Asgard Sensors and the Trust

[singlecub25]

Well if Thor was able to creat a weapon that detected Gou'lds and transported them to another place (Thor's Hammer) I think the asgard could help earth by developing a satelite sensor that would circle the earth and detect Gou'lds on the planet surface, more importantly the trust members that have been blended. Then transport them and remove the Gou'ld like they did with Cadwell.

End of the trust and we can move on to bigger fish.

Comments?

I think that would be very plausible for when they want to end the Trust story line aspect. But as of now it would be to easy ;-) End of the Trust.

The Asgard have other things to worry about, and that a satellite sensor is probably overkill for a few corrupt people on one little planet.

Also, they'd have to think of a damn good cover story to cover so many prominent people disappearing.

Ba'al's probably already though of a counter measure against that... something like every 108 mins he has to insert 04 08 15 16 23 42 into a computer & hit execute or the entire North Western hemisphere blows up... (Merging Series...)

Or a simple solution to present in the show would be that the sensor they use to detect gould can only work short range, like only a few metters or somthing like that. Or the drug that the gould develop to hide the symbiot from our sensors was also develop to fall the asguard sensors to useingknowlege gain anubis perhaps. The second one could also explain why the anicent sensors never detect the gould in the city of atlantis.

Or instead of coming up with reasons that it doesn't work we just go with the standard response to all of the "Why didn't the Asgard just do X" and "Why didn't the Ancients just do Y", because it would be to easy and the writers were too intellectually lazy to actually work the tech into the story in a realistic manner.

In the same vein "Why didn't the Asgard just send an O'Neill or two over to Peagsus to take care of the Asurans?" It would take them a day or so, provide them will access to another Ancient database, help out their allies, and end another potential replicator threat before it spreads.

Or "Why didn't they just throw a black hole gate into the star and wipe out the system?"
Or "Why didn't they just use a cloaked jumper to drop off the tainted ZPM?"
Or "Why didn't they just use Merlin's Phase Shifting device and a ZPM to provide total security for the earth?"
Or "Why didn't they ever construct any automated space defenses in the Sol system?"

The list of plotholes in Stargate is very long.

Except we see the Asgard detect every Goa'uld and Jaffa on a planet from orbit and beam them all away in the same episode. Without getting any of the humans on the world. Which means that the Asgard sensors can differentiate from that kind of range.

These are not plot holes, Earth doesn’t have the resources to do everything that you’ve mentioned. The phase shifting was only used in ‘The Road Not Taken’ as they had no other option, if they could have powered the drones they would have. Also the Asurans would have been smart enough to spot if a ZPM was going to destroy their hole star system.

The Asgard were too busy rebuilding their empire to help Earth fight the Asurans, they were also helping in ways of battling the Ori ,remember that at that point there weren't many Asgard left alive. They had also been working on the core as a gift to Earth for a year as well as the new technology that was installed on the Odyssey including the APBW, that were used in defeating the Asurans.

The Asgard already have the entire Ancient Repository of Knowledge and they “have only scratched the surface” as Thor said, so it wouldn’t have taught them anything new. Also they thought they had solved their cloning problem, but this solution is what made them decide to commit mass suicide

Asgard sensors can, but whether Area 51 can reproduce them in such a way is debatable. They couldn't produce the anti-Replicator satellite technology quick enough to battle the Asurans and Earth seems only interested right now in building a big a fleet of 304's as possible. Once there is a fleet of desired sized they will most likely start spending the money that is spent on ship production on other technology.
