[[WMG: The Tok'ra will one day save themselves by creating a blank queen]]
We've seen Goa'uld queens create "blank" Goa'uld (like Anubis was doing). With the fall of the System Lords, there's bound to be at least one Goa'uld Queen who'd be willing to do so for the Tok'ra (or at least Tok'ra posing as Goa'uld). Of course, at some point when making new Goa'uld, you must end up with new Queens, so eventually you would get a blank Queen. Being a blank slate, this Queen could be taught the values of the Tok'ra from scratch. In addition, any new Goa'uld that it created with the Tok'ra (note that at some point the non-Queen Goa'uld must pass their DNA on) would have almost entirely Tok'ra genetic memory (supplemented only by the memory of the time they'd spent teaching it their values).

[[WMG:Ba’al is still alive at the end of [[Film/StargateContinuum Continuum]] as he never travelled back in time]]
When SG-1 travelled back in time in [[StargateSG1S8E19MoebiusPart1 Moebius]], they were smart enough to leave themselves a message just in case something went wrong. Ba’al is a MagnificentBastard and not nearly as arrogant as most Goa’uld. He would have done the same.
When he arrived back in time in [[Film/StargateContinuum Continuum]], two versions of himself would have existed at once. Presumably, in the alternate timeline, at some point Ba’al had to either kill or incapacitate his younger self to stop him interfering with his plans (and so he could take his place). The fact that, when Mitchell kills Ba’al in 1939, the timeline goes back to normal suggests that his younger self was still alive at that point.
Ba’al preserved a mobile phone for half a century make to one phone call. The guy plans ahead. It’s probable that he didn’t just go straight to the ship. More likely, he made sure to go back in time early enough that he could set up a message somewhere so that, if things didn’t work out, he would eventually find it in the present (before he travels back in time) and know not to travel back in time.
The upshot is that Ba’al is still in the present (and alive) at the end of [[Film/StargateContinuum Continuum]].

[[WMG:Pre-ascension Ori already posed as gods]]
The Ori were apparently obsessed with religion while the ancients were obsessed with science. The question is, how did they get from there, to posing as gods? While it's true that not all religious people believe in a higher power, if you did believe in actual gods then you'd be a bit more worried about posing as one. There is of course the possibility that they were expecting to meet their deity of their choice after ascension, ascended and didn't meet them and it resulted in a fit of nihilism. Alternatively, the Ori were religious in the same way the Goa'uld and Jaffa were (some of them believed in false gods, others were false gods). Some Ori began posing as gods through advanced technology (note that, as advanced as they may have been, it doesn't mean there still couldn't have been varying levels of technology within their society) and getting the others to worship them. Some of them may even have been on the path to ascension, showing some early powers (possibly helped by some technology like Khalek was) and may have been able to tap into the energy from the people's worship, essentially promising to help people ascend along with them (as the post-ascension Ori would come to promise). In the end, the "gods" among the Ori were able to ascend but refused to help the people below them. Eventually, when the people below them began to doubt them and were no longer useful, they wiped them out and started again.

[[WMG: The Ori were never as highly ascended as the Ancients]]
In "[[Film/StargateTheArkOfTruth The Ark of Truth]]" at the start, the Ancients mentioned they were "so few" compared to the Ori. While it is possible the balance changed under time (this was pre-accension so there was certainly time for populations to have shrunk or grown) there's no reason to assume that the Ancients would now have an advantage in numbers. Having human worshippers supposedly added to the Ori's power and they had a lot of them. Even with the entire Ori galaxy's worth of worshippers, confronting the Ancients head-on wasn't worth the risk to them to just do it. The fact that they bothered with it though suggests the power they were getting from these worshippers wasn't insignificant, either. So even with a significant power boost and a likely numerical advantage, they were still far from guaranteed an easy victory over the Ancients in a straightforward battle. The Ori clearly expected to draw power from the people they converted in the Milky Way galaxy (otherwise, what's the point?). So when Adria lost her followers in the Ori galaxy, she still had all of the followers who were in the Milky Way galaxy and everyone who had been converted (which did include many planets) so her power was still being boosted by a non-trivial amount and she and Morgan Le Fay still just ended up battling on equal terms. This all suggests to me that in the same way there are different levels between human existence and ascension, there are different levels of ascension and the Ori were unable to obtain a level as high as the Ancients.

