Perhaps.. but I would consider that to be a big letdown of an episode too. Big deal, they help us get rid of some nuasance of a Goa'uld that the Asgard should have wiped out a long time ago in the first place. The Asgard aparently have had an interest in this Galaxy for a LOOOONG time, considering that we found that meeting hall (the ancient meeting hall), plus the place where what's-her-name's future-husband was found, which also had ancient and asgard writing all over. The Asgard AND the Ancients (assuming the Ancients hadn't taken off before the Goa'uld appeared) should have taken care of the Goa'uld right after they started causing problems, which was LONG before the Asgard had problems of their own.
I suspect that there's something more sinister going on in the background. I mean, let's look at the facts.
1. The Ancients, long gone, vamoose, nowhere to be found, presumed to no longer be in contact with any of the other 3 alliance races.
2. The Nox, wussed out, went into hiding, stopped being a contributing member of the universe, tossed in the towel, became hippies, call it whatever you want.
3. The Furlings -- who the heck knows. Probably all wiped out, since nobody talks about them.
4. The Asgard -- left all by themselves to fend for themselves in a not-so-friendly universe, and having NO ability to ask for help from any of the other 3 races, thus depending on us moronic low-tech idiots.
So, with all that in mind, there's a lot of disappearing highly advanced races. WHY did the Nox become pacifists? Was it to avoid getting anhialated? WHY did the Ancients "leave this part of space long ago"? WHAT happened to the Furlings? WHY did the Asgard stay in their Galaxy, and not go wherever the Ancients went?
When I put all these questions and pieces of information together, the only thing I can think of is that there was some force, some race, that just whooped the **** out of the 4-race alliance (let's not forget, to have an alliance, you need a common enemy, one would think), and for whatever reason, The Asgard felt it good to stick around in their own galaxy, and continue developing technologically, and not hide themselves, and continue to travel to other galaxies (milky way for instance).
The Nox, why did they go to the Milky Way galaxy? Why do they hide from EVERYTHING? Calling themselves pacifists is a cop-out in my book, because at ONE point they had allegiences. Even if they became pacifists and felt it best to not get involved, one would think they STILL would keep in contact with the Asgard. I guess that though, is based on the assumption that they DON'T, which nobody has ever stated. Perhaps they still do keep in contact.
The writers sure have their work cut out for them in the "answering questions" department, which is what I think makes this show so cool. There's so many story lines, so many intricate details, and so many relationships and suspected relationships.
The big answer I can't wait to find out? Who, or more precisely, WHAT Anubis is. Its been said in a few spoiler news postings that Anubis ain't human, and it has been implied that we'll know of the race that he is when we are finally told what he is. I am really curious to see. Nothing strikes me as obvious either.
1. A furling? I dunno, we don't know enough about them for that to be such a big deal. I'd just be like "Oh, wow, he's a furling, how quaint."
2. An Asgard? Not likely. He's too freaking tall.
3. An Ancient? Also not likely. If he were an Ancient, he would know everything the host body knows (there is a Goa'uld in there afterall), and if that were the case, why in blazes would he be bothering with the milky way galaxy, with all its inferior technology. He'd know how to build a stargate, he'd know how to use it to travel to OTHER galaxies (like in the 5th race), and presumably, he'd know how to build a ship that can get to other galaxies. Now, of course, ONE member of a species doesn't know everything about its own species. For instance, I am a human, humans can travel in space with the space shuttle, but if a parasitic host took my body today, and took me off world, said being wouldn't be able to figure out how to build a space shuttle from my memory. There IS some evidence that points to Anubis knowing something about the Ancients, which is a bit..... suspicious. He knew where that device was that was pounding low-frequency radiation at our gate, and made our gate stay open for hours. He knew how to operate it. He knew how to defend against Asgard weaponry (Osiris's ship when she kidnapped Thor). He knew how The Asgard physiology worked, being able to put an implant in the guy's brain for crying out loud. There IS some damning evidence that makes him out to be an Ancient. Still, I don't buy it.
4. A human who was previously a star NBA player, based on his height. Unlikely. Who knows whether that really was his face we saw, or a mask covering it. If it WAS his face, he wasn't human (or anything else we've ever seen), if it was a mask, the sky's the limit. If he is a human, he's a tall human, but that takes away the fact that people have implied he is a different race than that of other Goa'uld (er, the HOST is a different race that is).
5. A Nox? Nah, too tall again.
OK, I'm gonna stop now.
This post got WAY longer than I had anticipated, and got WAY off course. In any case, I just hope it isn't something so simple as the Asgard coming to our rescue just to take down a Goa'uld and stop him from taking over earth. Too cliche', and too expected. I think Anubis' days are numbered, but I think that humans alone will take him down. We have a knack for it anyways.
:laugh2: where do you find these Anni?!?!?
