"Are our loving Ancients of Stargate described the way they should be?"
The theme question(s) of the essay I am writing is "Ancients. Who and what are the Ancients really in the Stargate Universe? What are their true technological advancement abilities? What is their true potential?"
In my essay I will answer the first question, which will support and feed off of the basis of my second question, third, and so on and why I wrote the essay. The theme question(s) that I have asked everyone and wondered myself, will be where I point out the flaws that the Writers of Stargates have made on the Ancients. As well as their limitations that has been placed on them by some of the fans and the Writers of MGM. I know for sure that this essay is going to spark a huge percentage of debate either outside of this Stargate Forum or in the forum/thread itself I'm sure. If it doesn't, oh well. But my point is to reveal the flaws and limitations we have placed upon the Ancients. I will defend my position by explaining why and what mistakes the Writers of MGM have made. I will then clarify what limitations have been placed on the Ancients who are, as far as we know of and have been told by the Stargate Writers themselves, that the Ancients are one of the most powerful races to have ever existed in the Universe and to have gotten to a state of power where they could evolve, or as Stargate explains it "ascended" to a higher plane of existence.
I know for sure, you will be quite edged by some of the revelations I have written in my essay if you are not familiar with the Ancients or the mistakes that have been made upon them. Do not mistake me my friends that I do not like the Ancients. Far from it, I LOVE the Ancients. They are my favorite race in the Stargate Universe with the Wraith and Tau'ri falling in 2nd & 3rd place behind. And to love a race such as the Ancients, you must question them and critique what the writers of Stargates have done or others as of matter of fact in order to try to better fuel our understanding of the Ancients.
I will touch upon the Ancients history as well as their technology. Mainly their technology however and what the Ancient’s true potential is (which is the main reason why I am writing/wrote this essay).
The History I am going to talk about is:
- The War with the Wraith which will be subdivided between the seeding of human life in the Pegasus galaxy just as it was seeded in the Milky Way and the elimination of the Wraith.
- The exodus out of the Ori galaxy and the search for a new home.
The “Who and What” the Ancients are that I will talk about are:
- Where the Ancients came from and who they are as a people and how the rose to power.
- The difference between societies and nature of the Ori, Alterans, and Lantians.
- The Ancients Physiology and its effects and how their growth evolved through time.
- Their place in the Universe as Universal Powers.
- Their might and roots in other alien societies.
- How they grew as a race to fully achieve ascension.
The points on Technology and the Ancients true potential I will talk about are:
- The Drone Weapons
- The Ancients Stellar Engineering
- The Stargates
- Megastructures
- Cities & Cityships
- Dakara Super Weapon
- Ancient Power sources such as the ZPMs & Arcturus
- Ancient Ships
- What technologies the Ancients should have been also revealed using in the series.
- Out a phase technology (such as cloak devices)
- Janus’s Time Machine.
- Shield Technology
- The Ascender Resequencer
- And much, much more.
- And of course, the answer to the limitations placed on the Ancients.
Those are the topics I will discuss in this thread. I will release Parts of the Essay steadily, to allow Gaters to read through thoroughly and of course debate on the subject. I will not debate much at first until I have posted the entire essay so that Gaters may see what I have written and stated. I will defend my position as best as possible.
Also, I’d like to strongly make clear that I will not tolerate inappropriate criticism of other people for their opinions on this debate of this essay. If you do that, don’t even voice yourself here. Let’s keep this thread clean with debates, not hostilities because of someone else’s opposing statement that angered or frustrated an individual. I won’t tolerate other’s calling people names just because you or someone else is losing to a healthy debate and you can’t defend your position well enough. But if the other debater is agitating the other person on purpose, get off this thread.
It’s almost like the famous quote states:
“He who angers you conquers you.” – By Elizabeth Kenny
Basically meaning, if you get angry during a debate and you reveal it by calling a person a name because you’re frustrated, you’ve lost. So please, keep this thread ladies and gentlemen clean. Thanks!
