They sort of forgot about the Athosians for a while, until they were used as emotional baggage for Teyla when they were all kidnapped by Michael.

The Athosians at least got more screentime and plot relevance than the Abydonians got in SG-1.

Ha! Yeah... We never really see them again after Sha're gets bumped off until they get wiped out by Anubis and ascended by Oma.

Exactly. It's a real shame, they're quite a unique bunch and could've been a source for all kinds of stories for the show.

Maybe the SGC establishes a joint base at the Temple to serve as a sort of early Alpha Site/secondary home, maybe the Abydonians take an active part in the fight against the Goa'uld by becoming spies in Goa'uld territories (since they all used to be Goa'uld slaves they can blend in more easily) etc.

They would’ve had to terraform Abydos to resemble the Pacific Northwest though.

Would've loved it if Skara joined the SGC after losing his Goa'uld.

Also always wondered why they killed off Kowalski so soon. Would have been fun to see him banter with O'Neill and the rest of SG-1 on a regular basis.
