My absolute two favourite SG-1 scenes, both feature the Asgard, specifically Thor. The "appearance" of Thors Chariot, was a serious Whoooaaaa moment. Then when "Supreme Commander" Thor corrected Senator Kinsey. Oh man I loved that moment, it was flipping brilliant..

[@AKUJIVALDO]

Thor has nice scenes...but nowhere close to O'Neill ones.

[@SardonicALLY]

The sound design for the ship in that episode really made the ship feel super powerful. Loved it too.

[@StormsparkPegasus]

In the Stargate universe, the Asgard inspired Norse mythology. They didn't just co-opt it. Also, while the Asgard ship at the Ori battle was not able to damage the Ori ships, there is no evidence that it was damaged or destroyed either. The last time the Asgard ship is seen, it is heading away from the fight. My headcanon for that is that it escaped with sensor readings of the Ori shields, and that is how the Asgard were able to develop the beam weapon to destroy them (relatively) quickly.

[@William0271]

That certainly answers a few questions

[@TheCyberloki]

To me that would make a lot of sense. In fact the Asgard beam weapons look a lot like a improved slimmed down version of the Ori beam. So maybe it indeed was developed out of the sensor readings from that battle.

[@silentdeath7847]

Yeah would be more logical that the people of earth got the mythology from the asgard instead of them got it from us. I just imagine some asgard research ship above earth during the viking age going like: dude check theese guys out, we gotta be like them😂

[@StormsparkPegasus]

@@silentdeath7847 Yep, when it comes to mythologies, the Goa'uld actually did both. In some cases (Ra), they inspired the religion. In other cases, lesser known Goa'uld (that weren't system lords) that were trying to make a name for themselves might've co-opted an existing religion. The Asgard were the inspiration for Norse mythology.

[@johnkepa2240]

The asgard ship (O-neill class) went into hyperspace. However thor mentioned the asgard ship was able to gather enough data on ori shields. Eventually building a weapon capable of penetrating ori shields. Once the asgard completed the weapon (Asgard beam weapon) it was installed aboard the odyssey. The rest is history

Shields, hyperdrive, super-hyperdrive, matter synthesizer, time dilation field, hologram, cloning, transporters, these guys really knew how to do stuff. And in their last effort they even managed to make weapon capable of taking down Ancient-level shields. While they were not as advanced as Ancient in their understanding of the universe, they took things seriously and managed to make far more useful and better applicable technologies.

[@trgyfhgnt3]

Narrow but deep knowledge vs a wider yet shallower(not really considering what the Ancients have done but still shallower in a few things) knowledge. The Asgard did extract some of the Ancient Repository and, "Learned much from it," though. Loved the beam weapons and the synthesizer though. Hyperdrives(The Intergalactic Ones Anyway) were probably about even though.

[@mithicash1444]

I would have loved to see the O'neill class battle ship in action before it was sacrificed against the replicators. It looked formidable. One thing I never understood about the Asgard. To solve their genetic problem, why did they never retain samples of their original or near original form, so they always copy the original, rather than copy of the copy of the copy. Even human tech knows that cloning takes very few amount of cells so they could have stockpiled samples. Second, why didn't they simply genetically design a new species, like empty vessels, that would be capable of storing their minds? Clearly, they had the technology to do so. Even ascension could have been an option.

[@magical_catgirl]

"To solve their genetic problem, why did they never retain samples of their original or near original form, so they always copy the original, rather than copy of the copy of the copy." They didn't think it would be a problem when they started. They couldn't comprehend that such a thing was possible. It's the same reason they needed Earth's "dumb ideas" to defeat the replicators. Once they realised the problem with the cloning, it was too late. Which is why they had that science lab researching an ancient Asgard colony ship from before the major genetic changes (on the planet Thor was shot down by Osris over). Ascension wasn't an option, the same mental problem that prevented them from coming up with novel ideas (like blowing up the O'neill to destroy 3 replicator ships) also prevented ascension.

[@RazudMezeghis]

Because the Asgards didnt had the technology, neither the need for that... they later on unite they're efforts, before they commited massive suicide, and put aside the no advanced weapons for underdeveloped races rule and simply went wild. Am guessing the beam would be a mix of asgard technology with the pulse weapon ancient technology Oneil provided against replicators.

@ 6:25 You mention towing another spaceship, like a "Tractor Beam" in Star Trek. Although travelling slower, taking hours to reach Thor's Planet from Earth. They are still going into Hyper Space, just not "AS" fast, due to said tow.