[[WMG: There was a gap of a few days in the middle of "[[Recap/StargateSG1S8E2NewOrderPart2 New Order, Part 2]]"]]
During the episode "[[Recap/StargateSG1S10E6200 200]]" a reference was made to a previously unseen event where O'Neill had been invisible. Teal'c had hair. Yet they spoke about Hammond's office. Teal'c didn't get hair until the start of Season 8. Hammond lost command at the end of Season 7. There's no overlap. That said, Weir was only supposed to be there temporarily and Hammond wasn't officially given a new position until "[[Recap/StargateSG1S8E2NewOrderPart2 New Order, Part 2]]" in Season 8. Out of loyalty to Hammond (and given he wasn't seen in the O'Neill invisible sequence) I think it's possible that they could have kept referring to the office as Hammond's office, even while Weir was in charge and that that's when that scene took place. The problem still remains that Jack was frozen, then on the whole adventure with the Asgard, then he found out about the promotion. There's no obvious place for that scene to go.
However, it's possible that between the scene on Orilla and the scene in Weir's office where Jack found out about the promotion, a few days had passed. Weir mentioned that he'd been given a clean bill of health "as far as the finest medical professionals on this planet are concerned" suggesting he'd at least had time for a thorough check-up. Why exactly he would have ended up on a mother ship during this time and gotten exposed to a cloaking generator, being turned invisible, then not even mentioning it isn't clear. However, this is the SGC, and weird stuff happens all the time so it might not have seemed that important. The whole cloaking generator thing may have ended up being a red herring any way, with the real reason actually being related to the ancient repository. In the same way he got healing abilities, invisibility may have just been an ability he got as side effect and his invisibility may have actually be a sign of him not being completely "cured" of the knowledge yet (with the other symptoms at a risk of returning as well). Once he got cured for real, then the scene in Weir's office took place.
Of course, there's also the possibility that the whole O'Neill invisibility thing was just something Carter made up (when her other ideas kept getting shot down) and the others played along.

Maybe their Ancient-ness was the criteria that made the Asgard consider them worthy of having a ship named after them.

As an example of where this seems apparent, in "[[Recap/StargateSG1S8E20MoebiusPart2 Moebius]]" (alternate timeline) Teal'c was confronted by some Jaffa from Ra's time. Even though he was speaking to Jaffa, he spoke in English. They responded completely in Goa'uld (maybe they understood him, maybe not, it wasn't clear). Again, it makes no sense from the perspective of translation convention. However, if these Jaffa from the past were naturally using archaic language while Teal'c being from the present was using the modern form of Goa'uld (mostly English) it makes sense.

[[WMG: These days, Goa'uld basically is English]]
Most of the time, when you see Jaffa or Goa'uld speaking they actually speak English with the occasional Goa'uld word thrown in, even if they're speaking to someone else who speaks their language. That's kind of weird, if you think about it. If they're speaking Goa'uld and it's just translation convention, all words should be translated to English. If they're speaking English, firstly that would be odd, secondly one wonders why they would slip in words from a different language. When Rya'c was getting married, he first introduced Kar'yn as his "sim'ka". She then told him not to use those old terms and said they were betrothed. What if the words we think of as Goa'uld words are, in fact, archaic/overly formal words such as whence/thou/thine? When it sounds like someone is speaking Goa'uld (as in all Goa'uld words), they are really just speaking "pretentiously" (so using a bunch of archaic words in a row). The Goa'uld are most likely to do so, both because of their fondness for melodrama ("thou shalt prostrate thy heart before thy god" just has a certain ring to it that "you will throw your heart to the ground before your god" doesn't) and because, due to their age and genetic memory, they remember when the archaic terms were more common. The Jaffa just do it without really thinking about it, in the same way you don't really notice that you're using Latin when you say "vice versa" or quoting Shakespeare when you talk about a "green-eyed monster". I figure due to their rigid culture, documents will generally use more formal, archaic terms (and just because they use English words doesn't mean they use our character set) which is why translation is still necessary. It would also go some of the way to explaining why so many people speak English (at least in the Milky Way).

