Being ascended is useless unless you plan to meditate for all eternity. The Q from Star Trek had more fun with the whole "being an immortal, omnipotent, god-like being" gig.

@@RoosterMontgomery Given the diner scenes it seems the ancients like larping as characters. Maybe ascended beings just like playing MMORPG games. Oma got really into the waitress character.

Never even noticed the glasses thing, nice.

@@RoosterMontgomery I think it's because of their agreement with the Ori. Neither side are to directly use their powers in the mortal plane.

Yeah. Knowledge at that level, probably needs to be "accessed" in a wilful manner. If you access it, the others would know, and thus (in this case) intervene. He's not accessing it, so technically speaking not breaking the rules!

indeed

Seriously... dude :D

Aimboot. :p

@@kjellringstrom6217 Junior adds an extra +2 to hit, gives fast healing and blind fight at implantation.

its a stinger so it should be heat-seeking

@@Skaitania He's ascended at this point. No physical body, thus no physical defects to cause bad eyesight. That said, it's still mildly dark in there :P

@@Skaitania Again, dark. Being ascended doesn't give you super-powers or nightvision, so it's still hard to clearly see in the dark.

Yes so funny love it, Michael shanks does actually need glasses however most the time now he just wears contacts.

@@BYERE I'm sorry, what about being ascended fails to give superpowers? Maybe using them is complicated because of all the other ascended beings, but that doesn't mean you don't have them.

@@ThePCguy17 Nothing in the show... or in the franchise, to my knowledge... specifically states that you suddenly gain super strength or x-ray vision, etc. You can control your energy, as seen by Daniel when he tries to strike down Anubis, and become a purely energy-based being, but you don't suddenly become Superman just because you've ascended to a higher state of being. At best, your physical form is perfected in the sense that you no longer have any afflictions (illness, hunger/thirst, you can't be physically damaged, etc), and you can learn all sorts of things, but it doesn't mean you can physically overpower a mighty warrior, etc. They sum it up nicely when Daniel and Jim are in the ascended realm and are talking about Anubis. They can only do whatever they could have done as a mortal. They're not allowed to use any knowledge or abilities gained through ascension. It's also why Daniel can't just walk through the walls to find the Eye of Ra, and why he can't see in the dark...

holy crap dude, nice catch! i guess the props department dropped the ball on that one.

I was just about to say that good thing I scrolled the comments first 😂

Well that's just common courtesy!

there are plants that can be preserved with their oils in them in bundles... mummies were used to fuel steam engines in Egypt more than 2000 years after being laid down

Lol. Tbf i do that too. So use to them

Force of habit.

Came to the comments to find this. Great touch

I do that, too

He’d already spoken and conversed with Skar’ra in the intro

O'NEILL: "To be honest, we tossed out a ton of junk." (Then seeing the look Daniel gave him) _"A lot of which seemed to be very valuable."_

If this show debuted today, odds are he would have more time in the spotlight.

972+~ ha ha pp

They tried but he turned them down I believe

@@Ragitsu if the show debuted today it would have gotten cancelled after season 4. Many good shows getting cancelled while trash shows on for 59272749 seasons 😵‍💫

shoot'n'scoot

"The Ancients did it, sir."

Teal'c just opened his inventory and selected another weapon. Player character confirmed.

What the hell!

Hell, it probably was. That could have also contributed significantly to the destruction of Abydos.

@@lurkingcarrier8736 I thought the planet blew up because Anubis' weapon caused a chain reaction in the Naquadah from the planet's crust.

@@sargon6000 that too added to the explosion of the zpm

Maybe the “eyes” were proto-ZPM, or a variant. The goa’uld scavenged anything and everything belonging to the Ancients.

Jack hated the experience and just seemed to want to forget it ever happened. Which is understandable He always hated the prospect of being joined, then was in a way forced and then practically taken hostage by the symbiote and endlessly physically tortured for the trouble

The blending of the 2 is probably what allowed Anubis to trick Oma and also why he cant be descended

Und nur bei Sam wurde der Symbiont nicht entfernt (oder ist abgehauen wie bei Jack), sondern hat sich geopfert und in ihrem eigenen Körper aufgelöst. Von den Protein-Rückständen wird in anderen Folgen einige Male gesprochen. Vielleicht deshalb ...

How do we know if Jack experienced the memories of his symbiote, he's black ops trained to hide/disguise memories, experiences etc in order to withdraw from torture-questioning. He's a master at hiding his memories and knowledge etc

Imagine a glider vs the glorious brrrrrt plane

@@derianvandalsen Most planes can take a glider on The fire rate is far too long though the maneuverability might be better

@@TyonKree bit do they make a funny sound whilst doing it?

@@derianvandalsen Gliders weren't designed to "fight" eachother. They are only needed to keep the settlements, punish humans, travel through the Stargate. They don't really need them in battle. They have unlimited amount of Jaffa for fighting on the ground and motherships when fighting in the air or space. Therefore they don't need firepower or shields. They are just used to show off or explore. That is why the motherships don't carry hundreds of these, just a bunch. The earliest iterations of manmade fighters could take them on. Or just send a modern AA vehicle through the gate and those are useless. But the mothership just flies above and annihilates anything from space.

@@humorpalanta just like any other war machine of the Goa'uld, the glider was made to instill terror. I love Jack's point of that Tauri weapons are meant to kill, but I think that the BRRRRT can do both :) but you're right; our fighters can easily take on theirs. (I just like the Warthog)

Oh man, yes!! Him just showing up subtly creating a probability in her favor (a way that "walking the line" can occur). I know that'd be an extreme blink and you miss it cameo, but still....

Eh... Shanks was in the record as saying that he felt like his character had gotten into a rut. This only would have been reinforcing what he didn't want for the character.

Daniel accidentally imagined them.

Its an Abydonian watching the stairs.

That seems to be the case.

An Abydonian, he was watching the stairs, and I guess followed them in to light the torches. the question though is where does he go after that, he walks off the left, but as they establish, that room only has one way in or out.

@@AgentExeider Scene cut to a gunfight and then returned to the chamber afterwards. He finished lighting the torches on the 4th wall side and exited during that cut.

Up until the fifth Season, the writing was tight.

@@Ragitsu S1 - Goauld can barely muster 2 ships to attack Earth and are supposed to take years to get anything done S5 - Goauld have had hundreds to thousands of Hataks that can jump around within days at most. Result: Teal'c completely forgot about the capabilities of the Goauld in S1 despite serving directly as a First Prime.

@@PR3DATOR490 Maybe they got some serious upgrades because Ra was hoarding all the good stuff. When he died everyone else scrambled for his tech.

How so?

@@Ragitsu Lasers are a single wavelength of light, between 638nm and 670nm. Either they were extremely lucky and crystal was tuned to the exact frequency of Sam's laser sight, or it accepts red light of any wavelength. White light is all wavelengths of visible light including red so the flashlight should have activated it too.

@@asvarien that's a good observation, perhaps it would be triggered by a strong concentration of red light like a laser.

@@asvarien it would be very very easy, even for us today to make something that would be triggered by red light only. All that it has to do when having light pointed at it is measure the intensity of the light wavelengths and determine just how red something is. When something shows as only red or majority red it activates. When something shows as red, green, blue, yellow, violet it goes “oh ok not opening now”

U know, just imagine. You have safe, and u have hint how to open it written on its doors. but why?

Anything that you don't believe in is Demonic.

Perhaps: they do take liberties with human traditions, and seek to entertain and entrall, instead of enlighten or investigate. Did you have something specific in mind?
