I really liked this episode, I really wish we could have seen more of the Nox during the course of the series and not just the female Nox. I think it would be awesome if they could revisit that world next season.

I do like the Nox and the episode. It's been so long since I've seen that episode that maybe someone can answer this for me.

If they were hiding their city in the clouds (I think that's what it was), why were they running around and have what seemed to be a small make shift house/hut on the ground. Why not just stay hidden?

[Colonel Carter]

I would imagine they were curious about the humans. And since they brought them back to life, why not? With all their power and abilities I seriously doubt they were afraid of them.

The Nox
What did you think of the episode as a whole? How would you rate it out of a possible ten stargates?

What did you like best and least about this ep? Best and worst lines?

Any particular thoughts about the characters, main and supporting?

Any other observations or comments?

For me I think this was a great episode when they go against the jafa and they die instead there alive they think there in heaven it is really interesting if you have not seen this episode you should watch it

Loved it. I love their culture, their look, and the way they act. I always smiled when Lya (I think that's her name?) showed up in other episodes. I'm a sucker for back story though and I loved how the Nox were a part of the original 4 races. That makes them special. Though I do have to say, it would have been really interesting to see how the Nox would fair against the Priors.

I so wished they had more storyline with the Nox. I did enjoy this episode, a lot. It's on my top 10 favorites for the entire series.

oh and i forgot to mention that theres not enough fighting in this episode the nox must be racist agianst war I couldnt handle living like that im not saying id go for war than peace but we need some action in the shows and i give it 9 stargates.

[yukitoyu22]

They aren't racist against war. Racism is about race. The Nox are Pacifist. They existed (pacifists, not the Nox) in real life. Lots of people believe in non-interference and no war.

Okay I get you know I was confused a little bit at first but I get it now
