortable AND convenient a solution to the actor leaving the show.
In fact, I was never comfortable with the Oma Desala and Harcesis child storyline anyway. I think the whole idea of the offspring of two Goa'uld existing would have had more bite had the safety and welfare of the child just been allowed to be a continuing concern in the background and then brought out as either a main arc or even a sideline in other episodes. Instead, they've fed us with this almost supernatural crappy line and then not either explained or gone deeper into it to give it some credibility.
It's almost as if the writers and producers suddenly get a good idea, build an episode around it and get the viewers going and then just abruptly discard it in favour of something else, instead of keeping the storyline going. Leaving us with questions and plots which are left hanging in mid air. In fact one of the few arcs they have kept going is the Teal'c revenge aspect, but then again, they only used that one to justify the easy killing of the Goa'uld and that was definitely done to appease and feed the majority of the fans' desperate need for the feelgood factor in shows.
I had not seen you post on this thread Kelsi, and I do know that you support my feelings in the main... and if we do disagree then it's a healthy disagreement and one which I both expect and welcome from you!
As for the Last Stand aspect, I have no idea whose last stand it is.... but I have a horrible suspicion that it might be the seven System Lords' last stand. I have a growing feeling that somehow Osiris will get the toxin off Daniel and use it to kill the seven System Lords and will then perhaps try to take over their remaining armies, which will bring her into conflict with Anubis and force him into the open. Remember, Osiris was told by Zipacna that the Tok'ra were planning to release the toxin and it wouldn't have taken her much of a leap of the imagination to realise that this was why Daniel was present at the summit. The Tok'ra won't be able to assist in anything because there's only Jacob and Elliot left (apparently) and earth will be caught in the middle, without ANY kind of allies, of a pitched battle for supremacy between Osiris and Anubis.
Now THAT storyline would make sense to me...... but of course, there is also the 'SG1 are formidable and can crush armies with one hand (or a P90 and some C4 explosive!) and leap over tall buildings' sydrome which exists, and it's possible that Sam will just have one of her 'ideas' and everyone in the galaxy will end up getting nuked by the good old US of A leaving earth the only habitable planet which would then mean then we go underwater and inward on earth to find Atlantis!!! Oh god... I hope not!
:evil:
