Why did I automatically believe the Ancients and not the Ori.
That is an interesting twist that they are attempting, but the Ancients never exterminated whole civilisations, and I trust Daniel to have spoken against them (unless they did something with his brain after he was acended.)
I thought that was a boring opening episode though. It is good that everything wasn't tied up in one episode. It looks the the Ori are the new ongoing enemy for the last season and beyond (if it moves into made-for-TV movies.) They don't seem to have there hearts in it any more. And I almost missed the fact that the new season had started. There was no advertising that I saw on Sky One.
Sam's rescue was too improbable, and the Adria aging years in hours is pulp scifi (how ever hungry she got! Or however much they altered her DNA.) They could have given her innate powers of speech and other memories, but the rapid development seems unlikely to be possible.
And why attack Chulak first? The Ori have the advantage of surprise. Go straight to Earth, knock out the only real resistance in our Galaxy (the real defeaters of the Goauld) before they have a chance to organise, then go back and mop up the Jaffa and the Lucian Alliance afterwards. The series would end much quicker that way though!
