Talk:Ba'al (Stargate)

message: " I'm really hoping there'd be an article or Stargate sg1 reference, who how Baal began cloning himself, and why he did it in the first way. Perhaps, in order to preserve himself and to prevent himself from being killed, Baal forged an army of himself clones, to elude others from killing, the real Baal, in which he had found a way, to live freely, without worrying on the fact that someone is after his life. Making an army of clones, of yourself, in order to confuse your enemies into trying to figure out, which one, is the really the real you, is a perfected strategey, that many baddies, should consider, if they're into cloning that is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
What makes a clone less real, to the clone? 
In any case, this article is excellent prose, and with some more plot details fleshed in to hold attention, it might be featured article material.

thread_title:  Baal Clones 

message: As an above anon mentioned, the offical site has his name as Ba'al, just like the mythohistorical figure (aka, exactly as it should be).  Thus, shouldn't the Article name be changed to Ba'al (Stargate)?  For reasons I cannot comprehend, the title was originally that, but was redirected here.  At this point, I'm going to go through and edit the individual mentions.  If there is concensus, or if noone stumbles across this page, I'll change the title name back in a week. -- Huntster T • @ • C 07:26, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, after reviewing this article's page history, it seems there has been a mini-battle waged regarding his name.  Considering that, as of now, Scifi.com can be considered the canonical resource (not gateworld or any of the fansites), Ba'al is the official name, and I'll go ahead and change it thusly.  Please, don't move it back to Baal without a bloody good reason.  -- Huntster T • @ • C 07:25, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bite me(Article rename) 

message: Hello all, in the introductory paragraph, it says, "Ba'al is a Goa'uld based on the Ba'al of mythology."
Within the context of SG-1, shouldn't Ba'al be the Ba'al from mythology? I'm not sure at this time how to reword that sentence to better reflect that meaning. --Tachikoma 21:08, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, within the context of the show, it's the same person.   But the point of the article is that the fictional character Ba'al is based on the mythological character Ba'al.  But I agree that there has t obe a better way to say that.  --Tim4christ17 talk 19:02, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  question on Ba'al and mythology in intro 

message: Hey, it mentions in this article that the Baal who was with SG1 in the Season 10 "The Quest" episodes was killed by Ori soldiers, however I recently rewatched that episode and it looks to me that that particular Baal was in fact shot by one of the Ori's wrist mounted weapons, which are non-lethal. Whilst they may have simply finished him off there and then, isn’t it possible that Baal was in fact captured along with Daniel Jackson, and could be held captive by the Ori? Perhaps even on the very same ship as Daniel? --Anon 10:00pm, 20 January 2007--
I noticed this as well and have adjusted the article to indicate he was stunned and presumed to be killed.ColonelCurt 22:45, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Is it significant that, while it is pronounced 'ball' in the series, according to dictionary.com (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/baal) the Canaanite god is pronounced 'beyl'? User:Redshrike  —Preceding comment was added at 21:37, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
