MANY THANKS for the video!
Never came across these guys. Was this before everyone went into stasis except Eli because there was a shortage of stasis pods or, was it after that?
BEST REGARDS!
*Pretty sure Daniel Jackson would have figure out how to communicate with them in 1 hour.*
Another species would have discovered the amazing taste of chocolate bars :'D
or like the Wrath guy, "would you like to shake my hand", a dad joke, from an alien race.
@@Kafj302 ah yes, Todd, a funny Wraith.
@Chris G i mean imagine if Jackson was like "you have to marry an Ori, then divorce them and take the staff as part of the divorce process"
*it's easy once you understand the use of the vowels*
The Nakai was, to me, one of the more interesting interacting story-arcs in the series.
been way to long without a stargate franchise.
True .. but when they start a new serie, please let it be good, not like the new Star Trek & Star Wars :/
@@DerSky I'm hoping for quality but as with everything these days they'll try and ruin it.
Absolutely! It's too LOOOOOOOOOONG!
Well Amazon now owns the series. I bet they announce a new Stargate show within the next year. Whether or not they will ruin it remains to be seen.
@@bucky13 still waiting
The mission of Destiny was to seed planets with Stargates. This could easily be interpreted as a prelude to an invasion.
This would mean that the Nakai could believe they are acting in self-defense.
Destiny didnt seed the planets , there were other ships traveling ahead that did that.
But 1st rule of war is to secure a beachhead for resupply and reinforce the Stargate could have been presented as first strike with destiny acting as a main strike force on this planet a UFO attempting to plant and unknown devices would be rewarded with nukes
I wanted an entire season exploring the aliens and a world or culture or two.
Same, the show got cancelled just as it was getting good.
While I did enjoy SGU, I would have preferred for the money to have been spent on two more season of SGA to finish out it's story line with the wraith.
There wasn’t really a lot of alien civilization exploration. I didn’t really feel connected to this series probably because of that and there wasn’t really any main bad guy like the Gou’ald, Ori, Wraith, Replicators, the Lucian Alliance was in it a few episodes but nothing that really refined it for me.
Was my favorite out of the bunch by far. Unlike SGA and SG-1 Stargate Universe felt realistic and more mysterious, less comedic/lighthearted. Like exploring what could be a vast unknown universe with no pure evils or pure good guys as if it were a cartoon. Don't get me wrong I did enjoy SG-1 and Atlantis a lot in fact, but for vastly different reasons, they were more shows I could just relax whilst watching. Whilst SGU made me want to know more about the ancients and the galaxies and all the things in it.
@@m.d4375 Personally SGA is my favorite and for SG1 it becomes very good after a few seasons and I believe so would SGU. SGU was really fascinating and the show was so close to getting good and then it sadly got cancelled :/
1:19 Since the Ancient Stones only transfer consciousness and not appearance, vocal cords, etc. I always wondered how that looked and sounded from the perspective of Rush and Scott, who presumably only saw and heard Young.
probably just Young screaming
I really miss SGU so badly, it was such a beautiful show, very disappointed it was canceled. I'm still hoping they'd reboot it someday with a realistic 3D animated show to continue it or even restart from the beginning like "manifest"
I was disappointed as well, just as it got good they cancelled it.
The problem now is the actors are older, they'd probably have to get a new cast for certain roles. But I'd love to see a reboot.
It was a pretty good SF show, but it lacked the classic SG humor beloved by fans. Still if they had warned people before it came out (WARNING; Darker SG ahead) perhaps it might have done better. Personally I’d love more SGA.
@lyptt I was thinking same ,stasis pod malunction which caused aging.
@@Scottlp2 hell, advertising. didnt even know it was out before season 1 was almost done.
Personally I think SGU should have been kept for many more seasons there's a huge story to be told and it was dropped prematurely to not continue the story especially with the same characters the same actress playing the same characters specifically would be a huge loss to many including myself. The story needs and must to go on
So much love for you making these stargate omnipedia videos..
I always hoped SGU would be resurrected from the "Dead" and to see a lot more of the Nakai aliens and even other interesting "allies/enemies".
Given the amount of time it has been off the air, I could imagine either one of two things happened: either they managed to figure out a way home immediately after being unfrozen or they miscalculated and are currently drifting between the galaxies for the next thousand years.
I have heard a rumor about a potential new Stargate series now that Amazon has the Stargate property. Hopefully, if it takes off, they can finally explain what happened to the Destiny.
I am learning so much Stargate information from this channel. Thanks
Thanks for watching, L B!
We know all this already whn amazon bringing the franchise back on air would love it see u a continuation or a revamp of S.G.U
They left an opening for every character to return a few years older. I say just do it. Bring t’alc back and give him an ultimate death scene in the pilot.
The team tries to avoid the new interplanetary earth govt and it’s evil Jaffa warriors. Finding a safe, Undominated planet of humans is the goal, not starting over. They want to find and teach primitives but not everyone agrees.
