Zipacna from Summit and Last Stand

These photos are from StargateFan.com and their 5th season episode screen caps section. 6 photos are from Summit, Zipacna persuading Osiris to work with him, for Anubis, the last ones are from Last Stand when the attack on the Tok'ra base is going a little downhill. I quite liked him when he looked pissed off about his Jaffa not finding the survivors and/or anybody to tell them about the toxin so it's a pity there weren't any more screen caps from Last Stand.

First picture from Brana ke hvezdam's(?) Zipacna file. Check the other Goa'uld files out, too, excellent photos (of Tanith for example... ;) ).

These from http://www.savedanieljackson.com/episoderedux/s5sum.asp and Summit Episode Synopsis.
Transport rings take someone from one ship to annother. A Jaffa announces 'his guest has arrived' to our old friend Zipacna - the guest being Osiris, of course.

Zipacna: "You ought to be congratulated." "My forces have informed me that you have managed to amass an impressive Army in a relatively short amount of time."
Osiris: "I merely took advantage of favorable conditions."
Zipacna:"The old order has fallen. The System Lords are in disarray. Opportunities exist, but only for those bold enough to seize them."
Osiris: "What are you proposing? An alliance?"
Zipacna: "No. But I am offering you a position of power for your support."
Osiris: "Osiris serves no-one. You... least of all."
Zipacna: "You once served Isis."
Osiris: "She was my queen, she served me."
Zipacna: "Interesting. Interesting now that you have chosen a female host. A most attractive one at that."
Osiris: "You waste my time."
Zipacna: "You misunderstand. I'm not asking that you serve me. I must admit that I am merely the emissary of a much more powerful goa'uld. One whom you once knew well."
Osiris: "Of whom do you speak?"
Zipacna's lips curl once more in a knowing smile. "Anubis," he says, his brows raising for emphasis. Osiris' turns completely forward, his expression becoming one of obvious fear.

My possibly favourite bit is when he says "You once served Isis," the way he knows Osiris won't like being reminded of something like that but says it despite or just because of that. Also loved the way lisa_dug says "boy old Zippy is creepy!" on the Save DJ-site. I don't agree but I like the effect the character obviously had on people.

Now how gorgeous is that? Love the smile :p

A pissed off Osiris and Zippy in a kilt? Tell me he's gone Scottish ;)

Quotes of Zipacna and Osiris' conversation from http://home.kendra.com/urania/stargate_sg1/sg1_episodes5_summit.htm again.

Zipacna (of Osiris): "Politics have always been one of your...greater skills."

Zipacna hesitates, eyeing Osiris' new form. "I am....going to take this weapon from the Tok'ra," and walks up to Osiris to whisper in his ear. "...and destroy them."
Osiris leans his head away from Zipacna's breath on his hair and takes a step away from him. Zipacna smiles and walks out of the Peltac."

Z:'A good one, eh?' O:'How do I get rid of this guy?'

During their attack on Revanna his Jaffa comes to inform him about the current status of the attack:
Jaffa: "No Tok'ra have surfaced and attempted to escape."
Zipacna: Escape? There's no escape. They hide in their tunnels like rats. Continue the bombardment. Prepare the ground troops for infiltration."

Last Stand Spoilers

Last Stand synopsis with very useful pics as the source this time. Go read the whole thing for more info.
"Zipacna's mothership.
His First Prime reports that the base has been infiltrated and that many dead Tok'ra were found as well as three Tau'ri humans.
"Allies of the Tok'ra," Zipacna spits. The First Prime informs him that the few Tok'ra they captured died before giving out any information. Then tells him that six Jaffa were found dead outside the lab, killed with Tau'ri weapons' fire. Zipacna asks about the chemical weapon and his First Prime reports that it or it's formula not yet been found, and that the computers had been sabotaged. Zippy's (O'Neill's nickname for him) not happy. He orders him to find the missing survivors and the jaffa complains that the tunnels are extensive. Zippy gives him a glaring look and the jaffa immediately amends that they'll continue looking and will not fail him."

'Osiris didn't like my jokes...'

Still from the Last Stand synopsis.

"Zippy's ship.
Zippy's First Prime (who, by the way, bears the gold tattoo of Olokun on his forehead) reports that a cargo ship had just come out of hyperspace but that it cloaked immediately. Zippy tells him to have the glider scanners check for disturbances in the atmosphere and when they've found the ship, to shoot it down. When the First Prime starts to walk away, Zippy asks him about the survivors who escaped. His First Prime gives him bad news. No Tok'ra found alive. No Tau'ri found alive. No poison. Zippy tells him to join the search himself and if he doesn't retrieve anything, he's not to bother coming back. Typical."

Pro-Goa'uld warning! ;)
Whaddaya mean typical? Why should he bother to come back if he fails his master in a simple task like that? ;) They should've taken control of the base faster to ensure that any information couldn't be destroyed. I'd also recommend "Zatting" Lt. Elliot despite his apparent weakness, then doing a search on him and saving the day for Zippy, getting a commendation for having half a brain. Arrogance is a fatal weakness even in Jaffas. But then I haven't written the fanfic to make that happen yet... *grins*

Or to provide you with the quotes...
Jaffa: "My Lord. A cargo ship was detected exiting hyperspace but it cloaked immediately. Its current location is unknown."
Zipacna: "Huh... Deploy a squadron of gliders and have them scan the atmosphere for disturbances. And if the ship even attempts to land on the planet shoot it down." (Turns and continues as the Jaffa is leaving, sounding highly annoyed) "What about the survivors?"
Jaffa: "They haven't been found as of yet my lord. The search continues."
Zipacna: "Then join the search yourself! But if you do not find either the formula or a living Tokra who could tell me of it, do not bother to return."

Lots of people seem to hate the open end of Last Stand but I love the opportunities it gives. Only problem is that if Elliot/Lantash doesn't use the toxin to get rid of the army of Jaffa (one of my favourite things in the episode, seeing the enormous army Zipacna had to throw around) guarding the Stargate, SG-1 is kind of stuck on Revanna and you end up outside episode canon with a very dead SG-1. I mean, c'mon, make Daniel a host, use Sam and Jack's mutual affection against them, nip off to Chulak to get Teal'c's wife and kid and maybe Bra'tac to use against him, use Sam and her father against each other, bound to get something out of someone. Good guys always have such awful weaknesses.
What? The show's not called "Chappa'ai -Goa'uld"? Maybe it should be... ;) I also don't believe he's dead since going anywhere on the planet with the tok'ra chemical unsecured and a possible threat to his own survival would be extremely stupid. He's on his mothership and Elliot was supposed to release the toxin around the stargate so Zipacna survives. At least until Anubis gets his hands on him.
