Something worth taking home 

Omg yes

The later seasons still had that but with a more expanded universe.

The Stargate is like a box of chocolates...

@@rotorheadv8 ...and there's always _some_ jerk that snags the nut-filled chocolates first.

Yea i remember loving the series when i was a simple atheist.

was the iris allready installed? that was on of the first episodes

@@momokochama1844 iris was installed first episode

They only needed to dialed the gate to connect to earth, they would have teleported the weapons through the iris

@@momokochama1844 yah like episode 5 or 8

The nox can override the iris

"Errand of Mercy." Star Trek season 1. Apparently primitive race turns out to be highly advanced & pacifistic.

😆 Thanks for the laugh. This time a literal LOL

"There is hope for them."

Future Kratos there. :)

Reminds me of a Star Wars Legends/EU where Luke Skywalker makes a whole planet go invisible, for the same reason.

Arthur's Mantle, how did I not realize how perfectly it fits their abilities? not only the things/persons go invisible, but also intangible. Like the weapons in the SGC personels' hands in the Tollan refugee episode...

Which episode was that (near the end of the series)? The phase shifting tech?

This was used in Atlantis just without the nox and just tauri force.

​@@The_Gallowglassand ppl wonder why legends/EU got scrapped... making a whole planet go invisible.... 😅😅

and we don't know how old Nox Kind is. or how close to leaving the material plane they have journeyed since the days of active counsel between the 4 great tribes. all we know is they are the first ones out of the counsel to make a full appearance followed by the Asgardians and the Road Builders

they're like a more naive version of Iain M Banks' the culture tbh, who at least recognize less advanced societies don't have the option to just "play nice" with superior aggressor powers

​@@override367the culture or at least special circumstance division of contact has no issue employing violence.

@@override367 Not really Naïve; later they conceal a weapons platform, for example, to save their allies, they just don't fire it. They're pragmatic pacifists.

There's always the temptation to write characters like this as insufferably arrogant asses, so the more "practical" hero characters can show they tread the middle ground better. (Sort of how the Tolon came off) But they didn't do that with the Nox. They wrote them as completely understanding the middle way, but still rejecting it, in very "human" fashion of debate and experience. The Nox didn't have an ideology, they had personal principals, and they stuck to them.

Just realized that quark

@@samuelgendreau4753 I didn't see it either... and now, I can't unsee it.

​@@perilousrangeit's not seeing, it's hearing. After seeing this scene, I had to look it up to see if it was Quark, and it is!

@@CountryLifestyle2023 the best story I've heard about him, was when he had to leave the set on an emergency basis, back on September 11th. Search it, totally worth your while.

​@@samuelgendreau4753ha me too! I kept expecting rules of acquisition....

One of the best episodes...just awesome!

@@VonSpud its the same story rewritten over and over again. It's like they are trying to tell you something? Lol

@@lovetheNorml they told me its an it's an interesting story... (lol)

The strong defends the weak line is the best

Yep, nothing more profound than finding out that a bunch of super-advanced, ancient aliens are just sitting around doing nothing while countless sapient beings are enslaved. Because, apparently, true morality is apathy and condescending aloofness in the face of unimaginable suffering...

Yeah I thought that was his voice

It is his voice. That's the same actor.

@@davidwuhrer6704lol no, look at his ears. They're regular-size.

@@KurtRichterCISSP I think, Quarks holo-suites are advanced enough to disguise his big ears too. 😉😁

😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Agreed. Beautiful moment.

The Stargate is like Star Trek starships -- a plot device that enables the explorers to seek new worlds and new adventures, and bring us along for the ride.

The original Stargate movie and the first seasons of SG-1 is where Star Trek meets Indiana Jones

I missed this series

I think he just played dumb to let others have their moment to shine or to show that they were actually morons. At least the way that RDA played him.

@@hokutoulrik7345 He was smarter than he let on, but he was also smart enough to know the limitations of his knowledge and when to defer to greater expertise. But he definitely used it against some people to give them enough rope to hang themselves.

@@shadenox8164 yup. A mark of a good friend and a good leader.

To quote Carter, O'neill had a special way of looking at things that others missed.

As Sam once said about him, O’niel lets people think he’s not as smart as he is.

''We don't need their _stuff_ , Makepeace. We do need _them.''_ _- Col. ''Jack'' O'Neill, ''Shades of Grey'' (S3E18)_

GOD IS WITHIN, JOURNEY INWARD FRIENDS.