[@TheCyberloki]

well no there is a differention between "Hyperspace" and "Hyperspeed" with Hyperspeed being suposedly some new superior form of FTL travel. But i don't know how much of it is based in the show and how much is fan speculation to explain scenes like when thor is towing the prometheus back to earth while we see out the window on the Prometheus bridge with no sign of a hyperspace window. Also it seems strange that Asgard can't keep up their shields in Hyperspace. So some explain that away by "only at maximum speed in hyperspace" or "well its hyperspeed not hyperspace"

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

I was always a little disappointed in the ships of Stargate. There was a lot of emphasis on how Earth's main advantage was that our military was organized much more effectively, and our tactics much more consistent and effective as well. Like all the older races had taken up such advanced tech that they forgot how to actually make war. . I'd have much preferred to see humans adapt seemingly useless technologies into odd applications to devastating effect, rather than have them get the power creep like they did. . Instead of having explicitly tougher ships or such...just design them better for combat. The Goa'uld and Asgard, and really all other races' ships, are absolutely crap as combat vessels in their design. Bad configuration, garbage weapon loadout, usually they're much, much too large. There's honestly nothing good about them. . It would've been better to see the humans take some otherwise innocuous alien tech, and turn it in to a shield-draining weapon. And to equip it on ships that, while technologically inferior, are actually properly designed for space combat, giving them a capacity to engage more advanced vessels that one wouldn't expect.

[@nihilityjoey]

Your comment makes little too no sense. So how are the ships not designed for war? Let's take the earth ships, what other franchise are you comparing them too? Both the Prometheus and the 304 are designed really well given their roles and have great overall fire power before the beams........given they used earth weapons. Mmhh let's take say........the infinity from halo. Much the same there I would say no? Human ship built using reverse engineered tech? And that ship isnt really a good example of useage of tech. Building your ship around a main threat weapon may seem logical but it isnt. Haveing a much better range of fire power and coverage is much preferable. Let's take the destiny for instance. It has a main canon, but the ship isnt built around it and it doeant even need to be used, it can be retracted, protecting it. Or the hatak, which is the best designed warship in stargate. It has great manouverability, full 360 degree fire power, fighter compliments and deployment for troops and very strong shields in the greater scope of species in stargate. And a hull that can survive within hitting distance of a blue giant with its shields down for eight hours. And what are you talking about "shield drain weapons"? The species in stargate that have shields and ships have had them for at least fifteen thousand years in the goauld case. Then the asgard and the ancients etc. I'm not sure about you but I'm pretty sure they have had the time and experience to either have counter measures already in place for such weapons or could easily adapt to them. Much the same way as the wraith never bothered with shields so developed the hull regeneration tech instead to be able to recover from plasma and drone fire. To me technology does not work in such things as star trek, where you magically adapt to everything. You have to have the technology to adapt, not just the understanding. It then has to be refined and so on, which takes a long time. Like the Borg being able to adapt to anything. How? They would not only have to try and understand the newer tech but be able to produce it from data gained by weapon fire????? So the plasmas to hot for their hulls, then what? Youd have to build new ships not just design new hulls. The technology that the humans eventually gained in stargate, and they were studying and aboard, came from races at the zenith of technological understanding. Their shields...even goauld rated are simply beyond anything in say startrek, starwars etc, there is simply to many years ahead in terms of refinement etc. The only sci fi show that will show technology at that kind of level will be the halo show with the forerunners. But even the human ships in halo would be defeated by the likes of Prometheus without their shields. Their rail guns are simply a great and powerfull set of weapons, and their hulls are an alloy of trinium and naquda. That right their is a big difference in terms of not only hull strength but the hulls ability to dissipate energy, naquada is what the gates are made of.

[@eternallylearning2811]

Lol maybe that's why aliens are scared to give us little tau'ri anything

[@DKforever24]

I honestly believe a lot of the Asgards problems could have been solved with the cutting beam that they gave to humanity.

[@christosvoskresye]

Within a sci-fi context, I think bit more care needs to be taken with the use of the term "gods". It is clear that, historically, the Norse / Germanic gods like Thor (or Donner) were given adoration (latria) and sacrifice, and they were thought to demand the same. However, the Asgard of SG-1 are NEVER shown demanding adoration or sacrifice, though they do earn respect and even veneration. It appears they are "gods" in roughly the same sense as Haile Selassie or Julius Caesar; they posed as heroes but came to be adored (in the technical sense). It's worth pointing out that individual members of the Q Continuum or the Ancients were more powerful than most polytheistic gods are claimed to be. ("God" in the monotheistic sense is a completely different question, being more analogous to the writers of Stargate than to any characters in the show, including the Ancients and the Ori.) It is not power that makes a god, though; it is the worthiness to receive adoration and sacrifice.

