So imagine living peacefully on some backwater planet. Nice little community. You are fit and healthy and happy. Then one day you get scooped up by a jaffa raising party and end up being used as a host for a Goa'uld. But not a system lord or his heir, but some grease ball underling and you watch in horror, trapped inside your own body, as this thing eats and eats and turns you into a wheezing, sweaty mess over centuries. Pure.fucking.horror
@@kempekemps6384 oof. That would not be fun. But on that thought, do you think his tastes in food would change with each person since our tastebuds are different?
Well at least you won't have to live the rest of eternity watching in horror as the Goa'uld uses your body to murder people en mass like Apophis's host had to.
@@kempekemps6384 I don't think the sarcophagus would bring the host back to a healthy weight, but it probably can heal any damage as a result of the symbiote being a lazy fatass.
I really liked Nerus. Not only was he a real-life Hedonismbot, but he was also an indication that the Goa'uld weren't all the same and that there was some diversity in their nature and possibly culture. I think it would have been interesting to see more non-System lord Goa'uld.
Heck, there was even a system lord who was different from the others. Remember Lord Yu? Honestly, I get the feeling that we didn't really get to see all the system lords anyway. Obviously, by Continuum Ba'al was the last of them, but there's definitely more major gods in mythology than just the system lords we saw. And there was even a few we did see but basically didn't see much of. Here's the ones that popped up at some point: Afa, Polynesian Storm God, only ever mentioned. Amateratsu, Japanese Sun Goddess, only appeared once where she was involved in negotiations in an attempt to forge an alliance with Earth against Ba'al. Anubis, Egyptian God of the Dead, big bad for multiple seasons. Apep, Egyptian Demon, only mentioned (fun fact: Apep used Unas as hosts rather than humans) Ares, Greek Olympian God of War, popped up in that one episode where Colonel Mayborne was the king of a planet. Died in that episode. Atum, Egyptian Sun God (pre-Ra), only mentioned. Ba'al, Phoenician/Canaanite God of Fertility, Thunder and Rain, big bad for Season 8 and Continuum. Bastet, Egyptian God of Cats, appeared during the System Lord summit to decide whether Anubis was allowed to rejoin the System Lords and didn't really appear again except to be killed by Ba'al's Kull warriors. Used to use cat-like Sekhmets as hosts. Balor, Irish King of Giants, only mentioned. Belus (historically known as Bel Marduk), Babylonian God of War, only mentioned. Camulus, Gaulish God of War, involved in alliance negotiations with Earth against Ba'al, also sought asylum on Earth after his forces were destroyed. Chronus, Greek Titan and father of the Greek Olympian Gods, recurring minor villain. Dagda, Irish High God, only mentioned, served Balor. Diancecht, Irish God of Healing, only mentioned. Egeria, Roman Water Nymph, Mother of the Tok'ra. Hathor, Egyptian God of Love and Fertility, recurring minor villain, was a real nasty piece of work. Heru'ur/Horus, Egyptian God of Vengeance, minor recurring villain early in the series but otherwise completely insignificant. Indra, Hindu King of Gods, only mentioned. Ishkur, Babylonian Storm God, only mentioned. Isis, Egyptian Mother Goddess of the Sky, was imprisoned in a jar. Kali, Hindu Mother Goddess of Destruction, was seen at the System Lord Summit, never seen again. Kur, Sumerian and Assyrian Dragon Lord, only mentioned. Marduck, Babylonian God of Creation and Fertility, was so evil that even the other Goa'uld couldn't stand him, ended up in the head of a Russian SG Officer. Manannan mac Lir, Celtic Sea God, only mentioned. Moloc, Phoenician/Canaanite Sun God, appeared in one episode where he eventually took a laser-guided missile to the face. Morrigan, Irish Goddess of Fertility and Battle, appeared at System Lord Summit and never appeared again. Nirrti, Hindu Goddess of Death and Corruption, minor recurring villain who attempted to sabotage the Protected Planets Treaty Summit on Earth. Ollathair, Celtic Father of the Sky, only mentioned, was actually kind of a good guy in a sense. Olokun, Yoruba Deity, killed by Ba'al's kull warriors. Osiris, Egyptian God of the Afterlife, freed by Sarah Gardener, who he immediately took as a host, was eventually sucked out of Sarah Gardener's head. Pelops, Greek Hero, never actually appeared but was mentioned on multiple occasions. Ptah, Egyptian God of Creation, mentioned