* RuleOfSymbolism: It's revealed that Celestis is the Ori's planetary Vatican for a reason: It's the world from which the Alterans made their exodus from their home galaxy. The Book of Origin even references the Alterans' last redoubt as "Ortus Mallum" -- the birthplace of evil. Daniel agrees the symbolism makes sense; the Ori worshipers ''would'' build their holy city on the planet where they believed their gods had triumphed over their enemies.

* SchizoTech: The ancient Alterans: before leaving the Ori galaxy, they were living in what was apparently a medieval-level town, but were able to build an intergalactic starship, a device that brainwashed anyone who looked into it, and had preliminary sketches for the ''Stargates''.



* TakeAThirdOption: The Alterans, faced with the prospect of submitting to or being wiped out by the religious extremist Ori, decided instead to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere leave their home galaxy altogether.]]



* WhamShot: Amelius' notebook as the Alternas prepare to depart their galaxy. The open pages show the early schematics and sketches of what the audience knows will eventually become the Stargates and Stargate Addresses.

* GodzillaThreshold: Marrick defends the IOA plan to resurrect the Replicators because Earth has been on the losing side of an intergalactic war with the Ori for the better part of a year. The problem is that as soon as the Replicators have finished consuming the Ori fleets and their planets, they will do the same to the Milky Way.

** Even the Ark itself is this, given the ethical issues involved in brainwashing people even if they don't have another way to stop the Ori army. In defence of the Ark, Vala's words suggest that it can only make people believe something that is already true, suggesting that it requires actual evidence to make people believe rather than just changing their minds.

Added DiffLines:

* HateAtFirstSight: During their fight, Mitchell admits as much to Marrick. Considering the latter aided in resurrecting the Replicators to sic them on the Ori, it was fully justified.
