Myth Maker Part Two

GateWorld Talks With Robert C. Cooper



With the arrival of The Ark of Truth on DVD, the final chapter of the television series has finally been told. After seeing the film we had some questions about the Ori storyline that occupied the final two years of SG-1 -- so we went right to the source: Ark of Truth writer and director Robert C. Cooper.

In Part 1 of our in-depth interview Cooper discussed what it was about the Ori he finds so interesting, and what Season Eleven of Stargate SG-1 might have looked like. In the second half, he talks about the evolution of the Ori and their conflict with the Ancients, Daniel Jackson and the ethics of the Ark, and the controversial return of the Replicators.

Look for Stargate: The Ark of Truth now on DVD at stores everywhere!


A brief excerpt:

GW: Let's talk about Morgan a little bit more. Why did Morgan Le Fay go to the Ori galaxy? Did she follow the Odyssey there? We've talked in the past about how ascended beings are sort of located in space.

RCC: Yes. I think she was very conflicted about what to do. The last time she tried to help Daniel in a "guardian angel" capacity, in some type of interference, the other Ancients stopped her. She was pulled out of the Atlantis room in "The Pegasus Project." And I think that she has been following the team and walking the fine line of how to help us without breaking those rules again.

And so it was much like when Daniel was ascended and he appeared to O'Neill in the elevator in "Full Circle" to tell him about the device that Anubis was essentially gathering to make him powerful. He was walking a fine line there. He was acting like our guardian angel, O'Neill's guardian angel, and he was conflicted as to what he could and couldn't do. He ultimately ended up crossing the line as far as the other Ancients were concerned, and he was sent back and became human ("Fallen").