[@10thdoctor15]

The Asgard didn't use the cutting beams against the Ori, they probably developed them after that encounter, before sharing them with Earth.

[@Psiros]

Of all the sci-fi ship designs, the Asgardian ships are my favorite. Sorry, Galaxy class. I love you, too.

[@saladinbob]

The Ori ships had no business being more powerful than the Asgard, if we look at it objectively. The Ancients might have been substantially more powerful than the Asgard before ascension but the Asgard had a million years or so of technological advancement that should not only mean they caught up but overtook them in ship design.

[@SupremeLordEnki]

Wrong, the Ancients or Latians or Ori or Alterans or whatever, The human humanoid has been evolving over and over for the last 60million years because by 50million years ago was when the first Ancient ship left the original galaxy and traveled to the other side of the universe so the Ori Cult wouldn't find the Science atheist vessel anywhere because by then the Ancients were already living alongside with newer versions of humans, something like the Tauri for example. Basically, humanity evolves and ascends and then evolves again within a course of hundreds to a few millions of years of evolution then again another human species evolves again no matter what.

[@SupremeLordEnki]

Wrong mate, The Asgard evolved around 100.000 years ago and by 30.000 they manage to get to space and by 28.000bc after 2 thousand years of advancement of technology they were able to travel all around their galaxy and nearby galaxies until they made a peaceful contact with the Ancients, the Furlings, and the Nox around 10.000 years ago. Which was also when the Ancients decided to evolve "again" the countless time.

[@SupremeLordEnki]

@@miloddvoranak8900 The Asgard, Furlings, and the Nox are nothing more than a mutated version of humans descended from the original First Ancients who arrived in the Milky way over a 50million years ago, who spawned all life in the galaxy and pretty much all the universe.. Humans evolve then ascend again, then evolve then ascend again every few hundred thousand years to a couple million years ago.. The ancients who built the stargates in the Milky way are not the same who went to Andromeda. They are two different human evolution.

4 x 1 billion kilojoules is equivalent to aproximately 86 tons or 17,000 gallons of gasoline, lol. Not that much energy storage for a starship.

[@nihilityjoey]

That's every second. The Theorised way their reactors work is by compressing neutronium till it becomes a super fluid. This super fluid releases neutrinos. A naquadah (later naquadriah) conductor is used as a medium to cause a reaction from the velocity the neutrinos cause passing through the naquadah medium. The reaction this causes is what creates the energy needed to run the ship in a form of ionised plasma. Neutrinos only have a half life of ten seconds. So each rector is pumping out that energy every second or less. And considering their engines are low energy (meaning the energy they put in is vastly improved upon in the reaction) they are using very little fuel and getting tons more energy out.

WHY do people who do these video's ALWAYS ......ALWAYS say " in the entire universe" that's not possible in any reality , GALAXY OR GALAXIES' IS WHAT YOU SHOULD USE . the universe is infinite and no one on this planet or any other could control or know what it has in it .

"Motherships" birth and launch smaller craft. I see no evidence of Asgard ships ever doing this.

[@GateWorldDotNet]

You're right -- "warship" or "battleship" might be more accurate. Teal'c did refer to it as a "mothership" the very first time one appeared on screen, and it kinda stuck in fandom.

[@hokiturmix]

I do not think that warship is the proper designation.

1billion kJ sounded too low for me. So, after a little digging I found that this value is equivalent to 0.0125 Atomic Bombs or 0.239 kilo Tons of TNT 🤣🤣 A little Pathetic for a space faring species, don't you think?

[@GateWorldDotNet]

I assume it's just "efficient." 😄 We really have no idea how Asgard engine technology converts that energy output to thrust.

It would have been cool if they had ships named, The James T. Kirk and The Spock. Just saying.

Weird! I guess all I can suggest is try a different browser or device, or follow up with Google support.

You all realize this was just a tv show. You all talk like this is reality..I love the show but then it's over with now and now back to paying the light bill..

The Omnipedia video series is styled like an in-universe databank entry.

No the ships that came to save SG-1 from Osiris were more advanced but Thor had a Balistner class ship when he met Osiris' ship in orbit above the planet with the Asgard research lab

[@GateWorldDotNet]

I think that's more or less what I said at 7:07. Thor's ship in "Revelations" has a hammerhead design, like the Beliskner. He is flying an O'Neill class only later, by Season 6's "Prometheus."
