Interesting thing in 'The Powers That Be' (Stargate SG-1).
- Prior infects village and somesuch.
- Daniel Jackson and Prior have a discussion on the philosophy of 'godhood' (and the Ori's claim to it).
- Prior heals village; and tells Daniel Jackson "Tell others what you have seen today".
Epic sentence. 'Others', Altera.. Danny being a former Alteran and all.

It is contextually sound (I provided little evidence), given that the Ori and Altera were somewhat in disagreement on basic principles, the same point Danny and the Prior were discussing.
It made the whole episode seem more like true SG.

It's a nice story derived from the bible where at the end of miracles performed those that bore witness were not charged to go and convince others...just go and tell, (leave it to each individual to believe it or not).
although the villages in the bible were not stricken by the miracle worker.

the ori are essentially a strike at all medieval-and-earlier religions with mass conversion on the agenda...