Indeed it is! Kinda like the Furling too. ;)

They look like an advanced version of the Anccents

For the right stuff

As Teal'c would have put it: indeed. And they should have made some episodes about the Furlings.

We could have visited them with our instellar spaceships.

The Dude would like it there. 😏

It's the combination of the profound message, the nostalgia, and the amazing music. And Quark telling MacGyver to pound sand.

@@angrytvrobot6130They'll regret it the day that Murdoc steps on their soil!

it also requires an open mind able too see more than one way.

Mckenzie .Latham and it requires a special type of amorality to watch an entire galaxy be subjugated and enslaved and sit back and do nothing

Morality is a human made thing, i see no reason why it would or should apply to non human beings...

Mckenzie .Latham applies to both Asgard and the Ancients, races who were nominally allies of the Nox who would have tried to do something while the Nox sat back and let their allies die and dishonour there memory

As soon as the ancients ascended they did nothing for the galaxy, only oma and she was never allowed to do much under threat of being banished forever... The ancients were even willing to let Anubis wipe out all life in the galaxy becasue they refused to get involved. The Asgard took it upon themselves to act but they nor any other species was under any obligation or had to... and they saw humans as nothing more than simple animals that needed protection, like one does for a stray dog. Again honor and morality are human inventions.

DS9 had a lot more in common with SG1 and Atlantis especially, and Babylon 5 ofc...

Not really. Asgard and Ancients are far above them. LoL even Goa'uld learnt how to do "cloaking" and in the later seasons they managed to hide even motherships with it. The only feat that is actually unparaleled is their revival of Aphopis and even that could be done with Goa'uld technology(sarcophagus, which was derived from ancient healing device). Yes, they are certainly above most races, maybe even in TOP5, but certainly not the most advanced, nor the second.

​@@HanithSVK The Goa'uld scavenged literally ALL their tech, so they aren't even worth mentioning. "Advanced" is an odd term, as if we are talking pure technology, you'd be right. From an Evolution perspective, I'd argue the Nox are at the top with the Alterans. They literally can cloak, or heal, or dial the stargate, via their minds.

​@@KS-xk2so Can they though? I agree with Alterans(better said Ancients cause Ori were of the same origin, they split with Alterans cause of the religious views) but Nox? We have no idea if they abilities are natural or some form of tech advancement(artificial gene therapy or form of nanotechnology in their bodies or smt like that). But it is shame that they did not continue Nox storyline, cause all we can do now is guess. But let's just say you are right and they are the most advanced race currently in galaxy. Why they do not ascend? They are IDEAL race for it. They would be safe, their pacifism and non-interfence are EXACTLY the qualities ascended beings(like alterans) enforce. So why are they staying in the physical world? Even Asgard can open the gate without the "whoosh" as we saw doing Thor several times. Not to mention that we saw that Asgard has an ability to erase someone mind with just wave of their hands(as when they removed ancient knowledge from O'Neill's brain first time they encountered the that Repository). And technically, Tau'ri in the Stargate universe are also scavengers. Most of their tech is repurposed alien tech(asgard, Goa'uld or Ancient) so by this logic even Tau'ri should not be mentioned. Hell even Thor admitted, that some of the knowledge they posses were extracted from the Ancient Repository of Knowledge(and he also admitted that they are "studying it for as long as he remembers and they are still just scratchin the surface". Very few races achieved their technological level on their own(actually the only ones that come to my mind are Wraith, Tollans and Ancients(both Ori and Alterans)). (I am not counting SG:Universe cause i haven't watch it). But, in both Pegasus galaxy AND milky way, most space-travelling races were scavengers.

@@HanithSVK I'd assume the Nox haven't ascended because they don't want to. For an Alteran, a race so devoted to science, becoming the ultimate form of Energy would be a noble goal. Given the look and behaviour of the Nox however, we see they are deeply connected to the physical world and the nature that surrounds them. Perhaps that is why they have no interest in Ascension?

@@HanithSVK You're talking about a people that can just vanish things they don't want to deal with, not just make invisible, literally remove. Nox's cloaking technology also as far as we're aware has never been penetrated in any way. Even amongst cloaking tech, theirs is clearly the best, hence why not even Anubis could find them.

So they went the way of a Star Wars and kept updating the footage with every new “special edition” release…..

