Nemesis (322)

[ajay]

They look very purple-ish. They change more towards grey which is a far better color for them. They look like toy-bugs in their purple state, not that it makes them less lethal, but it almost gives them a "cute" look.

I always figured the replicator change color depending on what they "eat". They turned grey because of the iron and steel feedstock they consumed on Earth.

Anyway, perhaps someone can answer something for me. And apologies if this has been brought up already. Major Davis says the stargate they beam up to the ship has enough power in it to dial out once. If that's the case, why did they need a lightning strike to power the gate to dial out from Ernest's planet? Or other episodes where they have to hook up a naquadah generator to dial out?

[Britta]

Perhaps because the gate had just been hooked up to the SGC power supply. Maybe the DHD on Ernest's planet had been damaged long enough for that gate's charge to dissipate.

[fems]

I would also guess that the difference is that the SGC's gate doesn't rely on a DHD and has its own power source, much like it having been attached to a naquadah generator (which they really should have done later on to save on the electric bill...).

I like it when new evil or good characters are introduced - these buggers are creepy, nasty and new to the SGC. Much to expect if you watch for the first time. Would like to have one as a toy - I should have contacted Reese.

So does anyone know what Daniel's (well Michael Shanks's) role was in the original script before he got struck down by that burst appendix? I heard he was heavily involved before they just shot the whole thing without him.

And obviously the fishing invitation thing was lifted by Atlantis for Sunday, I definitely have no problems with that

I like the replicaTors, not their best episode but at least it introduced us to the beauty that is shotgun vs replicator.

Yes, pieces being scattered all around.

[maneth]

Creepy and claustrophobic. That scuttling sound gives me the creeps every time.

[Tyrathraxus]

Maneth: Agreed. Esp when you hear it before you see it.

I liked this episode. Esp when O'Neill ordered them to stay out of it. I mean really? Could it be any more obvious they would be beamed up too?

As their commanding officer he had to order them not to come.

[Tyrathraxus]

Oh yeah, but as soon as Hammond was in on their meeting couldn't you tell he would just override him .. I know I could!

[jelgate]

Given Jack's insubordination, do you think he would listen? Remember, he is in control of the Asgard ship

[Tyrathraxus]

Jack wasn't in control of much . He had to watch the videos to pick it up and even then I doubt he could do anything they were not already programmed to do.

[jelgate]

He could choose not to beam them up

[Anja]

He could choose not to beam them up

Maybe he didn't know - didn't he want to beam up stuff??
