A ponder to chew on for all you Stargate SG-1 fans

Nov 11, 2003 22:52

My mom and I saw a shooting star while driving home from work. And the *really* weird thought that popped into my brain after we saw it? How the hell did the Goa'uld (only spelled right) from Stargate get so damned advanced when there has been no evidence of scientists and what not among them? Just self-proclaimed gods. I mean, pretty much all ( Read more... )

Well, since the Goa'uld stole the Stargate technology (from The Ancients), who's to say they didn't steal the original ship-building technology as well?

I mean, they're not exactly a race that values science. More like "bow down before me, you ignorant thing!". All the scientists left and became Tokra.

Or something.

Yeah, I'm going for the "Hey, Joe, check out this thing I found!" theory.

Yes, definitely with the stealing technology.

But there are scientists among the Goa'uld. Niirti and Pelops, are two I can remember right now. Goa'uld are big on experimenting with hosts, and there have to be some that work to advance the tech they have stolen, as we have seen it advance during the the series.

Meh, headachey.

My take is that once in the distant past they did have more scientists and such, but over the eons devolved into the decadent "worship me" species we see in Stargate (meaning they were already decadent when they ruled in Egypt, too).

Cool question!

I'm guessing it goes like this:

Some Goa'ulds steal technology and torture the people they stole it from until they learn how it works. Then, the Goa'ulds have really nasty sex with another Goa'ulds and together they make slimy babies. Said slimy babies know everything their parents did at time of said nasty sex, so they don't have to send the kids to Slimy Baby School. This continues until they have Really Cool Technology.

How they got powerful enough to steal the cool stuff is a little more tricky, but I guess if you gather stuff slowly, it builds up.

Congrats on your tests! Hope you're head's better.

lol!

And now I'm picturing symbiot sex... There's lots of squirming and wiggling...
Wow do we have messed up brains.

And thankies! I was really really *really* relieved when I saw my score... Woohoo, my math grade remains safe!