several times, developed the ships used by the Goa'uld. Ra, Egyptian Sun God, if you don't know what happened to him then what rock were you living under? Setesh, Egyptian God of Storms, Deserts and -James Bond Villains- Evil, set up a cult on Earth and was eventually busted by SG-1. Shak'ran, Unknown, The first Tok'ra, only mentioned. Sobek, Egyptian God of the Nile, only appeared in comics. Sokar, Abrahamic Satan, big bad for one or two seasons. Svarog, Slavic Sun God, System Lord Summit. Thoth, Egyptian God of Knowledge and Writing, was the entire reason for the Goa'uld's insanity as he invented the Sarcophagus, then rebelled alongside Anubis. Was killed by SG-1. Tiamat, Babylonian God of Chaos, only mentioned. Tonatuí, Aztec Sun God, killed by Teal'c. Vritra, Hindu Serpent Spirit, only mentioned. Zeus, Greek Olympian God of Lightning and the Sky and ruler of the Olympian Gods, only mentioned. Of these system lords that have appeared, only Anubis, Ba'al, Hathor, Osiris, Ra and Sokar actually played significant roles in the series. And this list is only a small number of mythological figures they could have used. There was a LOT of wasted potential with many of these other system lords, and a lot more they could have added as well.
@@wsconsn I don't think they were forcing the hosts mind into virtual oblivion like the Goa'Uld do, but even in a symbiotic relationship, I got the impression they definitely saw themselves as the superior half of the blending. Would be like an internal conversation. "Let me do the talking, I'm the smart one"
I remember there being a Goa'uld spy, who faked letting the host speak. If I recall, they were aware he was a spy It's been awhile, so my memory might be fuzzy
I have always wondered if this was a reference to the one Nero Wolfe episode where he's infuriated to learn he's being served chicken instead of a game bird due to the war rationing going on in the episode.
And while on the subject of dealing with CHICKEN It would be Justice if a Jiffa raiding party raided and destroyed a modern KFC chicken store here in the USA for their messing with the original recipe. Nowadays it is simply just Black Pepper, Salt, and MSG
@@Jokie155 Yeah funny thing is, I always thought Apophis made a better Devil, rising from the dead and conquering Hell, etc...As far as evil gods went, he was always the best at being, well, an evil God. The other System Lords always seemed more like bad sci-fi villains than Gods. Though You're still right, Anubis was pretty bad-ass in the evil department.
They ask Teal'c for any Jaffa half-information he can offer about Nerus. Standing beside Teal'c is Vala. Former host of the Goa'uld Qetesh, a bitter enemy of Ba'al who should know all about Nerus.
I'm not sure the host keeps all the Goa'uld's memories.....it's mostly Tok'ra who've been shown to do this, and they share their minds which the Goa'uld don't do.
Teal'c was the Primus of Aphophis, a System Lord, for easily 50 years. And still has solid connections to the Jaffa Rebels/Free Nation. Qetesh was a minor Goa'uld and Vala tries to not remember the whole thing too much. So it makes sense that Teal'C is still the primary source, but Vala can weight in at any time. All she choose to add was "have you see his dietary requirements?"
If you rewatch the episode, Vala does speak up several times about Nerus, General Landry doesn't want to hear it at any point. Though, Vala doesn't help her case by being dramatic about it. Her words boil down to "You don't want to trust him" and "You'll regret not listening to me when I said not to trust him". Really, in this, they SHOULD of listened to Vala, but she wasn't the most trustworthy at this point, with most of her goals being entirely self-serving. It was when she 'sacrificed' herself to destroy the Supergate that they finally realised she meant well
You may laugh, but it wasn't that long ago that any meat-based protein WAS a rarity in many peoples diets Chickens would get used for every ounce of protein, and when there was no meat left on the carcass they'd throw it in the soup pot to wring every calorie out of the dearly departed
All of what the others have said is true. Chickens actually used to be very skinny with very little meat on them. We bred them to be plump and meaty. Fun fact, lobster used to be so worthless we served it to prisoners.
Love this series I found this food loving Goa'uld very entertaining pity he couldn't be in more episodes. RIP Maury Chaykin you did an amazing job with this character. That facial expression after Landry threatened him with hunger says it all.
