    United States of Ancients

    I was doing some thinking and there are allot of differences between Alterrans (MW Ancients) and Lantians (PG Ancients). We know that the Alterrans and Ori were the same people only spilt philologically which lead to a split culturaly so could there be such a cultural spilt between the Alterrans and Lantians? only in a less previlent way?

      The Lantians were the Alterrans after their society had several million years to evolve and grow, more akin to the differences between earth societies today and 1000 years ago. think of how different life on this planet will be in about a million years.

I'm sorry that your crew was stupid enough to fire on a station filled with a quarter million civilians, including your own people. And I'm sorry I waited as long as I did before I blew them all straight to hell! As with everything else it's the thought that counts.

        The Alterans and the Lantians are the same people, they just moved from the Milky Way to Pegasus. Not because of some ideological split, but because of the whole plague thing.
        Like Kirath says, the only difference is that of a society evolving naturally.

          Yes. Precisely. Makes total sense.

          We saw the warning signs in Star Wars, every bad guy had a British accent. And now it's coming to pass.

                Yes, but in Doctor Who, the only guy with an American accent was the crazy guy who owned a Dalek. And Captain Jack. I liked Captain Jack, why the hell did they leave him behind?

                    I can live with that. After all, it is a British show.

                    i think there was a split. The ones that were not effected had to go while the ones that were had to stay and live out there dying life. So it could have been a split in that sense. Not a split as in good and evil.

                    America was colonized by the Brits and eventually we became Americans. Same for the Ancients except without a war. After so many generation they became Lantians

                    When My Great Granpa came to the USA that part of y family was Danish. Now after a couple of generation we consider ourselves Americans. Same with my Irish side.

                            WE didn't call them ancients, the Asgard called them ancients in "the fifth race". So obviously they called themselves the ancients way back in the day with the great alliance...or at least everyone else called them that and they didn't correct them. But it wasn't US that named them ancients, otherwise that asgard in fifth race would've said alterran or lantian when he went listing races.