@@killbot86 I mean it needed it, tbh it looks so bad, don't get me wrong I get it's a TV show doesn't change the fact that it looks like shit

with context, when they heard they defend the weak, I think the Nox for a moment remembered the Asgard

I think the Nox are better kept a mystery.

The feeling I get is that the Nox achieve things not by means of technology but in another way, say spiritually.

Iam sure they came up more or less normal, but when they had godlike tech for who knows how long they just became tree hippies. Because they could afford it

That could also be the case.

any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. -Clarke's third law

they could also be nearly ascended. once they understand the universe they can manipulate it at will

ROFL

Dalaran? Someone playing world of Warcraft??

" A shame captain, it would have been glorious" -Kor.

And they forced a peace treaty between the Empire and the Federation, while both the Empire and the Federation thought they had to protect the Organians from the other.

The Federation and the Klingons rolled up on the Organians' ancestor simulation and started messing up their immersion so the Organians had to put a stop to it. "Dude, I was just about to hit level 90 Goatherd and you're messing with my xp gain... BanHammer for you, BanHammer for you, you, AND you."

Axel Foley I believe so

Deep Space N....ox?

Yep, and his brother works for him there too.

The Nox are to peaceful to be alcoholics. He probably runs a Mushroom lounge. An Opium den at absolute worst.

Both Q and Jelico turned out to be well... very much in character xD

Not forgetting everyones favourite holographic doctor.

Rene Auberjonois played not-Hitler

I mean, isn't that the whole allure of mysteries? To want to know more?

Well, it's the Nox paradox

SageMagnus Indeed.

I don't know, I never got that the Nox were pacifists, they merely thought of things so differently that we cannot fathom it.

"If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked long ago" ..

I love how unassuming the Nox were to everyone. They were seen as primitive because that's what they wanted people to see. That's the best kind of character.

Live simply? They live in a floating city with tremendous tech.

The decadent Nox have not suffered a cycle of difficulty: growth through pain and struggle, conflict and war.

@@imperialguardsman521you have their hidden lore ?

Joshua Sweetvale yep I never really liked the nox, the Asgard were by far my favourite

not arrogance, confidence. Many martial arts Masters offer the same advice. When one knows they are in the superior position, there is no shame in not fighting and walking away.

That's why they're so Noxious.

I don’t like them. They took their extreme pacifism to the point where they ignored the violence and suffering around them.

What new Stargate series? I literally googled "new stargate series" and what do you know, apparently there's talk of one in the works by Amazon. 🤔

Yes it is! Armin Shimerman. www.imdb.com/name/nm0001734/?ref_=tt_cl_t6

Good catch by the way, had not spotted that one myself.

I knew he sounded familiar!! Nice find!!

How the heck have I never realized that!?

That actor gets around

And while speaking of overdoing it, let's add Avery Brooks to that list. :)

@@SGtidbits It doesn't count, sorry, Captain's Prerogative, and you better pray the Prophets he doesn't beam you to the wormhole.

He can also play an authoritarian school principal with underlying inferiority issues like he was born to play it.

Macgyver. The Chellenge

Yep, Armin Shimerman.

SGtidbits Sweet! Thanks!

He was also principal snider in buffy tvs

Also the Principal in Buffy.

The best part is that I've used that line after imparting some wisdom to my friends and they've never questioned me about it (they don't watch Stargate)

We'll never make it past puberty.

This is also why I don't think aliens have contacted us. Who wants to talk to middle schoolers? XD

The age in which Space travel is common for everyday people is new, that will be our period of adolescence

Wisdom is a scam. Wise words will justify everything and it's opposite, not give any advice that is actually helpful for any given situation, but there is always some wise saying that applies in hindsight.

Well, plus, the early installment weirdness is just hilarious xD

The idea is cool. I suspect the first thing the Ashen would do is strike a deal with the Lucians. They would just hand over some of their tech to the Lucian Alliance and let them and the Tau'ri/Jaffa go at one another. And in exchange the Lucians would leave any conquered Aschen worlds alone. While they all fight no doubt countless worlds would end up in the crossfire and the Aschen could swoop in as their saviours. Heal the sick, defend them from staged Lucian attacks, rebuild their cities. Then they introduce their sterility vaccine as per usual to slowly conquer them. They could have dozends of Worlds subservient to them and only fight the Tau'ri/Jaffa once the Ashen have the upper hand. That could have been a great multi season arc.

The Aachen are hopefully eating black hole.

@@pchowardltd2437 It's more likely that they used a spaceship and got rid of their stargate in space.
