Hermiod is basically both the Rodney McKay and John Shepard of the Asgard - the intelligence and narcissism of the former, the snarkiness of the latter.
Well I mean, if you were an alien hyper-genius that made Earth's most-brilliant engineers look like toddlers playing with blocks, and you were forced to work with these guys, you'd be exasperated a lot too. 😁
Personal headcannon for how Hermiod got the job: Supreme Commander Thor: The humans are investigating the Pegasus galaxy and will need assistance from an Asgard who will remain on their ship. Who here still believes we should not be helping the humans? Hermiod: I do, the humans are too stupid and we should not be helping them in any way. Thor: Thank you for volunteering.
He has the energy of someone that really didn't want the job but was told to suck it up and do it. And it's only his proffesionalism that keeps him there.
indeed could totally picture him and thor in a discussion: Hermiod: "Those humans need an overseer, they are merely childs" Thor: "Well you got the job" Hermiod thinking: "i didn't mean me, i... i meant someone else dammed!!" Hermiod: "..." Hermiod: "It will be an honor"
@@TheCyberloki Actually he was there to determine if Earth is worthy of getting Asgard tech... in essence he supposedly in his report then said that yes, Earth is about the only chance of their legacy not being squandered and perverted like Ancient one was with Goauld. and he also said that humans will use the technology for BOTH war and peace... as that is our nature. I do not remmeber which book or story it was. in the end - he kind of said that we are more like them, then the ancients.
@@crobar1 Did a few minutes of googling. Looks like it comes from the ebook "Hermiod's Last Mission" by T. Fox Dunham which is part of Stargate SG-1/Atlantis: Points of Origin. It's on Amazon.
is it wrong to think the only reason Hermiod was assigned to Daedalus was because he is always like this and the rest of the Asgard just want a break from him?
@@kishascape This was before they committed their mass suicide. Hermiode most certainly died too. He doesn't appear in later seasons of Atlantis (that take place after the finale of SG-1). Spoiler alert for book novels: Hermiode also has a secret mission while working aboard the Daedalus - to determine whether human race would be a good candidate to receive all their technology after they're gone.
Interesting little tidbit, when Hermion is muttering what seems like gibberish, he's actually speaking backwards. For example at about 1:50 (after Sheppard asks if he's supposed to be naked) his gibberish is actually something along the lines of "these humans are infants", just backwards.
2:40 I love that Hermiod seems accusatory for a moment, expecting the human to have done something stupid. Then Mckay explains what he did and how it reveals the gravity of the situation, and Hermiod pretty much just agrees with Mckay's assessment. "Crap, indeed."
Honestly, the Asgard are my favorite alien race of all time. They're polite, straightforward and honest with you, yet are fully willing to talk to you as an equal if you can impress them or give them a reason to be. Plus, they stick to their word and believe in Quid Pro Quo. If I could pick an ideal "First Contact" species, it would be them, 100%. They will treat you with the respect you treat them.
I actually heard that this scene was improv by McKays actor because the Women misunderstood direction and stood in the wrong place blocking him. So he stayed in character and since he did not know the name he just went with "airperson, don´t be there."
I work in IT "Sir, I found the issue" My Manager: "what was it?" "Somehow the update removes all stored languages if you saved a file an even number of times."

“Am i the only one who thinks it’s weird we’re working with an Alien” Yeah, you ARE the only one, and it’s kinda weird you have that opinion given how many times you’ve should’ve gotten used to the idea by then
To be fair John wasn't even aware of aliens before the Atlantis expedition, and there were mostly humans in the Pegasus galaxy, aside from wraith. Pretty sure that was his first time meeting an asgard since they'd used to stargate to travel to the Milky Way
I agree that even if I had met the wraith at this point, hanging out with a Grey, especially with how casual everyone else is about it, would have taken me a while to get used to.
I'd watch a show just about Novak and Hermiod. The biggest tragedy of losing the Asgard race was losing all of these great interactions between them and the silly humans.
Hermiod was the best asgard hands down. Not only the smartest, but not burdened by shallow fake morals, if his job was to teleport bombs into the enemy ship, well he was going to do it. And he was the only one in the whole freaking universe who could look down on McKay and not by underestimating him.
I think it was part of the attraction for him. He could never admit it, even to himself but he knew she was cleverer than him. I almost thought his sister was, too but then I came to the conclusion that they are on a level. It's just that she's more imaginative and can think outside the box while Rodney is more constrained by rigid mathematical logic.
@@stevearmstrong9213 Rodney sort of admitted it to her at the beginning of season 6 in the infermery after she gets a shock when the EMP generator goes ary.
McKay created a machine that brought him to the point of ascension but at the last minute decided not to. In one episode he did what Daniel did in a while story arc.
The Asgard are an interesting case. Due to them just cloning themselves and transferring their consciousness into the new body, they remain at their positions in their society forever. Thor was Supreme Commander of the Asgard fleet and that position probably didn't open up for thousands of years. So Hermiod was a scientist, doing research and dealing with the same kind of problem for milennia. So of course he's developing a no nonsense attitude.