Somebody wants to go back to the evil earth govt. who is the spy???
I quite frankly don't trust Amazon.
It would be terrible. They would gender and race swap out all the white makes and make it liberal propaganda with terrible writing. Just like every other reboot/reimagining.
lets wait to see what they do with lord of the rings
@@testaccount4191 It's already known that they had to get a smex coach, so it's painfully obvious that they're trying to do another Game of Thrones.
This show had so many good directions it could've gone in.
I really loved the Nakai and the Urcini. They were fleshed out over the seasons while remaining mysterious, and their technologies were very unique. Too bad the show was abandoned, it would be great to see more of both.
Didn't they have the nickname "blueberry aliens" at a time? Not in the show but by the fans and media before.
Maybe they can form their own blue man group lol!
Personally I think the Na'Kai were curious about the Terrans/Tau'ri and what they were doing on destiny. I also think that they may have actually helped build it.
their written language was similar to old Ancient so it is possible they had contact with them at a point in the far past and then later may of been trying to access the ship to find out why they are no longer around we know the Ancients were spread out to many galaxies before the plague hit their kind then from them we evolved so the Na'kai could be also trying to find out how we can interact with the Ancient tech and why we look like them i think if the show had been given more time they would of become allies after finding out our race is another evolution of the Ancients
Anybody else feel like SGU was better than its given credit for? I really enjoyed my rewatch recently, the grittyness was a nice contrast to the feelgood of the other series'.
IMO SGU needs to get picked up on amazon as its still in limbo. I think it was a totally different kinda show and could develop just as large of a following but not just SG1/SGA fans.
It sparked the most in my imagination
Great video
This what keeps me going in life
These aliens were one of the few interesting things about this show. I wish we could have learned more about them.
This is the only Stargate show I didn't watch. I came in late and when I heard it was canceled without resolution, I just bailed.
Poor Chloe, she was awesome. I miss the series!
Wonder if eventually we would have found the Nakai to be the Furlings, long thought dead?
These guys were so creepy :o
Any hostile species regardless of how aggressive, once realising Destinys mission, I would imagine be passified in it's intent and legacy. Particularly in a race that is already multi galactic.
Rewatching Stargate U really gives you a different perspective. It was much better than the first time I watched it
The communication barrier should have been broken down and these aliens join the crew. My personal head canon is they’ve been following Destiny for so long now through so many galaxies they don’t know where they are from. Chloe really should have ended as a bridge between the two. With the Nakai having…a difference in opinion on what counts as invasive to a living thing. Plus, felt like the humans were squatters on their discovery. Leading to the initial irritation
i realy wish there was a season 3 sgu
SGU was what Star Trek Voyager should have been.... An isolated Earth ship travelling through a barren and uncivilized part of the cosmos encountering aliens no one can understand.
Their eyes aren’t lidless, you can see the blink
Could they be like the Kett from Mass Effect?
i've been watching the expanse recently - these look like the protomolecule hybrids we see. maybe they are the progenitors?
The Nakai seem oddly similar to the Ohnes from "Fire and Water" -- both are blue-skinned, semi-aquatic fish people with tendrils on their faces.
Bring it back
The nakai remind me of the alien from season 1 or 2 of sg1 whice daniel jeackson kidnnaped
Are these meant to be a similar species to the alien encountered in S1:13 of sg1 "fire and water"?
No, they are different fish-like species from different galaxies.
@@GateWorldDotNet Did we ever figure out what the Ohne were, or how technologically advanced they might have been (or were in the past)?
@@Rougarou99 No, the Ohnes only appeared in the one episode and were never mentioned again. We can see they were technologically advanced, but there's no indication that they ever interacted with other species -- other than Omaroca's role on ancient Earth.
Destiny is 1 instance of a ChatGPT like system created and deployed by Altereans to tag planets and create gate travel on to them.
and we will never know what could have been. At least there were the comics that kind of gave an ending to the series but i wish there was another season or 2.
comics are not a canon so it doesnt matter whether they would recieve more seasons or not.
@@lazy_riveN as for additional seasons I was referring to the show not the comics and I started off we will never know. Nevertheless, canon or not, it was something better than nothing, licensed through MGM and there was no canon policy for the show. The comic added an interesting twist for what happened next. For some SGU fans it was a better closure than just being left high & dry.
I think the main reason why I loved SGU so much is quite simply: The Aliens looked like Aliens and not like fucking Humans.
Naja das ist ja auch gut erklärt warum z.B in SG1 die alle wie Menschen aussehen, weil sie das sind. Problem ist nur dass sie alle Englisch sprechen xD Naja, aber sonst hätten wir nicht wirklich so eine Story gekriegt.
