I, for one, welcome our new evil overlords. Stargate, now in its ninth season (it seems like it will never end) has a new super villain. They call themselves The Ori and they are somehow related to The Ancients, but I can’t figure out how. Both The Ancients and The Ori are ascended beings. The policy of The Ancients is to not interfer with beings in the lower planes of existance. They will not stop people from ascending, nor will they help anyone. The Ori on the other hand want to help people ascend, so much in fact, that if you stray from their path of enlightenment, they will set you on fire. In the latest episode, there was a nice reference to fire, which is the central icon of The Ori. Daniel Jackson wondered if The Ancients had something to do with the fact that on earth, fire is associated with evil, hell not heaven. It’s also fun to note that The Ori only refer to The Ancients as “evil”. With eight seasons, full of many bad episodes, it feels like it can’t hold much longer, but if they make something good out of this storyline, it can probably be quite fun.
