When are we going to become the Fifth Race?(Unending Spoilers)

[Admiral Mappalazarou]

I don't think Death and Destruction is what gets you into the club.

Damn

[fallenexile452]

If what Daniel mentioned in the episode is true and the meeting place did have meaning of life stuff in it then surely the alliance isn't just about sharing technology but also culture and philosophy and other things like that. If that is the case then the ancients appearing as humans to talk to us wouldn't be interfering, maybe walking the line but not doing enough to cross it.

Considering the Nox are pacifists in the extreme, death and destruction is probably the worst thing you can do whilst trying to get in.

I think there aren't a set string of tests but more some general points on which you are considered, such as your society, tech level etc but i would have also though that each race would be looking for something different and only when all of the four races accept you as an equal do you get in.

When are we going to become the Fifth Race?

Probably never, the alliance doesn't seem to exist anymore.

[Ponytoad]

When we're socially acceptable to the other 4 races I'd say ;0)
Or When they're happy to have us 'openly' over for tea lol.

About...10 generations after the Gate is revealed...no, make it 50; we have to wait for the idiots to die out.

[garhkal]

The problem is that, as a race, we're not that unified and the existance of the stargate is still not common knowledge. Us wiping out formidable enemies just shows the great potential we have. We still have a long way to go before we could be considered as of equal footing among the Asgard, Nox, Furlings and the Ancients.

True... IMO until we unify as a planet, and/or make some tech of our own that is not based of stolen/gifted other races tech, we won't be looked at..

[Kath Pup]

Many nations united? Please, they might have a common interest, but if it came down to it, they'd sure pick their own welfare over random state 34.

The "good" parts isn't even close of outweighing the bad parts.

I can't find a single reason why we should be accepted as the fifth race.

Our science isn't evolved enough.
Our political systems are corrupt.
Our society is shattered.
People die because of other peoples greed.
We use superstition to justify massmurder.
We care more about Paris Hilton's new boyfriend than poverty.
99.999% of the world doesn't even know about the SGC.

And now to the "good" sides:
We've managed to use random ancient technology to solve some problems.
We've goa'uld:ed our way to advanced tech(stealing, copying etc.)
We've managed to get a few allies that for the moment we can use to our benefit.


Oh yes, we're sooo deserving of being called a great race.

Couldn't agree more. And it probably won't happen until we stop caring if we become the fifth race or not.

Guess you guys missed the tiny detail that the alliance of the four races doesn't exist anymore...? Hence, humans will never be "the fifth race". I believe the asgard dude was speaking metaphorically, anyway.
