This is what Heimdall said about the 30,000 year old Asgard, "He is from a time before our program of genetic manipulation became irreversible." So the Asgard have been manipulating their DNA for at least 30,000 years.

Silicon-based humanoids... I'll pass, thanks. If that's the best visual they could come up with, then the race ain't worth it.sigpic
More fun @ Spoofgate!

I don't think they will be seen again, as I don't know what kind of role they would play in an future movies? Although it might be nice to get the odd line about them, like "well we will have to wait about another 5 hours till the Apollo returns, as its currently out checking on the status of the Sakari re-seeding"
Also out of all of the other one hit wonder Aliens I would love to see the Gadmeer again. I know there are many other stories an SG-1 movie can tell, but it would be nice to catch up on them to see if they finished the terraforming. Maybe we could see them at the start of an SG movie, or have to go to them to get some technological help? It would also be nice to see (well kinda see) the Re'tu again. Again maybe showing them at the start of an SG-1 movie with SG-1 battling some on another planet, before returning to the SGC and then getting briefed on the movies actual plot.

Accoding to JM's blog, the name of the race is : Sekkari."I was hoping for another day. Looks like we just got a whole lot more than that. Let's not waste it."
"Never underestimate your audience. They're generally sensitive, intelligent people who respond positively to quality entertainment."
"Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today, but the core of science fiction, its essence, has become crucial to our salvation, if we are to be saved at all."

"scarthed earth" in season 4 of sg-1
and was it just me or did they look kinda like the aliens in the episode
"fifth man" in season 5 of sg-1
Shame they had to meet a cool new race, and it will probably be a one ht wonder. It would be great if they got be touched upon in the movie, but I doubt it.

I know this is slightly off topic.. but in the episode "Scorched Earth" if I remember correctly, that race was freed from slavery and they found a world that worked for them.. since they would go blind without being in a specific atmosphere.. then a thought came to my head...
Would the Goauld lord even consider that when having them serve him/her and why would this lord pick a race with such a big detriment? I mean why would I pick a race that goes blind in most atmospheres when there are tons of humanoids out there without this problem to be my slaves? It doesnt make sense..
Back to THIS episode.. Its pretty cool to know another race was around doing things way before any of the races we have met so far.
We have seen some really cool alien races brought to us this season.. too bad I am sure a large percent of them we wont know much more about after it ends..sigpic
I love the big hairy fuzzy men on TV, mmmm

Now that's a really good point. Scorched Earth, incidentally, is my favourite episode. Although I have to admit it has been a while since I watched it. OK there are three points that I want to make on this subject.
1. I believe that there was something vague mentioned early on in the episode to do with the caves in which the Enkarens were sheltering. I think they were used by the Goa'uld for mining, and there was something to do with the caves that was like the conditions on the world that they came from. Therefore the Goa'uld took them because they were better suited to those conditions underground.
2. The above doesn't matter really. The Goa'uld simply don't care. They have the technology to overcome any issues like that, and anyway it doesn't matter to them really what happens to the slaves in the long term. They were probably just passing the Enkaren's home world at the time they decided they needed a large body of slaves. Purely random that the Enkarens were taken.
3. Again, the Goa'uld just don't care. They may have taken the Enkaren's as slaves for a project that involved conditions the same as their home world, and then changed their minds and went off and did something else. They're not going to care enough about slaves to return them to their planet, and the Enkarens were just lucky enough that the Goa'uld had the technology with them so that they simply didn't die at once as soon as they were on the new planet. They're probagbly lucky that the Goa'uld bothered to use any technology for them at all - most likely it came down to the System Lord not being able to be bothered to go out and find more slaves and simly telling his first prime or whoever to sort the problem out.sigpic

Maybe the Sekkari were humanoid because that is the most efficient form for an intelligent being. The Goa'uld only became prominent after taking human hosts, the Ancients and Nox were human-like, the Wraith are human-aretes hybrids, the end form of replicators are always human, the Daedalus Variations aliens are humanoid, etc. I like to believe that more than they were on a tight budget.

The Goa'uld actually became prominent after taking Unas hosts, and only switch to Humans latter in their history as we where easier to control and had slightly bigger brains, and where more able to use technologies (smaller and more useful hands ect...).
The Re'tu are a great example of a race which looked nothing like a Human (although they did share some humanoid characteristics, like an upright body structure and forward facing eyes) They were also purely CGI based and where made back in a time when CGI was not as advanced as it is today. So personally I am rather disappointed with the overall look of the Sakari. I liked their metallic bodies however, but apart from that they just looked too much like the aliens we have seen before (asgard, Re'ol), They could have come up with something so much better and original, especially since they where using CGI to create them in the first place.sigpicBanner Made By Me for MeThe Red Team proudly supports Stargate: Universe, Suck it Blue

I suppose I was curious because regardless of how cruel they were, it would be like grabbing a guy with one arm to sweep the floor when tons of guys with 2 arms are standing around doing nothing..
ok.. going to box set now LOLsigpic

I think it is unlikely you'll see these guys again. Evolution will take millions of years (unless the AI of the probe finds itself connected to McKay's copy of 'Spore'). Of course there's always the chance that a time travel (booo) episode might reintroduce them, or there could be Sekkari in stasis or maybe even a small colony of them living on some backwater world. I mean, the probe only knows what was going on up till the moment of it's launch, right?
I liked the 'Seeding Pod'; gotta admitt, putting everything about your race, as well as an instant Sekkari gene map in something the size of a dorm fridge is pretty cool. OH, and the power source that can run for millions of years? Oh, and a sentient AI? The Sekkari have got some stuff going on, all right?