Any scientist worth his or her salt realizes they know very little outside of their specific area of specialization. Hermiod's superior attitude is a reflection of the same type of mindset in many human scientists these days, who feel themselves morally superior because they are experts in a narrow field.
I think you're thinking it in a too human way. I am not so sure the Asgard are after ambition (as in being ""promoted""), and being a scientist might actually be the best position for a civilisation running after knowledge and progress. Also, I guess they could change job if they wanted to. Thor could have left his commandership but he probably liked it and was very efficient.
@@Darlf_Sevil don't you know what moral superiority means? It's not acting more moral, or being more moral than another, ot means your morality overrides theirs, it os the mindset of a would-be master
For good reason, imagine being genius in a same room full of idiots, but there is one person who has average intelligence. Which one would you communicate with?
He was so "beloved" by the rest of his race that he got exiled... ehm promoted to babysit... assist bunch of primitives who play with technology, beyond their understanding, they slapped together and call it a ship. That's my interpretation anyway.
stop..talking...please, would have been epic even if he didn't use it on Cavanaugh. Cavanaugh was just a nice cherry on top. Forgot how much I hated that guy.
it always confused me how they diliked using the beaming tech as a weapon and yet they had no issue beaming people up with out permission or blowing hostile ships to pieces i mean with how advanced their scanners were they could have just beamed the control systems of hostile ships out once they breeched the shields thus disabling them and forcing them to withdraw which is why i suspect the whole not using beaming as a weapon was a plot device more than anything.
Well for one, humanity at that point wasn't supposed to get weapon technology from the Asgard, so using the transporters as a weapon was kind of against the agreement so to speak. Also I guess using the transporter tech as weapon might be to Hermiod like somehow using penicilin as weapon, twisting something for a peaceful purpose into a weapon.
tis a slippery sloop - and its also agreed that asgards don't like them to do such things or use such weapons for a chance for them to do use it against them even if they are allies - (human history is explain for this too easy to turn on each other) - secondly from a story standpoint its super easy
@@sephiroaone-of-nine101 well, we don't want a slippery sloop. Or the seamen will be all over the place in rough weather. The Asgard have good reason to be concerned in that case.
Murmuring to himself has given him so much character. This superior race. These highly logical beings. A beacon of hope in the galaxy. Revered by many. One of the four races and STILL... Not impervious to some good ol' irritation courtesy of our beloved Dr. Novak.
I have to say, I rather enjoy Hermiod's snarkiness. The Asgard have a way of expressing themselves that is incisive, clinical and deadpan without necessarily being overbearing.
The Asgard have such command over the English language (or lantean spoken in this case... i guess?) that they could say "go to hel" and you'd be happily sending yourself there.
They really needed hermiod to be a regular, have one random grunt that'd been with the SGC a while and gets the whole 5th race thing who calls him out on his arrogance, poiintingnout 'sure, you're smarter, but we still saved you.. repeatedly, as you saved us... so maybe try to get along better'.
I quickly stopped watching Stargate Atlantis in the first season... why didn't anyone tell me Novak becomes a recurring character on Atlantis? She's been a favorite of mine ever since the hiccups.
Eh, maybe they can do it for their amusement or they feel good from helping like us humans do. If peolle teach dogs how to open doors and monkey how to crack open coconuts i can see aliens having some reason similar to that
Haha "Is he supposed to be naked like that". Imagine you are an alien on a ship with a different alien species and you just don't wear clothes and eat weird stuff just to f*ck with them.
RIP Asgardians from Ido Galaxy and Outcast Asgardians from Pegasus galaxy :'( so, Asgard official extinct. 😭😭😭😭😭😭 They are awesome and advance race! Unfortunately, they can't solve clone problem.
If I remember in the books one of the ascendent Asgards returned to our plain of existence and using their eggs they tried to recreate the civilization.
"Ah, so they _can_ fly that ship without you! :p" "Yes. But apparently _you_ cannot run these tests without me." Suck it up, Meredith. You set yourself up _perfectly_ for that one.
I always love little moments of Asgard characters appreciating human simplicity. "Crap, Indeed." Cause Thor posited it very early on that The Asgard's technological and genetic advancement has made it hard for them to think in simplier direct ideas and solutions. Thus it was one of humanity's greatest strengths that even as they gain access to vast knowledge, they don't over complicate things. So when ever an Asgard has moments like that I love it cause it shows the appreciation they have for human simplicity.
The writers needed a way to kick the training wheels off, you cant very well make it about humans if they could run to a race like the ancients, asgard, or nox for a new toy whenever humans got into trouble. So they sealed the nox away and killed everyone else that could help.
Haha I absolutely love the internal monologues you add, randomly stumbling across Stargate content again on TH-cam just brings back so much nostalgia 😌 (even though SG1's first few seasons were even before I was born). Thank you so much for bringing back so many fond memories of watching this show during the long summer breaks from school, this being Australia with nothing else to do as well... On a side note though, it always felt strange to me how the showrunners decided in Unending to kill all Asgardians (if thats the word?), it always felt so unnecessary. Their primary enemy (replicators) wiped out, Ori (being checked and also fighting on a limited force across three galaxies) and Goa'uld all gone. The idea of irreparable damage being done to their people due to genetic cloning also didn't feel imminent, it always makes one wonder what they would've done in their original SG1 season 11 storyline if they were greenlit for another season. But alas, the Asgard beam sure came in handy later on in SG:A's run, albeit discarded again in SG:U.