Evi1M4chine Without copyright, everything you make belongs to everyone who wants it. If you paint a picture, it's free for everyone to use. If you make a song, you won't ever make any money from it. If you spend countless hours making a computer game, anyone can take it and you won't get a cent for it. Is that a society that you would want to live in?
Nerus: "What would possibly compel me to do that?" Gen. Landry: "Hunger." Nerus: "I have just pissed in my pants, and nobody can do anything about it."
Oh wow! That Dances with Wolves reference though! Didn't realize it until I read this comment where I'd seen him in film before but it just hit me like a ton of bricks!
I met this guy once at a Chinese food buffet when I was a kid, on Vancouver Island. Seemed nice, I recognized him and tried to say hi but was so nervous because I thought it was rude.
He's a really good actor, I love that self-pitying martyrdom look on his face when he talks about Landry sentencing him to death, changing to horror when he realized he'd be starved. He was a keeper, they could've used him in more episodes as comedy relief.
Super larger than life character portrayed by a much loved and much missed actor. One of my favorite Goa'uld. (Hathor is still my Goddess though) Suanne Braun still looks amazing to this day.
You know, if Nerus had shown up in the pilot episode he'd probably be followed by a mix of 20-something concubines and 8-year old boys carrying pounds of Coke on gold trays. But since this is season 8, he's impressed by turkey and seedless grapes.
Well, he was minor nobility. Maybe he only had a little planetoid to lord over, and no budget for boys and concubines - that wouldn't be surprising, considering he probably spent half of all his riches on food alone.
For all we know, Nerus just offered his host the deal of eating like a savage animal and somehow not instantly dying of several coronaries which they accepted.
If there was one Goa'uld that i could see living a nice life on Earth it would be Nerus. I could see him owning a nice house in either Beverly Hills or Seattle, Tampa or Miami wearing fancy suits riding in nice cars and eating at 5 star restaurants. Heck Nerus would probably own his own Restaurant or 5 or 10.
The REAL Irony: Vala warned them at the beginning not to trust him but they didn't listen to her, yet they were saved when Vala just took matters into her own hands and prevented the supergate from forming.
Nerus: (laughs) what could possible compel me to do that? Landry: Hunger (smiles before walking out like a badass) Inside Nerus’ head: Hunger?... wait... oh s(not safe for little Nox)
I have always imagined the dialog at area 51 going something like this Nerus How dare you serve me this Meal Ready-to-Eat Guard at Area 51 According to the Geneva convention prisoners of war are to be given 3 meals a day. Nerus But I can not eat this it tastes horrible Guard We did not say they had to be tasty meals
@@BillyBoze Just because someone's not covered by our laws doesn't mean we should be bastards. That was kinda a big point in the introductory episode of the Tollans.
What if this dude's host was like really into fitness and staying in shape and eating well. And feel like the last couple centuries all he's been doing is destroying his dude's body.
He was the late Maury Chaykin. A great character actor, and he made a pretty great detective Nero Wolfe back in 2000-2002. Best at the role since William Conrad did it two decades before.
1:26 While this is not a really important exchange, it serves a very important role. We're in season 9 (or 10?) and it is well established that Goa'uld can talk in a normal voice. So why include it? Of course, it's the writers trying to explain newer viewers what's happening. The Goa'uld have been relegated to minor antagonists, so they don't appear very often, so you need those scenes to reestablish them.
Nerus has been on Earth before this, I saw a documentary where he was at Sundance Film Festival and got really mad at Vinny Chase for not selling him Queen's Boulevard
Judging by his size when he was eventually released, I am guessing the Nerus did in fact spill the beans on many Goa'uld technological secrets! No doubt firming up the technological gap between human society and their race who have been toying with advanced technology for Millenia!
@@tonynelligan1930 The Goa'uld got some Asgard tech when Anubis downloaded Thor's mind into his ships computer temporarily. Humans got some Asgard tech over the years in small amounts, and then inherited all of their knowledge when the Asgard race died.
Chicken seems trivial these days; but once it was rarely eaten because eggs were a reliable source of meat. Like how cows were kept for milk and labor, like pulling a yoke. Then other things like lobster were the food of the poor. Hilarious how circumstance can change these things.
