Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
Something that I've been thinking about re Stargate SG-1 season 10:
Spoiler:
The Ori:
OK, so they have a Supergate, or perhaps Supergates, to send their battlecruisers through from their galaxy to the Milky Way. Fair enough.
But... why the hell don't they just send a load of ships from their galaxy to ours via hyperspace?
I mean, surely they have the technology.
They're pretty equivalent to the Ancients, & the Ancients originally travelled from their home galaxy (which is also the Ori home galaxy) to the Milky Way, via ship(s) with intergalactic hyperdrives, millions of years ago, & then went from the Milky Way to Pegasus via Atlantis & its intergalactic drive.
Hell, even the Asgard, who aren't at the level of the Ancients & Ori, have got ships capable of intergalactic travel, & can easily travel from their galaxy to the Milky Way & back. And they have also given this tech to the SGC to use in the Daedalus-class ships, so now even humans can travel via hyperspace from one galaxy to another.
Or am I just thinking about this too much?
