Menace (519)

[A Wraith Named Bob]

I watched this episode today and I thought it was pretty good. The characters in this episode really reminded me of the original Star Trek. Somewhat.

Any episode with Replicators rocks!

[Trig]

Just watched this one..

How come a simple gun killed her, she was after all a robot was she not and seeing as she was full of nanotech would it not be pretty simple for her to repair herself?

[jelgate]

Your confusing Replicators with robots. Replicators our nanitie blocks. which can be repaired if damanged. A robot is a little more specializied. A certain wire is used to more a certain body part simliar to the way we human need certain muscles to move a certain body part.

[Trig]

Yeah but she had nanites in her didnt she, sam had some under a microscope, so what was the point of those nanites if they cant even repair something as simple as a few holes?

[jelgate]

I'll admit its been awhile since I've seen Meance but if I recall correctly Reese didn't have nanities in her.

[Khentkawes]

Actually, I just watched the episode. And Sam does say that Reese has some form of nanites in her. They figure that's how she made the Replicators.

Quoted from the Stargate SG-1 Solutions transcript guide:

CARTER This is more advanced than any android we've encountered before. Check this out.

[Carter and Janet move to a microscope.]

FRAISER: That some sort of nanotechnology?

CARTER: They seem to be some sort of self-repair mechanism.

So, yes, Reese should be able to repair herself. But maybe Jack shot a vital system. Or, depending on how you'd like to interpret the episode, maybe Reese shut her systems down, or went to sleep on her own. She also could have chosen not to repair the damage. After all, she knew the SGC wasn't going to let her roam free. So what choice did she have?

[Trig]

I'm only part way thru watching all of SG1 again but did the Asgard not end up taking Reece, think it was mentioned in a later ep?

[jelgate]

see Revelations for details

[Trig]

Yeah just watched that one

[Butlersgate]

jack and daniel at the end is insane, really impactive. great episode but reece was very annoying.

[Dinoman]

I feel sorry for both Reese and Daniel. I think Daniel could have sort that out if given a bit more time. Though can't blame Jack he was a bit over-reacted by killing Reese second after entering the gateroom without knowing what's happening and seeing any immediate danger of Daniel. Jack did have very different approach in dealing with alient and robot children. He could be nice to alien children but still he asked Sam to put Cassandra in a bunker and let her blown herself up. For this time I go for Daniel.

Hindsight is 20/20. Its easy to make the decision after the incident but from Jack's perspective you have this robot who was attaking the SGC. He only had time to react.

We as viewers have the priviledge to see the whole picture and any comments made could be classified as 'hindsight'. I understand if I was in Jack's position I might do the same but if I put myself in Daniel's position it was fully understandable why he was so mad with Jack.

This is really one of the best episodes of season 5.

Replicator episodes are fun



The actor playing Reese did a great job . Also SGC with Hammond , they did well together in this episode.

I'm not sure about Daniel's reaction in the end when Jack killed Reese :
'You stupid son of a *****.'

He should be more thankful than that......

Rating : 8 / 10

[The Stig]

Hammond being involved in the action was cool. Good to see more information on the replicators.