[[WMG: The Nox were wiped out by the Replicators off-screen]]
The Nox weren't seen after the show's third season so of course by definition were never seen after the Replicator invasion of the Milky Way (Season 8). When the Replicators invaded the galaxy during "[[Recap/StargateSG1S8E16ReckoningPart1 Reckoning]]", naturally they concentrated on the Goa'uld but they also sought out the most advanced technology they could find. If they detected the Nox, they would have attacked them. While the Nox could hide their cities, the Asgard also had cloaking technology and yet they didn't employ it to try to hide their technology/people from the Replicators. I'd speculate that the reason for this is that the Replicators can scan through even advanced cloaking devices (such as Asgard cloaking devices). It's possible the Nox are more advanced than the Asgard (though less advanced than the Ancients) but likely that if the Asgards' cloaks weren't effective, neither were the Nox'. If the Replicators did find the Nox, there's no evidence that the Nox would have been any more capable of dealing with them than the Asgard were (in fact they would be a lot less prepared, having no mind for military strategy, no weaponry, a reluctance to destroy and since the Replicators would have learnt a lot from fighting the Asgard). The Nox would have been destroyed with the Replicators (hopefully) being destroyed soon after doing so (keeping in mind that they unburied their gate because of the Tollan and could have reburied it since, in which case the anti-Replicator beam would never have propagated through their gate).

[[WMG: Goa'uld developed their current abilities due to competing with the Unas]]
The Goa'uld would seem to be intelligent, even outside of their hosts. I'm basing this on the idea that Egeria was able to make decisions about what to pass on to her young and to sabotage tretonin even without having a host and the Tok'ra generally could make a decision about whether to take someone as a host and choose to enter through the mouth rather than the neck, suggesting it's not just instinctual. However, it seems strange that the Goa'uld would have evolved high intelligence given they started off just swimming around in water, unable to speak or alter their environment (so where high intelligence would serve no obvious advantage). My idea is that, while the first Goa'uld to take Unas as host may have just essentially been animals, they could have spent thousands, even millions of years taking Unas as hosts (at which point they could actually use language and alter their environment) before they evolved to a higher intelligence. In particular, Goa'uld in Unas hosts would have had to compete against regular Unas during this period. The first Goa'uld taking Unas as hosts may have just functioned as regular parasites (essentially living off the Unas). However, an Unas with a Goa'uld would be at a disadvantage compared to regular Unas and may get killed or even kill themselves and certainly wouldn't give the Goa'uld much chance to return its young to the water. They would need to develop the ability to control the host to prevent this. Once they could control the host, it would be advantageous for them to develop abilities which give them an advantage over regular Unas; higher intelligence, the ability to heal and strengthen the host, genetic memory so their young didn't need to spend time learning their skills. Naturally, as these skills developed, the Goa'uld who possessed them would become dominant.
The Goa'uld would seem to be intelligent, even outside of their hosts. I'm basing this on the idea that Egeria was able to make decisions about what to pass on to her young and to sabotage tretonin even without having a host and the Tok'ra generally could make a decision about whether to take someone as a host and choose to enter through the mouth rather than the neck, suggesting it's not just instinctual. However, it seems strange that the Goa'uld would have evolved high intelligence given they started off just swimming around in water, unable to speak or alter their environment (so where high intelligence would serve no obvious advantage). My idea is that, while the first Goa'uld to take Unas as host may have just essentially been animals, they could have spent thousands, even millions of years taking Unas as hosts (at which point they could actually use language and alter their environment) before they evolved to a higher intelligence. In particular, Goa'uld in Unas hosts would have had to compete against regular Unas during this period.

