They have left Series 6 end with a real inbalance of power.
Daniel let Anubis get the eye Rah. He then completely destroyed all of the system lord ships, did any of them survive?
You would think with his new toy Anubis would head straight to Earth and destroy the SGC. If Series 7 starts with some weak off world hunt for the lost city of the ancients with no reference to Anubis`s Uber ship then it will be one big plot flaw.
As it stands I dont believe anyone has the power to stop him apart from the Ancients themselves.
Unless this is where they bring the Furlings in??? Or they somehow recruit the Nox into protecting them. I miss the Nox they were great even if the leader used to run bar just off Bajor.

I'm in the U.S., so I haven't seen the episode yet, but you mentioned that the only ones it seems that could stop Anubis after this is the Ancients themselves. You're forgetting one thing.
The Asgard. Their technology has advanced *drastically* in the past 2-3 years. Their quick advancement technologically has all been forced upon their race, in order to survive against the replicators.
That being said, the Asgard are kind of in a 'limbo' state right now. They're saved, for the time being. It is assumed that if any replicators survived the little "time bubble" thing and were able to escape, there wasn't enough to be significant. I believe they said something at the end of the episode about the Asgard not rendevousing with SG-1 until they were certain that NO replicator ships got through the time bubble. Since SG-1 eventually got back to Earth, and they couldn't have done it under their own power of course (they were in another galaxy for crying out loud), it can be assumed that the replicators are a done-deal, at least for now.
So, as Thor said in "Disclosure", SG-1 has saved the Asgard on more than one occasion, The Asgard have complete faith and confidence in SG-1 and the human race, and the Asgard have shown that they are *actively* helping Earth now in the pursuit of new technologies. In Disclosure Thor said in response to the question about why he had come all the way to Earth, that he came to *also* install some kind of hardware on Prometheus.
This shows that the Asgard are now playing a *very* active role in the day-to-day life of SG-1. Personally, having a supremely advanced alien race indebted to you for saving their entire race on more than one occasion is, well, a very good thing.
Nobody knows *exactly* how advanced the Asgard are. How quickly are they able to rebuild their race to the state it was before the replicators? Are they so advanced that they are able to create structures, devices, weaponry simply by firing a little laser beam at a pile of raw material, and *poof*, you have a spaceship? Or, are they still at that level where they need to rebuild factories, and rebuild processing plants, and things of this nature. If the latter is true, of course the Asgard's participation would be limited. Even still, if that is the case, they now have the ability to "spare" ships when necessary, since there is no immediate threat to them. They can continue their rebuilding process, but still be able to afford to send ships at any time in SG-1's aide.
I'm very much so looking forward to season 7. I have a feeling the Asgard are going to play a HUGE role in Season 7. If you look at the facts, The Asgard played a pretty big role in season 6, and Shanks wasn't even on the show anymore (Shanks does Thor's voice). One would think they had to pay Shanks a lot more to come back repeatedly to do Thor's voice, than when he was an active member of the show.
But now, Shanks is back on the casting list. So now, he's more readily available to do Thor's voice. Keeping in mind how much the Asgard were present in Season 6, I think Season 7 is going to have a lot more of our favorite gray aliens, probably fighting along-side SG-1 on more than one occasion.
But anyways, back to my original point, I don't think SG-1, or, Earth for that matter, is completely screwed. Sure, Anubis got ahold of some nifty technology, he's got a ship that can dust our civilization to oblivion, but there are two very simple, but very important facts.
1. Anubis did not save the entire race of the Asgard from extinction. SG-1 did, more than once.. I would think at this point, the Asgard would hold SG-1 in such high regard that they would do whatever is necessary to preserve their existence. Humans have proven to be an extremely valuable ally to the Asgard, and Thor stated that in pretty much those words in Disclosure.
2. Anubis upset Thor, and upset him goooood. This guy put Thor in a COMA after implanting a freaking chip into his brain. Surely, Thor has Anubis on his own personal 's***-list" way above any other Goa'uld (or any other adversary for that matter).
I think SG-1 is gonna be juuuust fine. So's earth for that matter.
