      It's not actually true that in Stargate universe societies with wind power tech at most could traverse galaxies. The stargates operated in Milky Way with seven chevrons but needed external power source to use the 8th chevron to dial a gate in another galaxy. The power requirements were immense do dial other galaxies were immense, e.g. using a ZPM.

    The best part of the Ori religion was that the various passages of the Book of Origin quoted by priors were usually, in some way, correct - the book was compiled by the Ori themselves, after all, and they must have realized that using fundamentally true things to justify untrue ones strengthens the faith considerably.

      I adore the way the show demonstrates this. On multiple occasions, Daniel uses the Ori's own words against their priors. Talking about how the Ori preach goodness and temperance, all while the Priors act like tyraniccal torturers. It doesn't change their mind of course, but it hits so close to home where religious words written perhaps with the intention of doing good, are twisted and used to support evil acts.

Really added an interesting dimension, and made them even more scary imo

Christian-coded in their aesthetics, but I honestly think that's just more due to the cultural biases of the writers than a statement of their actual belief.

    I’d love to see more of the alteran split. I’ve always imagined they were a caste based society, ranked on progression towards ascension according to the teachings of the Holy Book: origin.
    Supreme were a priestly caste charged with guiding the evolution of their race. Below them were a caste of scientists and philosophers, their task was to discover and invent new technologies. Over time the scientists made discoveries that contradicted Origin. They presented their findings to their people... the Priests did not take it well.
    They condemned the scientists and turned all the other castes against them. Faced with war against their entire race the scientists chose exile and They became the ancients.
    Both races eventually ascended but with their superior understanding the ancients reached higher levels. The Ori couldn’t stand that, the idea there were things they might be wrong about was a direct attack on their beliefs. Lacking the power to win the Ori resorted to draining energy from lower beings to equal the ancients.

    It also makes sense that with the Ancients there would be those who would disagree with the mainline populations beliefs and plans, so the fact that the Alterans are technically separatists who left is highly amusing given that the "Separatists" eventually managed to make galaxy changing tools and weapons.

    It would have been interesting if the Wraith had found out about the Ori Galaxy (or vice versa) and gone there thinking "yummy, lots of primative Humans to feed upon" and both sides got a rude suprise.
    And what if either group had been discovered just a few decades earlier by the System Lords.
    Or either group came up against the Replicators.
    Then there's that super advanced Human civilisation which had no knowledge of Stargates, that secretly uses dropping the birth rate to take over planets. They would have a interesting time as well with other factions as they were powerful enough to wipe out all Goa'uld quickly in a alternate timeline, while being very good at being duplicitous, they may have been able to play the Ori.
    Really, Stargate Command should have just stayed in the Milky Way Galaxy for a while and consolidated their victory. A century or two to stabilise things, get a galactic alliance going and incorporate all the new tech and make a advanced Earth (that knows the secret) the centre of a new 'Federation', as well as dealing with all the problem civilisations within the galaxy.
