If someone answered Ba'al that's evidence enough tbh, they get the nod of respect.

I'm not sure if I could even name ten distinct Goa'uld off the top of my head

  1. Ba'al
  2. Apophis
  3. Osiris
  4. Isis
  5. Hathor
  6. Seth
  7. Ares
  8. Yu
  9. Heru'ur (sp.?)
  10. Was Ra a Goa'uld?
[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

Ra was, the first one the Tau'ri added to their tally.

Just name random gods and you'll probably get it.

[–] SatyrSack@quokk.au 3 points 3 days ago

That's a good point. For someone who is not a mythology buff or anything, it would probably be more difficult to name off 10 obscure gods whose names were not ever used as Stargate characters.

[–] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Cronos, Nirrti, and Amaterasu are the only others I can remember off the top of my head.

[–] ShawiniganHandshake@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

I got to 17. I can add some (mostly) lesser Goa'uld to the list:

  1. Klorel
  2. Zipacna
  3. Tanith
  4. Camulus
  5. Sokar
  6. Anubis
  7. Nerus
  8. Bastet
  9. Imhotep

I forgot some I should've remembered like Amaunet.

Isis is mentioned in dialog but does not appear on screen. I don't recall Ares at all, though Chronos made a few appearances.

[–] SatyrSack@quokk.au 2 points 3 days ago

Ares is only mentioned in a single episode, when we meet his first prime. The only reason that obscure character came to mind here is because of that post I made here recently about that first prime.

Came to say exactly this.

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (2 children)

For non Stargate fans, with only a slight idea of what it's about, could you (or anyone else) explain the joke?

[–] SatyrSack@quokk.au 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)
  • The main antagonists in Stargate SG-1 are the Goa'uld, a species of parasitic aliens. Each Goa'uld we encounter is named after a god from some Earth mythology
  • One of the major villains in the series is Ba'al, a Goa'uld who is introduced in season 5 and continues to make several appearances throughout the rest of the series
  • In season 9, Ba'al clones himself. Throughout the rest of the series, the protagonists have to deal with countless clones who are just as intelligent and ruthless as the original Ba'al
  • Saying "Ba'al" here as an answer could technically refer to dozens of different individuals in the show at once. Granted, there is technically only one real original Ba'al who is not a clone.

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Tyvm!

[–] Cyv_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ba'al clones himself at one point, so there's at least 10 of him

[–] zedgeist@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

As in bocce?

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 2 points 3 days ago

Unironically true.
