Replicators were definitely one of my favorite things in Stargate. Reminded me a lot of other consume and conquer species, Zerg, Tyranids, Borg etc. I've always loved that stuff.
I'll never stop loving that the Asgard came to us because we were that perfect combination of dumb and clever. We were the only people in the space neighbourhood stupid and willing enough to set fire to a wasp nest
@@shadowhenge7118 Thor: "The Asgard would never invent a weapon that propels small weights of iron and carbon alloys by igniting a powder of potassium nitrate, charcoal and sulfur - We cannot think like you."
Thor: "You have demonstrated their weakness may be found through a less sophisticated approach, we are no longer capable of such thinking" Daniel: "Wait a minute, you're actually saying you need someone dumber than you are?" Jack: "You may have come to the right place"
Thor made it pretty clear, they needed us because we're the only race who's still slinging rocks and coming up with ideas the others consider "outside of the box"
The replicators were in also another unnamed Galaxy. The episode enemies probably would have implied that the replicators were in an Intergalactic threat but it was immediately dropped and their origin was switched to the Milky Way galaxy
Reece and Fifth were both hard watches. Reece, I really couldn't blame; her creator did the best he could, but in the end, she was still a flawed creation, doing what she could to cope with her isolation. She had no idea that her "toys" would cause so much destruction. Fifth was harder, though, imo. Jack's decision to use Fifth's naivete and trust against him was a good foray into that murky gray area, where no one is really right or wrong. I kinda tend to side with Carter on that one, but I still can't fault Jack for making the call, given how much was at stake. It could have made an interesting story arc to see if Fifth could be taught to get his emotions under control, but he was just too unstable, in the long run. But, that's what made SG1 such a good show; it made you question what the right choice was.
I love when you are talking about Stargate. You could also expand to the Pegasus Galaxy's replicator but it is true they are différent Thanks for this video
Nerd Cookies and her great voice; at the end and I don't remember what was the video about! 😍 More seriously, I loved the replicators episodes and in fact, still do! Great video! 👏👏
They were a fun enemy, but they underwent far too much power-creep, far too quickly. More than a few times they reached a point where it's like "Oh, ok so even if every single race in the entire galaxy united and tried to stop them, won't do any good." So again and again they need to bring in a new McGuffin to save the day. The writers pulled it off reasonably well. I just dislike when show runners write themselves into a corner like that because they want their "Big Bad" to be more impressive and scary.
I don't really agree with this. Very early on, the replicators were shown to have been a major threat that had beaten back the Asgard all the way to their homeworld. The only real "power-creep" they underwent was the creation of human-form replicators. As far as I'm concerned, the Milky-Way was never in a position to beat back a replicator invasion without the help of the Ancient's technology. Especially with the Goa'uld at the front lines of the fight.
I’ll give you a like and a comment. Star Gate: SG1 was fun. It wasn’t a masterpiece and never aspired to greatness, but it had charm. It’s like Hogans Heroes. That show had charm in its silliness and so doe SGSG1. A hundred years from now there’s going to be an audience. The replicators are just part of it. Maybe there’s a truth here. Some stories stand the test of time.

