LOL.......it stands for 'the powers that be' in other words the Stargate producers, MGM executives etc etc that decide in their wisdom what the Stargate world must consist of!
I liked Heru Ur too, along with Cronus and I also like Hathor, these guys all had style. Now Yu is the only one left who has that. I think that the character of Baal has great possibilities, but that only means that they'll slaughter him somehow, so I am trying not to like the character too much. In fact, I was very surprised that they didn't slaughter Yu. I like his character, but not as much as the others. Even poor old 'Pops' had some style, even if it was very 'camp'!
To tell you the truth, I don't find the fact that they've shrouded Anubis in mystery enthralling at all. I keep seeing Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars or ET. He's going to be from another species entirely I imagine. One of the Stargate people, can't remember who, has already said that they are going to have lots of fun with his character. That alone makes me shudder a little. Their idea of fun and mine differs rather radically. Just as their idea of what the series should be also differs greatly from mine. In any case, the moment they say stuff like that, I think 'oh bloody nora', the character is going to be a real turn off for me.
Anyway, we shall see. I still think the 'Old Guard' Goa'uld had a lot more style than anything the show had produced since.
