New Powerful Race .Spoilers for doppelganger

[Chemp]

Extract from WIKIPEDIA
The doppelgängers of folklore cast no shadow, and have no reflection in a mirror or in water. They are supposed to provide advice to the person they shadow, but this advice can be misleading or malicious. They can also, in rare instances, plant ideas in their victim's mind or appear before friends and relatives, causing confusion. In many cases once someone has viewed his own doppelgänger he is doomed to be haunted by images of his ghostly counterpart.

Other folklore says that when a person's doppelgänger is seen, the person him/herself will die shortly. It is considered unwise to try to communicate with a doppelgänger.

Any Ideas on the ep?

[SallyLizzie]

My immediate thought when I read that title was replicators; that perhaps one of the team is replicated. I know it's already been done on SG1, but so has the replicator storyline. I figured they'd just throw an Asuran twist on it, lol.

[Promethius30]

I thinks its something to do with the name of the episode

[Copernicus]

Beckett the Asuran.

EDIT: I have no idea whether or not I mean this as a joke. Only time will tell.

[Ripple in Space]

Simon Wallace meets Narim

[Ltcolshepjumper]

Narim criticizes Simon for dumping Weir.

[Wormhole]

Could be someone from the future to warn the past Can you see your futures shadow?

[AlexD]

Beckett the Asuran.

EDIT: I have no idea whether or not I mean this as a joke. Only time will tell.

Actually I did laugh when I read it, I thought it was funny *Don't get me wrong, folks, I loved Carson as a character *

Well, let's hope it's not Lucius replicated to an inifinite number...

[Ltcolshepjumper]

THAT would suck.

[AlexD]

THAT would suck.

Totally , LOL

[DivineLight]

Also from wikipedia

"Doppelgänger" has come to refer (as in German) to any double or look-alike of a person—most commonly an "evil twin".

Another alternate universe episode similar to McKay and Miller? Maybe an Asuran copy of some Stargate character? Maybe Mckay has another psychotic episode ala Grace?

[Bendinae]

Well, let's hope it's not Lucius replicated to an inifinite number...

*shudder* The Harry Mudd of the Pegasus Galaxy.

Ohh, i like that possibility. Perhaps that ancient who did the time travel work (from long sleep) did more work, and is jumping around..

thats original, perhaps his time jumper is bigger on the inside and he has been fighting an army of goa'uld who have special "life support mecines" instead of hosts..

I might not be original, but it already happened in SG.
See SG1's "Its Good to Be King".

We don't know what else Janus got up to, only that he ended up on Maybournes planet as his ship was found there. So its quite possible that he could appear again in Atlantis.

As for Doppelganger episode... maybe it has something to do with cloning? There have been a number of SG1 clone related episodes. But I don't recall any Atlantis clones yet, not including Alternate reality versions.

Something i always thought would be interesting is if the gate malfunctioned and somehow the energy pattern stored in the buffer wasn't erased upon reintegration and then a second copy of yourself came though. Essentially a perfect clone. Would create some major moral issues, as they'd both be the real deal...
