10 Worst Ways To Die In The Stargate Universe

When Daniel Jackson and Vala investigate an Ancient communications device, it doesn't work in the traditional sense. Instead of making a call through it, they are rendered unconscious, and their minds are swapped with two people from another galaxy, which the Ori controls.

The episode "Avalon, Part 2" introduces the series' next big bad with the Ori and their followers, and those people are the real problem. They are led by religious zealots called the Priors of the Ori, and through their benefactors, the Priors are given a great deal of power.

When Daniel and Vala find themselves at odds with a Prior, it results in Vala's persecution. She's labeled a heretic and is brought to the town center, where prostration is normally conducted. Instead of the day's prostration, she is placed at the center of a stone formation, where she is bound and burned alive.

She was immolated, and her screams resounded through the town square as she burned. Being burned alive is horrific enough, but it isn't made better as dozens of people watch. She was later resurrected, but the pain of her death — even while in another's body — forever remained.
