I mean, how smart are they really if they can’t conceive of “hard object move fast to damage to bad guy” The Asgard weren’t stupid, but like they ancients, they really lacked common sense sometimes

2:48 The Asurans were not an offshoot of the 'Milky Way' replicators; they were a separate invention of the Ancients'.

[@GateWorldDotNet]

That's right -- "offshoot" implies they came later, so it wasn't the best choice of words on my part. I would love to see a future show trace the connection (if there is any) between the Ancients creating human-form Replicators in Pegasus and the evolution of human-form Replicators in the Milky Way. First and the others ostensibly patterned themselves off of Reese, recognizing her as their original creator. So who created Reese? Was her "father" a Lantean who evacuated Atlantis 10,000 years ago? Did Reese have latent programming pertaining to nanite-based, human-form Replicators?

[@tomcat124us]

The reversed engineered Guns looked like they could be upgraded to plasma based weapons like the Asuran Replicator Pistols which were probably just Lanten/Ancient design

[@dereckguerra6863]

So fun fact the anti-replicator weapon that Jack made was incomplete because he was just about to die so for all we know there was supposed to be a backup system that stopped replicators from becoming immune to it

[@JamieHitt]

Not including any books written for the expanded Stargate universe… Could we do a video on the status of various groups/races as of the end of each tv series? As in… What was the last known status of the Lucian Alliance, the Genii, the travelers, the Goa’uld, the replicators,… Etc. And then you could also speculate as to latter developments.

[@novaterra973]

Actually, it might be good to include EU books. A lot of people (like me) haven't read them, so it would be interesting to see what happened after each tv series ended.

[@janbaca6075]

@@novaterra973 great idea

[@GateWorldDotNet]

I love that idea, Jamie. Maybe once we have done a few more videos for individual species -- and God willing a new Stargate show has been announced -- we could do one or more "Where We Left Off" videos in anticipation of the canon story picking back up again.

Pegasus replicators were not an "offshoot" of the milky way replicators.

[@GateWorldDotNet]

How about "related"?

[@nihilityjoey]

They were created using the same fundamental nano technology. This was brought back to the milky way.

[@Jason_Wilhelm]

If I were a bc 304 I would have implemented a high power version of the ARG. reason number one thanks to dakara we see that the weapon can be modified to work on organics this means that the wraith who use organic ships would crumble before such a weapon. Reason two it would have made wiping out the asurans so much easier just blast them from orbit and loot the advanced technology for personal use. Third and final reason as the weapon on dakara was originally a teraforming device it can still be used in that function imagine how useful that can be.

[@Daveyk021]

Tool cool; I am getting to this point in my first re-watch since it aired. I'm maybe 1/3 to 1/2 through season 8 now. It's surprises me how I remember so little from the original airing.

[@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat]

Star gate is a good way of (even if not intended) of communicating that few technologies are without modern application, it just requires some creativity.

[@MihzvolWuriar]

Between the replicators and the Borg, I think the Replicators are a lot more scarier

[@Skull1Hunter]

I'm pretty sure that if The Replicators were to fight The Borg, The Replicators would win,

[@ytmndman]

I disagree, because the Replicators would just kill you, but the Borg would assimilate you, which is worse.

[@magical_catgirl]

Something never made sense about the defeat of the replicators in the Milky Way. Sure, the Dakara device wiped out any replicators on or near planets with a stargate. What about those in deep space or on/near planets without gates?

[@Dusxio]

I think it was just a bit handwaved that they were all within range of a gate since their were multiple attack fronts by the replicators on both the SGC and the Gou'ald by repliCarter and Fifth.

[@specialnewb9821]

AFAIK Replicarter brought her entire army to Dakara.

In all honesty the writer's have left far too many questions. For example the AI planet that was damaged by simple radio waves but took over Carter's body for a while.

Yo man, loving the videos.. 👍❤️👍

[@GateWorldDotNet]

Thank you, my friend! Working on the Omnipedia videos for June, and I have some fun topics lined up.

[@DeafDiver]

I was wonder... Why they create one anti-replicator and send it down to the planet. Why not create two more for Teal'c and Daniel.

[@josephkasmarcik2895]

I honestly hated the change that made the replicators to basically techno wizards that could do just about anything. This is especially annoying since the android that the human shaped one is based on never seemed to show signs of being able to do half the things that they just suddenly where capable of doing.

[@rebmcr]

They evolved for billions of years inside an Asgard time trap, before using that advancement to break out.

[@josephkasmarcik2895]

@@rebmcr So they never showed any ability to be able to learn or grow only copy and incorporate materials. I also don't understand the back story on how they found the first human replicator since the last they showed she was taken out on earth before she left how they had a chance to find her seems pretty much hand waved at least as far as I remember since I don't recall them explaining it. The replicators didn't seem to even really use advanced tech until the humanoid replicator. They would infect a ship eat it to produce more infect another ship/ base Etc. The replicators would just basically incorporate the materials they didn't really build much except other replicators.