Hermiod is basically both the Rodney McKay and John Shepard of the Asgard - the intelligence and narcissism of the former, the snarkiness of the latter.
VestedUTuber 😂 yes, they are all so iconic
All the Asgard are played by Shanks, so it makes sense.
Shanks definitely didn't do Heimdall (that was Teryl Rothery) and a quick Google search says Hermiod (and Kvasir) were voiced by Trevor DeVall
Feels more like colonel O’Neill and McKay
Well I mean, if you were an alien hyper-genius that made Earth's most-brilliant engineers look like toddlers playing with blocks, and you were forced to work with these guys, you'd be exasperated a lot too. 😁

2:51 when found a mutating computer virus.
Hermiod is the cutest 😍
I actually like Hermoid. Lets be honest he put our stupid human asses in our place and yes we need to be put in our places!
He opens his mouth once and utters a whole sentence. One helluva skill there, folks!
Indeed.
I miss the Asgard 😢
Anyone else think the Stargate Universe series probably goes at least 3 seasons if Hermiod had a "twin" on Destiny...
...complete with snarkiness!
Shocked Novak's hickups didn't kick in more dealing with Hermiod...
STOP TALKING PLEASE.
crap, didn't notice I made this same comment over a year ago. wtf
RIP Asgardians from Ido Galaxy and Outcast Asgardians from Pegasus galaxy :'( so, Asgard official extinct. 😭😭😭😭😭😭 They are awesome and advance race! Unfortunately, they can't solve clone problem.
Are the Pegasus galaxy Asgard's extinct? They only destroyed a couple of their ships
If I remember in the books one of the ascendent Asgards returned to our plain of existence and using their eggs they tried to recreate the civilization.
@@tinamoul yes, that destroyed ships are all Asgardians in. Only small group.
@@foca2002 what!! I need that source so I can look it up! :)
@@robhyde8067 Nah, I distinctly remember them saying they colonized a planet with a toxic atmosphere. It wasn't just the ones on that ship.
When you play backwards what Hermiod says, you can hear what's being said, because it is reversed English!
"Ah, so they _can_ fly that ship without you! :p"
"Yes. But apparently _you_ cannot run these tests without me."
Suck it up, Meredith. You set yourself up _perfectly_ for that one.
Stop talking please !!!!!
I don't know much about this show, but my uncle was one of the dudes who did the special effects for this show so thats pretty cool.
That’s so cool! You should watch it, it’s so good.
LOL 1:49 "These humans are infants" Never realized their language was just English backwards.
4:41 was the truly iconic moment
Consciousness comes from everywhere. Why can’t this guy be a field creator too?
Stop. Talking. Please.
The Asgard just didn't make a ship named after O'Neil, they also took his sass. lol
An alien called after a Hemorrhoid..... what were they thinking...
Dr Kavanaugh......stop talking please is my absolute top line in all of Atlantis.
I always love little moments of Asgard characters appreciating human simplicity. "Crap, Indeed." Cause Thor posited it very early on that The Asgard's technological and genetic advancement has made it hard for them to think in simplier direct ideas and solutions. Thus it was one of humanity's greatest strengths that even as they gain access to vast knowledge, they don't over complicate things. So when ever an Asgard has moments like that I love it cause it shows the appreciation they have for human simplicity.
Should've had him speaking Norse.
Shoot, I had no idea Hermiod had that much screen time
The Asgard are so awesome. Shame they killed them off.
STOP. TALKING. PLEASE.
I didn't like what happened to the asgard in season 10 of sg1, wish they kept them around so we could get more scenes with Hermiod
The writers needed a way to kick the training wheels off, you cant very well make it about humans if they could run to a race like the ancients, asgard, or nox for a new toy whenever humans got into trouble. So they sealed the nox away and killed everyone else that could help.
Haha I absolutely love the internal monologues you add, randomly stumbling across Stargate content again on TH-cam just brings back so much nostalgia 😌 (even though SG1's first few seasons were even before I was born). Thank you so much for bringing back so many fond memories of watching this show during the long summer breaks from school, this being Australia with nothing else to do as well...
On a side note though, it always felt strange to me how the showrunners decided in Unending to kill all Asgardians (if thats the word?), it always felt so unnecessary. Their primary enemy (replicators) wiped out, Ori (being checked and also fighting on a limited force across three galaxies) and Goa'uld all gone. The idea of irreparable damage being done to their people due to genetic cloning also didn't feel imminent, it always makes one wonder what they would've done in their original SG1 season 11 storyline if they were greenlit for another season. But alas, the Asgard beam sure came in handy later on in SG:A's run, albeit discarded again in SG:U.
So glad your enjoying the videos!!
Cool little dude.
0:01 When did Skinner from X Files get go on space ships with aliens
4:05 khal drogo, Aquaman😏
