    100 Things You've Learned From Ark Of Truth (tons of spoilers)

    1. It is good that Indiana Jones closed his eyes when they opened the Ark, otherwise he'd been sobbing like a little girl.

    2. The Asgard do not believe in passwords, in fact, their computers can be more easily accessed than a PC.

    3. The Asgard also do not believe in security measures, and tend to include a DIY tutorial on their worst enemy.

    4. Exiled Ancients tend to spend their day cross-dressing and messing with people.

    5. Earth ships can now withstand 20 minutes of continuous fire from Ori motherships, while its main power is being sapped by Replicators.

    6. Ancients like to bury their ships. Sometimes under the sea, other times, inside a mountain.

    7. If you are gravely injured and require a staff to just walk, you can cross continents and mountain peaks in less than one day.

    8. All the power of the Ori cannot stop a box from falling.

    9. When bullets fail, try punching and stabbing.

    10. Zats don't work on Replicators, but what the hell, let's just zat it for fun. It's not like SG1 would know this from the 10 years of missions they went on.

    11. Ori space combat dictates that ships attack from exact opposite sides; this way, when the enemy goes out of phase, they'd incur friendly fire.

    12. The best way to kill a human is to toss him around repeatedly and attack him with less than lethal means.

    13. Earth ships are now made from Unobtainium, no amount of shotgun, machine gun, or C4 explosions can breach the hull.

    14. No enemies of SG-1 will ever think of using projectile weapons, therefore it is not necessary to program that weakness out of the replicators.

    15. Ori troop armors don't do squat, but they still wear it because it looks cool.

    16. Ori never mastered the personal shield technology, that's why their troops still wear armor that don't do squat.

    17. "Severely Restricted Access" means "swipe card once and enter".

    18. Never, ever, in your life time, let the IOA design a plan B, because it'll suck.

    19. Rodney McKay is the only person in two galaxies who can design "good" replicators. But he's busy so let's not bother him with defeating humanity's biggest enemy.

    20. The human form is the most durable form in all known existence. If you stacked replicator blocks into a skeleton, it can now survive a C4 explosion.

    21. For the same reason above, human form is the preferred choice when it comes to evil robots bent on total annihilation, evil robots bent on religious assimilation, and pretty much everything else evil: Dr. Evil, Evil Kenival, Chuck Norris, etc.

    ... to be continued...?

    <sarcasm>Nice sarcasm.</sarcasm>

    5. Earth ships can now withstand 20 minutes of continuous fire from Ori motherships, while its main power is being sapped by Replicators.

    We already know from previous SG-1 history that Replicators can MASSIVELY upgrade a ships engines and shields upon taking control of it; it was likely the actions of the Replicators which allowed the Odyssey to take such a pumelling from the Ori toiletships.

      Actually, we know Replicators can take over other ships with a little ball of replicator blocks, not sitting stationary as enemy ships pummel them. The whole third act made no sense. I don't know why they brought back the replicators of all things to the AoT...

      And why is it that NOBODY ever thought of accessing information on the Furlings from the Asgard core? I mean that thing has EVERYTHING, surely it'll have information about the Furling, what they look like and what happened to them.

      And if not the Furlings, what about the other race? You know, those hippies with floating cities?

        lol

        2. The Asgard do not believe in passwords, in fact, their computers can be more easily accessed than a PC.
        it was designed that way so we would be able to use it

        3. The Asgard also do not believe in security measures, and tend to include a DIY tutorial on their worst enemy.
        again see #2

        4. Exiled Ancients tend to spend their day cross-dressing and messing with people.
        Dunno why she pretended to be Merlin, i have some ideas

        5. Earth ships can now withstand 20 minutes of continuous fire from Ori motherships, while its main power is being sapped by Replicators.
        ZPM

        6. Ancients like to bury their ships. Sometimes under the sea, other times, inside a mountain.
        Not forget the ship that was underground in SGA Inferno

        7. If you are gravely injured and require a staff to just walk, you can cross continents and mountain peaks in less than one day.
        Its TEALC!

        8. All the power of the Ori cannot stop a box from falling.
        Morgan still distracting her maybe

        9. When bullets fail, try punching and stabbing.
        Fight or Flight

        10. Zats don't work on Replicators, but what the hell, let's just zat it for fun. It's not like SG1 would know this from the 10 years of missions they went on.
        Wasn't Sam who fired it. Was a guard. She even said zats wont work

        11. Ori space combat dictates that ships attack from exact opposite sides; this way, when the enemy goes out of phase, they'd incur friendly fire.
        They are sick of us running i guess. I know theres still up and down but the Phoenix got boxed in (somehow lol)

        12. The best way to kill a human is to toss him around repeatedly and attack him with less than lethal means.
        He wanted the deconstruct code

        13. Earth ships are now made from Unobtainium, no amount of shotgun, machine gun, or C4 explosions can breach the hull.
        There was damage. A little broken glass is a big deal

        14. No enemies of SG-1 will ever think of using projectile weapons, therefore it is not necessary to program that weakness out of the replicators.
        How do you program out the weakness that projectile weapons create enough for that the blocks are damage beyond repair

        15. Ori troop armors don't do squat, but they still wear it because it looks cool.
        To be menacing.

        16. Ori never mastered the personal shield technology, that's why their troops still wear armor that don't do squat.
        They didn't trust their followers enough to give them everything they had

        17. "Severely Restricted Access" means "swipe card once and enter".
        Ofcourse, he is allowed to enter that area.

