yay one of the best sci-fi legends was in this episode armin shimmeran (quark in star trek deep space nine) this episode was so cool i love the nox they are so amazing with their bring you back to life powers.

there great, also cause they can make things invisible, I wonder what other technologies they have other than being able to hide things!

Technology aside, I think this was one of the better written and carried out episodes ever. I know we all think of Oma Desala as Buddhist in nature, but does anyone else think that the Nox really are more Buddhist in outlook?

it was well wrote wasnt it one of the best i say.

I wonder how many of them there are? The Nox race I mean. And what do they do? And better yet, why were that family on the ground in the forest? Perhaps a family camping, but it was said that the old guy was one of the oldest and wisest, and presumerably a leader, so why was here roughing it I wonder?? (Man, more questions than a newbie here)

maybe the nox are spread out all over the universe.

question and why do you have so many questions cant you look them up on the official website or summin.

Much more fun to annoy you

hey i dont care gives me a chance to put my brain into gear and try and figure out the answers

Well you still haven't answered me What were those little guys doing on the ground? Perhaps they only floated the city when visitors arrive, putting the good china outa toddlers reach or something - ha ha haa....

If you remember the episode the old man said that they learned from their natural surrounds. It's almost like this was a lifestyle that particular family unit had chosen. So possibly many family units lived on the surface, while some lived in the city. I guess it just would depend on whether you were a Nox greenie or a Nox techie.

well some nox might like to live in the forest away from technology and where its more free and others want to live in the city where there is more protection and easier ways to find answers out.?

I do too wish that, they would do more on the Nox. They are just as masteryous as the Furlings, sounds qute and fuzzy to me, what ever the fuzz might be!!!! That little Nox kid likes Jack. But sometimes the young don't always lesson. Enough of this falldaraw. I like the Nox

I thought the same as you ussshorty (about the greenies and the techs) but if this is the case I wonder why then Lya is always the one to come? Surely there'd be someone better suited to liase with the galaxy??

well there is a possibility that shes experianced or familiar with both technology and natural sources.

I think that they're doing it for the sake of seeing someone you know - you know, that continuity thing?

Either that or perhaps there are only a few dozen Nox left and she's the only one who will trust the humans enough to interract with them? Or maybe she's just been designated the ambassador/ambassadress as she has already "speaka da lingo"?

yeah just like with the tokra you had jacob,anise or martouf turn up so theyd be familiar to the audiance.

Perhaps some Nox are selected to be caretakers fo the planet and of the old ways. This family could have been one of these. Someone has to protect that giant bug the Goaulds are always hunting..........stupid Goaulds....they've been looking for it's secret for centuries and we tauri figure it out on our first trip.

That hardly implies intelligence on our part now does it? I mean the only way we figured it out was by being killed, surely you're not suggesting a conscious decision

well maybe some of them live in the forest to protect it and warn the colony of any danger.

Strange thought just strikes me, could the Nox be the guardians of the Ancients/Furlings??? All the pacifist talk is just a front. They wield the real power in the galaxy.

well it is a possibility i mean theres no way to be certain but it is a possibility.

Yeah, been thinking of that idea of mine for a few days now. The Goa'uld appear to be the bad guys, but possess very little power in reality - alot of beings are able to kick snake-butt. The ultimate power in the galaxy must lie with someone. Our little furry friends???
