Talk:Tau'ri

message: I'd like to change this back to "Tau'ri". It may be personal taste--I'm used to seeing it and hearing it that way, with the break between syllables. Also, "Tauri" makes me think of bulls...
Anyone else want to chime in with an opinion one way or the other? —wwoods 02:03, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: I remember in the episode where Vala formally becomes part of the SGC Landry and Mitchell said that she would be a probational SGC member, not specifically a member of SG-1. If that's so, then Vala should not be listed with Teal'c or Jonas as SG-1 non-Tau'ri members. Wl219 16:14, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I've made some additions to this section by elaborating on Earth's conventional (ie. real) Military capacity. I haven't tried to establish how effective entities such as the Australian Defence Force or the People's Liberation Army might be against a Goa'uld attack, since they are never depecited fighting any aliens. Basically I pointed out that we have millions of soldiers scattered across the planet with Tanks, Artillery, Combat Aircraft, Warships and of course Weapons of Mass Destruction that would at least pose some sort of obstacle to any invasion. 
P.S. They would likely be a massive obstacle to any attack, as discovery of an alien threat would no doubt lead every Army on Earth to change their priorities towards defence against external attack and hence change their entire defensive posture. Moreover, Jaffa go down to a brief burst of small arms fire even when wearing full armour, so their effectiveness against the massive numbers of trained Infantry troops they would face here is limited, let alone against Tanks, Artillery and Attack helos. The Gou'uld might have some counter-part to Tanks and the like that hasn't been shown, or alternatively they may never have seen the need to develop such weapons as they've never encountered them on the primitive or peaceful worlds they have conquered. The Kull warriors would be more of a problem.
:in the alternate reality seen in "There But Fore the Grace of God", Earth's militaries were apparently not very effective against the Goa'uld. fine, they would certainly kill some Jaffa on the ground, but the Goa'uld could wipe out entire armies from orbit and there wouldn't be a thing that all those tanks and attack helicopters could do about it.

replies: text: I would think our jets would do some damage since an F-16 was shown to be able to destroy a Alkesh in Insiders
Alkeshes, fine, but when a mothership would wipe out all Earth's cities, airfields and military bases from orbit... when the Goa'uld would want to occupy the planet, they wouldn't stand much of a chance indeed, but when they would want to blast us out of existence, the conventional military would don't even matter...

message: Where did that bit about the Asgard destroying Orilla and taking out several Ori cruisers come from? Last I checked Orilla isn't even in the Milky Way galaxy. Admittedly I've missed a couple episodes, but the idea that the entire Asgard race suddenly went extinct is unfathomable. I've not found any sources for it yet. Gateworld makes no mention of it.

replies: text: "Unending" - The Asgard destroy there planet as they're dying, very fast. The Odyssey is outfitted with lots Asgard technology and there knowledge databases. Orilla is not in the Milky Way, either. Matthew 18:06, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I was under the impression what the Ancient outpost in Antarctica was under the control of the IOA, not the Department of Homeworld Security, as stated in the IOA Wiki article.

message: The page lists the Phoenix as a 304, we don't necessarily know that for sure. And to stay consistent with the BC-304 page on this issue, I removed the ship from the list of Tau'ri ships. It shouldn't be listed until the actual episode airs since it isn't cannon until it is on TV. Pre-production information can change and shouldn't be used. - OracleGuy01 (talk) 19:44, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

message: "Also possibly "The Bulls" as Tauri is the plural form of the latin word for bull, Taurus."
How is this relevant? Tau'ri is a Go'auld word which is based in ancient Egyptian.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.223.213.122 (talk) 00:57, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't the Stargate Programme be merged into the Tau'ri article instead and not the other way around. This seems like a little more sense to me. Matthew R Dunn (talk) 19:22, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
