The Goa'uld on the other hand were flamboyant and arrogant and even charismatic. You wouldn't root for them -- most of the time -- but they were damn fun to watch (and to see defeated).
- delecti 5y agoAnother point in the Goa'uld's column is the gradual build of them as threats. At the beginning of the early seasons, Earth was only barely on their radar, and the characters tried to keep a low profile, but things escalated and they developed allies. At the beginning of season 9 the Ori show up and are comparatively static threats for the next 2 seasons and a movie.

- laumars 5y agoYeah, the hierarchy of the system lords created an interesting political depth to the show but without falling back on the Star Trek cliche of long boardroom meetings and negotiations (which I do personally enjoy as well but that’s more of an acquired taste).