It's mentioned that after a certain point, the host has usually become completely insane, as humans aren't meant to live as long as Goa'uld sarcophagi can extend our lives to, in addition to the constant suppression of their will and memories. Just look at how whacked Daniel was after a couple weeks using one, and multiply that by centuries it millennia.
![The Downfall of the Goa'uld System Lords [Part 2]](/img/n.gif)
"Hunger"
Man, that face shift was _epic_ ! :D
It looked like real fear paired with the realization of the gravity of the shitstorm he was in
like with the last picture, "This doesn't fuck with me."
"Hunger"
**close up of Nerus**
Narrator : It was at that moment that Nerus realized he was up shits creek... without a paddle.
@@Shiirow Narrator: Or as Nerus used to call them, "Boat Spoons"
That dude is a fantastic actor
“We don’t have to talk that way” is one of the biggest revelatory shockers in the whole series and absolutely hilarious! 😂😂😂😂
We've known they don't have to do that since we met the tokra in season 3
In season 1 a Goa'uld possessed Kawalsky and used his human voice to trick everyone
Peter Williams’ regular voice is incredibly shrill. So it’s no wonder that he never opted to speak except the baritone goauld voice.
Ba'al spoke normally too.
Kind of wish more Goa'uld dropped the booming voice and glow eyes act. They all felt exactly the same barring a few characters.
So imagine living peacefully on some backwater planet. Nice little community. You are fit and healthy and happy.

They were not ahead of Ta'uri in that sense. They were only using the Ancient's technology and anything they upgraded was militaristic.

Super larger than life character portrayed by a much loved and much missed actor. One of my favorite Goa'uld.

Sorry. Qetesh is mine.
Nerus and Landry played off each other so well, almost like a Laurel & Hardy skit, made these couple episodes worth watching

his death was good though
who killed him?

“But I’m so interesting”?
Just as well though. The actor who played him--Maury Chaykin--died about a year later.
1:32 "oh we don't HAVE to talk that way.." everyone's face was "wha.."

*Nerus* : Ya got me there.
"What could possibly compel me to do that?" "Hunger!" Checkmate.
"This arrangement is only going to work if you actually do Something!"
But enough about my third wife
his face at the end says pretty much "yeah that might actually work"
"hunger"
"yeah.... that might do the trick"
Amazing tribute to an amazing actor
0:17 Lmao Daniel looks so pouty when he swipes the binder from Vala
What if this dude's host was like really into fitness and staying in shape and eating well. And feel like the last couple centuries all he's been doing is destroying his dude's body.
The actor that played Nerus also played the guy who pissed his pants in Dances With Wolves.
It's Mr. Creosote..
Lol the guy that played him was perfect.
He was the late Maury Chaykin. A great character actor, and he made a pretty great detective Nero Wolfe back in 2000-2002. Best at the role since William Conrad did it two decades before.
Yep he was, sadly he died in 2010. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maury_Chaykin
Too bad he passed away. It took a bit, but I remember him from WarGames. "Mister Potato Head!"
Nero wolf and his gourmet spread, how drill I expect Archie is lurking around somewhere 😋
The person i really feel sorry for after Nerus visit is the SGC's plumber.
"We don't HAVE to talk that way!"
How is that a surprise for the Tau'ri?
They already met undercover Goa'Uld, who spoke with normal voices.
Well, it was Mitchell who said it. He's a bit new to the team.
And it isn't something they encounter very often, and probably not expected from one known to be rather egotistical.
Hunger. Nerus' face - yeah, that'll do it.
1:26 While this is not a really important exchange, it serves a very important role.
We're in season 9 (or 10?) and it is well established that Goa'uld can talk in a normal voice. So why include it? Of course, it's the writers trying to explain newer viewers what's happening. The Goa'uld have been relegated to minor antagonists, so they don't appear very often, so you need those scenes to reestablish them.
I like how in the beginning, Teal'c and vala aren't breathing heavily at all
This is Nero Wolf! Not just the same actor, but basically the same character. Just, instead of being a 1930's detective he's, well, a Goa'uld.
Nerus has been on Earth before this, I saw a documentary where he was at Sundance Film Festival and got really mad at Vinny Chase for not selling him Queen's Boulevard
Considering they were playing basketball, I thought teal'c said that Nerus "served ball", as in, Nerus could absolutely wreck the court.
