    Has anybody been watching this season's shows with the new menace, the Ori?

    Daniel and Vala have been saved from the fanatical Ori followers, but — because their savior is an Ori priest and they're still trapped in "borrowed" bodies in a distant galaxy — they're not exactly home-free. Instead, the priest transports them to the Ori's holy realm of Celestis, where Daniel begins to uncover the secrets of the mysterious gods.

    What he learns is not reassuring. The Ori seem to be Ascended beings who believe that they deserve unquestioning worship and devotion from all humans. They also consider the more benevolent teachings of their Ascended rivals, the Ancients, to be evil.

    For millennia, the Ancients have protected the humans of the Milky Way from domination by the Ori, but Daniel's activation of the communications device has alerted the Ori to the vast numbers of unbelievers in Earth's home galaxy. As a result, the Ori have begun to send out missionaries, called Priors. Armed with the power of their Ascended masters and convinced that heathen lives are worthless, the Priors' goal is to convert the entire galaxy to the worship of the Ori — by any means necessary.

    Remind you of anyone?

    Yes, indeed. Some of the verbage of the Circuit Overseers Priors is really creepy. I remarked to my 'never-been-a-jw' wife how similar their 'only True path' message is to JW's. Their intolerance of any dissension is the same, too.

    It makes me wonder if some of the actors or writers on the show have in mind JW's, Mormon's and other high-control religions.

    Is it too late in the season to start watching? Would my mate and I be lost? Would we still get the basic connection of the Ori being the only "right" way to worship?

    The season just ended and I think re-runs from that season start next week on Friday at 7 pm CST. (this week 7-9 is the SG-1 Atlantis finale) Check TVGuide online.

    The Ori segments are eerily reminiscent of the WTS so beware.

    and the final revelation that the ORI are CON ARTISTS who suck the life force out of their victims for their own use and offer nothing

    but slavery in exchange despite all the promises. also sounds WAY too familiar