        18. Never, ever, in your life time, let the IOA design a plan B, because it'll suck.
        Yup

        19. Rodney McKay is the only person in two galaxies who can design "good" replicators. But he's busy so let's not bother him with defeating humanity's biggest enemy.
        Heh

        20. The human form is the most durable form in all known existence. If you stacked replicator blocks into a skeleton, it can now survive a C4 explosion.
        The body of Merrick took the brunt of the blast.

        21. For the same reason above, human form is the preferred choice when it comes to evil robots bent on total annihilation, evil robots bent on religious assimilation, and pretty much everything else evil: Dr. Evil, Evil Kenival, Chuck Norris, etc.
        cant think of anything

          Check on the SG-1 episode "Enemies"; the Replicators were able to increase hyperspace speed by 800 fold, and we've seen them make Ba'al's Ha'taks' shields impermeable to standard Goa'uld weaponry, hence them surviving outnumbered battles against Ha'tak fleets.

            Actually, I believe Dev Corvin is right, and the Reps had a hand in massively upgrading the shielding tech on the Odyssey in order to withstand such a pummelling. It made more sense that way, since we know they are capable of self-preservation, and yet they forced the Odyssey to drop out of hyperspace and allowed the Ori motherships to bombard the vessel, even though it would likely have resulted in their destruction as well.

            The most plausible explanation is that the Reps, being driven to reproduce and assimilate advanced technology, deliberately had the Odyssey into contact with the Ori vessels in order to eventually board them once they had reached sufficient numbers to mount a successful assault. Although the humans weren't making things easy as they were constantly depleting the Rep's numbers.

              ...

              You guys are suppose to keep posting odd / funny tidbits about the movie until we reach one hundred!!! Oy...

              As I said before, if the Replicators wanted to get their blocky little hands on Ori tech, they should have just launched themselves through open space onto the Ori ships.

              Also, McKay was able to program a human replicator with a singular purpose, why can't they do the same with the buggy version?

              Heck, even the regular scientists made replicators who knew better than to kill random humans! Why did IOA NOT program the Replicators to go after the Ori?

              Comment

                Because for the most part, the IOA are incompetent buffoons? For all we know, they bailed out some random teenaged hacker who'd been arrested on minor charges to program the crystal since they had no blinking idea on how to do so themselves. There seemed to be a fair amount of foreshadowing in the movie about who programmed the crystal with the info and killswitch, but that never got elaborated upon, so who knows?

                And as for launching themselves into space, the only time we ever saw them capable of doing so was with the Replicator motherships, which were basically massive collections of building blocks, so perhaps they needed large numbers of them in order to construct a launching mechanism powerful enough to propel them such a great distance and with such accuracy. When they gained control of other vessels like Ha'taks and Asgard ships, they never appeared to display this ability and usually boarded other vessels using more conventional methods or with Asgard transport beams.

                  22. Three galaxies, and the same damn trees.

                  23. Hours of potentially painstakingly boring digging for a box can be boiled down to minutes with the help of a hallucinating archeologest and a 10,000 year old dead energy woman.
                  Wraith ships are giant lobsters.

                    24. Ori troops will never fire back when you've just killed their leader.

                    25. The "bad" guy working "with" the good guys will always be the first (and only) to be taken over by his own creation.

                      They were in shock. The man was next to god in their eyes and invulnerable to any violence. As far as they knew. They needed a moment to process what happened, and then were ordered not to fire.

                      No good deed....

                        The replicators we have seen in the series all have prior techonological knowledge. They couldn't have been programed with knowledge more advanced they the Asgard have or the Asgard would have it. ZPMs are godly.

                          26. Replicator blocks are versatile. They can make lego skeleton figures as well as mind-controlling antennas that directly insert into the human brain.

                          27. Pulling out the antenna described above will not result in any bleeding, loss of consciousness, or brain damage. Instead, the person being controlled would instantly regain awareness.

                          28. The Ori love their forks. They even shape their energy weapons into forks. This way, the troops can have themselves a BBQ when done fighting.

                          29. Meanwhile, Ancients have handguns.

                          30. The book of Origins teaches us the importances of taking turns. For example, if you are surrounded by a group of four Ori motherships, rest assured that they will not fire simultaneously, but instead one at a time.

                          31. When a starship is being infested by Replicators, the best thing to do is to send the Captain after them alone and armed with limited ammo.

                          32. Macaroons will heal patients who suffer from severe trauma, concussion, and laceration... Because it's filled with looooove...

                          33. Carter bakes.

                          34. Ori's main method of torture involves chanting. The resulting psychological effect is similar to that of listening to Britney Spear music. ie. Severe headache coupled with quiet sobbing in fetal position.

                          35. Despite their claims, Ori Priors cannot detect an outsider infiltrating their compound, stealing their wardrobe, nor breaking into / out of their prison.

                          36. Alterans keep notes on paper, but store knowledge in head-grabbing machines.

                          37. When the Ori dial the super gate, they need a blackhole. When Carter dials the super gate, she needs nothing.

                          38. On second thought, Carter might be powering the gate with her macaroons.

                          39. Carter bakes with a naqudah-powered oven. Therefore each serving of her macaroons has the same energy as a ZPM.

                              42. Radios dont work if you don't push the button all the way

                              43. Replicators can use acid to eat throu the ceiling to get to a piece of Asgard tech, yet it wont spray the acid on to the people attacking them, to allow it to reach the target