'As in Bocce?'
Dammit Barb!
"Your voice just changed."
"Oh, we don't have to talk like that"*laughs*
Daniel: wait, what?
Judging by his size when he was eventually released, I am guessing the Nerus did in fact spill the beans on many Goa'uld technological secrets! No doubt firming up the technological gap between human society and their race who have been toying with advanced technology for Millenia!
It was great how they got rid of him later in the show. "How did you get a tracking device on him?" "It was a piece of cake!"
why they have all the agard tech?
@@tonynelligan1930 The Goa'uld got some Asgard tech when Anubis downloaded Thor's mind into his ships computer temporarily. Humans got some Asgard tech over the years in small amounts, and then inherited all of their knowledge when the Asgard race died.
@@SardonicALLY right which was why they didn't need the toad and gave him to the tokra and they sucked that snake right out of him and stepped on him.
"firming up the gap" did you just comment on his flabby backside
I asked you a question! SERGEANT!
*draws sidearm*
"Oh" :(
Chicken seems trivial these days; but once it was rarely eaten because eggs were a reliable source of meat. Like how cows were kept for milk and labor, like pulling a yoke.
Then other things like lobster were the food of the poor.
Hilarious how circumstance can change these things.
who else would have wanted to c how Jack would react/deal with him?
Yeah I really miss him in season 9 and 10
Yeah, the pun war would have been hilarious.
Oh crap! Hunger, my one and only weakness
Hope you enjoyed that feast, your next meal(s from now on) will be something we like to call Prison Meat Loaf
Hey, meat loaf is good, they should give him mystery meat instead.
@@Great_Olaf5 What do you think Prison Meat Loaf is made from? Hint: It's not Prime Steak
@@FerretJohn Ooh. Missed the prison part.
Ei Vituta! Finns understand that.
Oh look, it's Nero the Goa'uld...
LMAO
I do wonder what that appetite of this Nerus has to do with the real mythological Nerus
The Tagline told me where that was ending .
We still have important matters to discuss. Like more chicken.
General ! join me while he is holding an egg
I love "We don't have to talk that way." the Goa'uld are all just LARPing nonstop pretending to be gods and they think that's how a god sounds.
I honestly don't know if Hammond could have said it better
I really wanted to hear them ask him directly what the hell a ripened egg looks like
I remember this part
2:30 Love it when the egg gets smacked out of the fat guy's hand by a US military member.
04:22 closest translation to this is "Not pissed off"
We've all been there 2:12
Seasons 9 & 10 really jumped the shark - for the most part. But compared to the crap they make now, they're like Shakespeare.
What is this...a scene that belongs in 'Lost in Space'
i know it was probably loosing is umph , but i miss new SG1 episodes :(
I wonder if Calus from Destiny 2 was based on Nerus.
Hunger works wonders and a few hard boiled eggs at every meal.
Nerus sees Epic Meal Time
Halarity Ensues.
Torture method. Show it to him while he's _hungry._
Nerus or Nero Wolfe! Hunger would make either of them VERY sad!
an emeny yet they leave 2 big ass knives in the chicken and no guards
LOL
They should do that in the real world.... Your punishment: HUNGER
he officially has the hungers bahd
I forgot how hot Claudia Black is.
Damn.
Why does every channel that steals clips from shows and movies , always have ads that can’t be skipped or reported????
We got eggs I don't know if they are ripe or not
If I had personal theme it would be this 0:37
What was the episode number, which season?
Lol thw image at the end.
Mitä hemmettiä?
The real life Actor of Nerrus - RESPECT!!!
I thought he was going to cry!!!! Lol
Ori are true gods!!! 🚣🚤⛵
Not a mention of the human host they'll be torturing with him. Hopefully he approves of stopping the Ori and will enjoy watching his parasite break.
It's mentioned that after a certain point, the host has usually become completely insane, as humans aren't meant to live as long as Goa'uld sarcophagi can extend our lives to, in addition to the constant suppression of their will and memories. Just look at how whacked Daniel was after a couple weeks using one, and multiply that by centuries it millennia.
Nerus as in Augustus Nero?
no Nerus as Nereus ancient creece god of seas.
That ended dark....
He's an alien....... I think hunger may be least of his worries at area 51.
"Chicken."
Technically seedless grapes aren't seedless.