[[WMG: Everyone speaks English because of Janus]]
Basically, "It's Good to Be King" showed a prophecy up to the present day which suggested that the Time Jumper had at some point been used to travel to the present. This would have allowed the Ancients to learn modern English. Then at some point in history, they passed it on to the Goa'uld (who passed it on to the humans they transplanted) and maybe the Wraith and some Pegasus humans as well. The language stayed fairly static over time (rather than changing in the same way Old English became Modern English) due to the age of the Goa'uld and their genetic memory (essentially they all remember the language one way and hence keep it that way and force others to too). The Wraith, given their long life and hibernation periods, would similarly keep language fairly constant while the humans of Pegasus may intentionally do so (given gate travel is more common in Pegasus, it would be useful to maintain a common language for everyone).

** As a support to this theory, if Goa'uld means god in the Goa'uld language then it seems reasonable to think the Goa'uld called themselves something else prior to developing their god complex. They could have been Furlings. Perhaps the Goa'uld were an offshoot of the Furlings in the same way the Tok'ra are an offshoot of the Goa'uld (the same species but completely different personalities due to the genetic memory chosen to be passed on and they go by a different name). If the Ancients were used to dealing good members of the Goa'uld species, that could explain why Oma was taken in by Anubis' act.

* It's possible that due to the effect of accumulated genetic memory each generation of Goa'uld simply gets more evil, thus explaining why Yu (who was the oldest and thus from an earlier generation) was decent by Goa'uld standards, and Egeria created the Tokra (and she must have been at least old enough to predate all the Tokra) but no good modern Goa'uld were seen. As a consequence, maybe Anubis didn't actually do anything more evil than your standard modern Goa'uld but he did it back when Goa'uld standards were lower.

[[WMG: The Ori invasion of the Milky Way was a preemptive strike, believing Daniel and Vala's actions as an attack]]
When Daniel and Vala used the ancient device and revealed they were from another galaxy, the Ori might have seen it as the beginning of a foundation to undermine them. So, worried the Ancients might try something, or worried that their structure was in danger of collapsing, they made an attack on the Milky Way Galaxy to eventually fight the Ancients in order to protect their way of life.

[[WMG: Anubis was working working for the ancients]]
The ancients must have known that after leaving their technology scattered all over the galaxy, someone would eventually accidentally contact the Ori, who would then convert the galaxy and use the power gained from their worshipers to go after them. However, their agreement with the Ori is that they can't interfere. Their solution? Claim one of their people wasn't right for ascension and send him back to our plain of existence, then secretly have him find their technology and remove any reference to the Ori or how to contact them. Also, if the Ori ever find this galaxy on their own, it will be best if it is under one ruler who knows how to use all their more advanced technology. It also may not have been a coincidence that after the Asguard started giving the Tau'Ri technology that may have allowed them to accidentally contact the Ori by finding the Glastonbury cavern, Anubis became interested in the Dakara weapon. The Ancients were going to prevent the Ori from gaining more worshipers and using that power to kill them by eliminating the population of this galaxy.

*** As an addition to the above, I'd suggest the parasites from the TNG episode "Conspiracy" may have actually been Goa'uld or at least a related lifeform. Given both the Unas and Goa'uld apparently developed on the same planet, it's possible another lifeform did. Most likely, this species shared a common evolution with the Goa'uld and then split and diverged into two distinct species. Like the Goa'uld, they greatly increased the strength and regenerative ability of the host.
*** Also, as a fun note, though not actually explained, in the episode "Haven" from the first season of TNG there was a reference that, "An incoming vessel has bypassed our stargate, violating our law." The definition on Memory Alpha (the Star Trek wikia for anyone not a fan) is "A stargate was an entryway into a star system" but I suspect that's more of a guess (a stargate was the thing they bypassed when coming into the solar system; so it must be the entryway). I personally choose to interpret this as Haven being one of the few planets left with a working stargate in the 24th century and preferring strangers to travel there by that method (perhaps from a nearby planet also with a working stargate) rather than by a ship with weapons.

Think about it. Of all the pop culture references made in the Franchise/StargateVerse, ''Literature/HarryPotter'' isn't mentioned once. In the Franchise/PotterVerse, we have no idea where wizards came from; but it seems to be genetic, and the oldest era we know they existed in is... AncientEgypt. Yes, several ''Stargate'' characters have the Ancient Gene and never went to Hogwarts, but they could be Squibs that were given to Muggle families by disgusted wizarding parents.
