Gould?

Goa'uld, actually. (Read too much fanfiction and bad spelling really starts to annoy)

Re: OT: The irony of SG1
 

All in all, I was seriously disappointed in the series finale for SG1. It seemed little more than just another episode to me, instead of and end to a long-running and popular series.

I greatly enjoyed Stargate SG1, though it did admittedly have it's high and low points. But still, I really think the Sci-Fi Channel dropped the ball on how they decided to end it.

Re: OT: The irony of SG1
 

Its like a "what happens to the characters afterwards" thing while still being open ended.

Re: OT: The irony of SG1
 

Maybe its a set up for some Movies to be released in Theatres??

Re: OT: The irony of SG1
 

I saw a clip for next season's Atlantis and it looks like Carter is moving there to be part of that team.

Teal'c aged 50 years in the finale so he's probably about ready to find a nice quiet planet to settle down on.

Jackson can't be a regular on Atlantis for some reason having to do with licensing and intelectual property. O'Neill and Jackson being characters in the original movie can't appear in more than guest roles in any spinoff series.

Mitchell and Shepard are both O'Neill clones and so cannot exist on screen at the same time without mutually self-destructing. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I just want to see Curt Russel guest star at least once.

Re: OT: The irony of SG1
 

Shouldn't Teal'c be decrepit now, rather than just a little grey-haired? He was already ~130... no more goa'uld to slow his aging should have done something...

Re: OT: The irony of SG1
 

His species can be several hundred years old.

Re: OT: The irony of SG1
 

His "species" is human, and they only live long by virtue of the restorative efforts of the goa'uld symbiotes they carry. Teal'c and other jaffa have said as much many times..

Re: OT: The irony of SG1
 

He is a Jaffa, as you stated, they are a different species from humans in that they are enhanced humans breed for thousands of years to be soldier for the goa'uld and to carry their young. After thousands of years of this, they have evolved. The show deals with this over the course of many episodes over years.

Re: OT: The irony of SG1
 

And of course, he still does take his injections of snake oil daily.

Re: OT: The irony of SG1
 

There was some mention of the Jaffa being "engineered" by the Goa'uld. Increased strength, increased endurance, ability to carry larval Goa'uld, and so who knows what else?

Don't get the skunk-stripe on Teal'c, though....

Re: OT: The irony of SG1
 

And along with that was mention that much of it was enhanced further by having a larval goa'uld inside (including lifespan).

Master Gray'Tac has commented on his age on many occassions as being way up there.