[@spacecadet2172]

@@josephkasmarcik2895 That wasn’t a replicator, that was an advanced android. She is the one who created the replicators.

@@spacecadet2172 It has been some time since I watched the show but if I recall they asked the humanoid replicators and they mentioned the android but I might be wrong

[@adventwolfbane]

@Joseph Kasmarcik you did watch the episode where the Asgard trap the Replicators in the time dilation field right? Earth gave the Android to the Asgard for study and the Asgard used the body and a recall function to draw them all in. Also yes the Replicators have been shown to adapt and enhance technology several times. Best example is turning a standard Ha'tak that was thrown to a distant galaxy into a ship capable of getting back to the Milkyway in less than a day when before it would have taken hundreds to thousands of years to make the trip. Plus Thor even says that Replicator controlled ships are enhanced and stronger than standard versions which is why the war is such a problem.

[@martinteece8983]

Imagine this idea was used against the borg. It be epic

[@moriendus]

Why didn't the replicators just use a whole range of different frequencies rather than switching to a single freq?

[@andrewbutton2039]

They are significantly less effective against the human forms.

[@PODSMPSG1]

@@andrewbutton2039 Yup. The human form ones are worse than the insects forms. The human form ones can adapt. I think they could be worse than the Borg from Star Trek. At least the Borg can't adapt to projectile weapons.

[@simondj8572]

Again and again by having such a source of information which theoretically was was more up to date than what they found in Atlantis lately, then they don't bother to use the source, this show had so many interesting events that could change the series into something more fun than any other franchise ever made in television history.🎉

[@simondj8572]

One more catch that I did not understood, when SG1 got all the knowledge from Asgard they got matter materialiser which they could use do to many things, especially when it comes to spare parts for the repairs which apparently was a thing during combat in the series.

[@Eduardo99922]

I cool & very awesome video.

[@knightcrusader]

But... the Asurans were not an off-shoot of the Replicators, they were completely unrelated. The Replicators in the Milky Way and Orilla were made by Reese, while the Asurans were an enhanced evolution of the nanobots the Ancients created to fight the Wraith. They aren't related at all other than being nanite-based beings.

[@GateWorldDotNet]

They are identified as "Replicators," though you're right that the writers never explicitly connected the dots. Common wisdom would suggest that Reese's "father" was an Ancient scientist, who returned to the Milky Way in the evacuation of Lantea and eventually restarted work on the Replicator project.

[@nihilityjoey]

Why is this so hard to understand. The technology is just the same, different execution. The replicator nano machines could assimilate and replicate living tissue if needed (to a point) Reece was created using the same kieron based nano technology as the pegasus replicators. The design and function was different. That's not a hard thing to grasp.

[@andresfelipeod6819]

the best villains in the entire Franchise.

[@pottierkurt1702]

Pwarw from Atlantis was quite the tongue twister 😂

[@highlander200268]

So when the ancients decided to get rid of the replicators why didn't they use this technology?

[@GateWorldDotNet]

If you mean the Lanteans in the Pegasus Galaxy, its possible it didn't exist until after they returned to the Milky Way 10,000 years ago. It stands to reason, since they apparently bombarded the Replicator planet with conventional weapons fire. Although the Dakara weapon has been around a lot longer than 10,000 years ...

[@randystegemann9990]

So the Asgard in Stargate were incapable of thinking the same way as lesser advanced species like humans, and would never think of making guns that fire metal projectiles. Although bullets may blast Replicators apart, they just reassemble. I am guessing that such a race as Asgards would so far surpass human thinking that that example would be pointless. It's like saying we can't think like insects, so they must have some devastating advantage against us other than sheer numbers in a war.

[@nihilityjoey]

They were faced with a technology that was ahead of them, so too them the solution was an advanced one. And while bullets may have been able to take out replicator forms. Its took ANCIENT technology to wipe them out. Which means the answer was advanced technology. It was just ahead of the asgard.

[@nihilityjoey]

People need to stop comparing the Borg to the replicators. They are nothing alike. And the replicators are a substantially greater threat. By far.

[@rabot9514]

[@thebloxxer22]

So the Replicators are basically Star Trek's Borg.

[@nihilityjoey]

Nothing like the Borg. And much more deadly.

[@JustScrollong]

Stargate Universe was shit

[@aziris7257]

I wouldn't say shit, but I admit, I hated the series. It tried too much to copy Battlestar Galactica's success that it alienated its own fans by copying Battlestar Galactica. SGU is a huge departure from SG1 and Atlantis, creating a claustrophobic feel instead adopting the joy for adventure that made SG1 so great. Eventually fans decided to reset their expectations and treat SGU as a separate sci-fi, but the damage was already done. For me at least, watching SGU was a chore. I didn't enjoy watching it at all. It's different from SG1 and Atlantis, where I looked forward to what new adventures they'd have in every episode. By the middle of the second season, I was like, "Alright, I've watched enough. Time to find something else to watch."