@@davidvangerner7241 They'd likely take over if it's durin the clone wars. With the empire they'd stall at best. Now the vong vs the replicators would be a very fun thing to see.
Love when your videos pop up before I go to bed. Best thing to watch... Good subject, beautiful music and even better narration. Have a very nerdy day! 🍪
Replicators I first remember we use as a though-away threat to a sub. I think from there they combined it with the unbeatable threat to make it was described as to the Asgard. that is my member from seeing the original series and subsequent series on TV.
The replicator ship would've been a lot more difficult to deal with, if it had just been a massive cloud of widely distributed individual replicators or small groups cooperating enough to travel in hyperspace. A swarm is much more difficult to battle than a massive ship.
Loved it. Two things though, no mention of the IOA's idiotic plan to use the replicators to defeat the Ori and no mention of the Asurans AKA the Pegasus replicator.
Was this straight lifted from Battlestar Galactica and Caprica or did this come first, also see some Dr. Who Dalek time wars type shenanigans!! Lol, I mean at this point what science fiction doesn’t cross over in some way. As always and regardless, great videos, love your work.
Been ages since I got notified of you dropping a new video, Elaine. I've been recommending and sharing but TH-cam are upto Orc mischievous. Any other subscriptions having issues 🤔
I can't remember if it was ever described in the show, but I would like to know how the replicators created the acidic solution they use to break down materials in order to replicate.
Probably just through absorbing different techs. They say this in the show so as to not have to explain minor details... However, maybe they devoured "Aliens" and learned from their biology that acid works wonders 🤣
Yeah I love it but and it's still some in the Pegasus Galaxy replicators I know they destroyed the planet that they were on and they got one of those replicated mad
Presumably, the Asgard had been fighting the replicators off-screen for centuries. Thor only reached out to the SGC once every other strategy had been tried and failed, his ship bumbled its way to earth, and he was also technically dead at the time, as well.
No, they have a completely different origin. The Asurans (Pegasus replicators) developed from Lantean weaponized nanites meant to fight the Wraith on a cellular level. They predate the Milky Way Replicators by at least several thousand years.
Maybe because their enemies all used energy-based weapons, not some primitive slug-throwers, so they adapted towards defending themselves from those weapons
@@marcoboscarol2420 OR, projectile weapons do physical damage to the victims whereas energy weapons burn the victim Replicators, being made of metal, strong alloys at that, would be more heat resistant rather then the tearing force of a bullet or shotgun shell
i found them making their human-form replicators to be earily similar to the events of Battlestar Galactica Spoilers below ⬇️ for a 19 year old series? 🤔 how the Cylons made human-like Cylons and it was hard to tell the difference in their case
Too bad they could reach an agreement to load them all onto a Destiny like ship and send them off the a non-biological galaxy to do their thing in peace.

That’s what happens when the series keeps getting renewed for another season only _after_ the previous finale was supposed to end the entire thing

So given that the Dakara weapon only destroyed all Replicators in the Milky Way, they might still be around in the Ida galaxy.
They'd all left for the Milky Way.

I didn't even know you were doing Stargate! I am very excited! More lore, por favor!
Thanks for watching! Be sure to check out my Stargate lore playlist!
Yeah, she's done Stargate videos and they are of course, awesome....
Thanks elaine. And nick . The replicatorrs have just taken out the asgard first homeworld and gotten stuck in time . In my rewatch.
Bravo. Fantastic video. Please do continue your series on Stargate for at long as it holds your interest.
Replicador vs Borg would be epic.
Pre-nerf Borg would be fun.
Imagine the replicators invading the star wars galaxy during the clone wars

Great video. I love the episode where SGC meets 5 and they trap and betray 5.
The Replicators had a bad case of OCD. Not to mention replicating other alien baddies, Cybermen, Borg, etc.
Damn, awesome vid ! Thank you very much.

5th could've stayed in hiding and made his own humanoid colony but chose revenge instead

The origin story of the replicators spoiled them for me but they did lead to the greatest verbal put down of humans by the asgard.
evil legos...
Who would win, replicators or tyranids?
I feel the Goa'uld arc went on too long and enjoyed the Replicator and Ori story lines.
I agree the best threats on Stargate got too little time and the primitive worms got the spotlight for far too long
Who would win?
Stargate technology or Dune technology?
Seriously. "Blow my Mind." hahaha
Space travel will be on Stargate side. Ground attack will most likely be on Dune side. It'll come down to the tactics each side use on one another.
Will there be a follow-up episode on the Pegasus Galaxy replicators and their relationship to the ancients/reese?
Are you going to do the pegasus replicators next?
dont forget the replicators in stargate atlantis... please do a video
Yeah I love it but and it's still some in the Pegasus Galaxy replicators I know they destroyed the planet that they were on and they got one of those replicated mad
Basically the nekro virus from Twilight Imperium
So could we have a fight between the replicators from the milky way galaxy with a infested constitution class ship go up against the borg fleet
_Replicarter_ (:D)
Sweet 👍
They dealt with the replicators too fast
It should have been several seasons for the Asgard/Replicator war
Presumably, the Asgard had been fighting the replicators off-screen for centuries. Thor only reached out to the SGC once every other strategy had been tried and failed, his ship bumbled its way to earth, and he was also technically dead at the time, as well.
Are the Pegasus' replicators the same 'species' than the ones from the Milky Way, but they splited ? Like the Ori and the Alteran ?
No, they have a completely different origin. The Asurans (Pegasus replicators) developed from Lantean weaponized nanites meant to fight the Wraith on a cellular level. They predate the Milky Way Replicators by at least several thousand years.