Loved this show. It sucked it got cancelled 😟
They look like Kull warriors
Where the Nakai ever mentioned in the destiny novels that came after the show ended
SGU got a novelized adaptation of the pilot, but there were no subsequent novels. I don't know if they came up in the 6-issue comic series.
where the name nakai came from, i watch every episodes i haven''t see someone to call them like that
In this case the name is not canon. It was suggested by executive producer Joseph Mallozzi, in response to fans who for years were tired of calling them the "blue aliens," the "'Space' aliens," and the "blueberries."
lidless eyes....but at 1.10 seconds in the video the nakai clearly blinks :S
Some fish and lizards don't have eye lids but do have a similar sort of gelatinous film/protective layer that can slide back and forth across their eyes to clear them from sand or salt from the sea water.. Also there's quite a few breeds of dogs that as well as having eye lids also have a similar secondary eye lid type thing similar to that I just described with fish and lizards that aren't technically eye lids but serve a similar purpose of protecting the eyes from damage from certain things..
I am not saying this to lesson your comment or point, that's still valid, I only say because I like to learn and share what knowledge I can when I remember it.. So it may be that it's not eye lids but some other type of thing to protect the eye organs..👍❤️👍
Yes, I spotted this in the footage. But I think it's not anything close to a humanoid eyelid, but something similar that effectively does what eyelids do for humans. (See Matthew Hall's comment.)
@@GateWorldDotNet euuhh so it does the same thing as a eyelid... But it's not a eyelid?
It blinked, blinking without any form of eyelid is kinda hard
Wise Man once said "Just because they are aliens and there skulls are transparent dos not mean they don't have rights."
So we’re not going to talk about how we may have seen the Nakai before?
What's this now?
@@GateWorldDotNet I’ve often wondered if the Nakai are somehow connected to the alien that Daniel encountered in season one on P3X-866. They look strikingly similar, they’re both aquatic and it wouldn’t be the first time that the Stargate writing team did something like that, as they did it with the renegade Asegard in Pegasus.
@@terrylong8894 Similar evolutionary path for sure, but don't think they are at all connected beyond both having evolved from underwater creatures.
Chloe was so annoying and suddenly a Mary Sue at times when they tried to justify her being there at all
The changes by the aliens were definitely a bad move. I think that they should have found a way to give her a roles that were more along the line of a moral officer or something.
This is follow up by the typical troupe of genetic materials birthing to a new hybrid humanoid lifeform with the character DNA.
Why is the name noncanon
It was never used in the show, but only revealed by one of the executive producers after the series went off the air. Were they to be referenced again in a future production, the writers could name them something completely different without contradicting any established lore.
@@GateWorldDotNet creepy I came across a planet on soase called Nakai today
Chloe was so hot.
I always thought the Nakai is descendents of the ancient human who didn't accession. Basically, the premises foretold, the ancient scrounge the universe. However, they never told how many ships. Maybe, Nakai is one of them.
i am like 465
This show would have been good if anybody liked eachother, worked together or was fun
Sadly, that’s almost where the show was at when it got cancelled. Animosity between characters was clearly by design for the first 2 seasons. I mean, it made sense from a narrative point of view. The show differs from SG1 and SGA in that the characters weren’t part of a team with a shared and defined purpose.
By the end of season 2 they had settled on a shared purpose and goals and resigned themselves to pursuing them. It’s clear that if there had been a season 3 we would’ve seen a much different interpersonnel atmosphere more akin to SG1 and SGA, only in SGU it would’ve felt more earned and gratifying to see as the viewer had witnessed the work it took to get to that stage.
The show wouldn't have been good if that happened. It would have been boring and an even worse version of Star Trek Voyager. None of these people were meant to be in this situation. An entirely different crew was intended to be the ones who actually boarded Destiny. These people got sent their because Rush was a selfish prick. The show actually was a character driven long form series instead of an episodic plot driven show. The characters have to all be deeper and carry the show with a lot more than just the "bridge crew."
SGU just aired like 4-6 years too soon. Had it came out later, it would have been at the peak of sci-fi shows. Deep characters, facing challenges learning to work with and trust each other, and learning the secrets of the ship and its mission. That is at least a 5 year arc, and even after that 5 years they still haven't completed or solved the mystery that initiated the Destiny's mission.
@@vitisku2000 Its like they wanted to be BSG
SGU really didn’t have a big bad guy like SG1 and Atlantis, they and the Lucian Alliance were sort of the closest we got.
@Chris G I never really got that far. I sort of just got bored of it, never really felt into it.
The point of SG:U was pretty meh imo. SG:Atlantis made so much sense for the 8th chevron. The whole 9th chevron was bogus and the Destiny ship was crap as a concept. This is what doomed SG:U. Basically they copied Star Trek. SG1 = TOS, Atlantis = TNG, Universe = DS9 + Voyager combined but not done very well.
The most interesting part of SGU, and we hardly saw anything of it! Too busy dwelling on boring soap opera story lines... what a waste.
Man, this show tried way too hard to be Battel star galactica. I just wanted some good sg campiness.
I love stargate. I hate the SGU destiny. Abomination
Chloe was such an annoying character
shame universe sucked so much no one cares...
