Progeny (305)

[TechnoBoY]

I liked it a lot! Wow! An episode with some meat to it. I like!

It mightve been similar to a few SG1 eps, but they sure did a great job! Good episode, kept me interested!

Yey, more hope for SGA.

highlights in this episode

seeing a city ship fly, our Atlantis getting destroyed (loved that part) the scene where there are 15 or more Aurora class ships overall great CGI

once again SGA makes me forget what happen on SG-1 tonight

I don't know. It was a great episode overall. It left me confused. Did the Ancients create the replicators and if so are they the same as the android Reese we found a long time ago? It kept my attention the whole way through, I have to say. Season 3 is off to a great start.

You would have done differently in Weir's position?

You might not be talking if Atlantis had gotten destroyed in the process.

You saw at the end that Niam couldn't resist the "resetting" of his base code--that is evident enough that Oberoth would not have reconsidered and Atlantis would be sinking in pieces right now.

Well, the original plan should have involved using the update before trying to convince Oberoth or anyone. By changing the plan, they made the others aware of a "problem" with Niam, and so they changed his code. The original plan had plenty of time to be attempted before using the freeze. They jumped the gun and it cost them the opportunity for a great alliance.

Seeing the city ship fly was definitely a high point. But, repeating the Ancient's mistake, they had a chance to make a powerful ally, and they threw it away. The Ancient's are kind of heartless after seeing that, I really don't like them, all those ships firing on the Asuran city. I thought the Asurans attacked the Ancient's, but it seems like the Ancient's let them go build a city, begin a civilization, and then decided just to wipe them out, for no apparent reason. Still, it was nice to see so manyy Lantian ships, but their weapons weren't causing much damage to the city itself.

Its ironic because there isn't 1 noted instance of that type of aggression the lanteans shown against the Asurans while they were battling the wraith. Maybe they should have used that method more on wraith hive ships and things would have turned out differently.

Is it just me or does the Ancients seem no better than anyone else?

I dont even know why McKay said they might be related to the Replicators. Those were created by the andriod girl from that planet. They did reuse the same hand in head effect though.

The first half of this was great. The second half felt like watching Unnatural Selection all over again. It fell completely flat for me.

The same here, as soon as McKay said they are Relicaptors, the episode seem to follow the same path of that episode. But, on the good side, we have them back again in the Stargate. Maybe Niam could be the next 5th.

The team should have just updated the code to Liam and allowed him to at least try. Have the freeze plan as a backup just in case Oberoth couldn't be convinced.

[FoolishPleasure]

It looked great, it felt great at first, I WANTED it to be great, but all it was, was a total rip-off of "Unnatural Selection", which is one of my all time fav SG1 episodes.

Disappointed, to say the least.

[IWantToBelieve]

Exactly, I was loving the episode until it started to feel like I was watching Unnatural Selection. I wonder far Asuras is from Lantia and how long it took for them to get to Lantia using the star drive.

Exactly. The second half was like watching unnatural selection all over again, except that episode had a better solution. I was incredibly disappointed to see that kind of an ending on such a great start.

[Daniel's Sister]

As usual, great ep!

I love how they made Rodney nice. I mean saying stuff like: are you okay?; I'm sorry that it didn't work; stuff like that. .

I also think that Ronon was trying to impress Teyla with his fancy gun work.


It was a great way to introduce the new enemy. Unfortunately my dad totally missed that. Even though my bro has told him that ... a few times. (sigh)

I also loved that look that Zelenka gave Rondney at the end when Rodney said that he hates it when people don't admit their mistakes. That look was a classic.

And all I could think of was Fith when they said that they would take the replicator dude with them. Only they did take him.

And the parts where John and Rodney were acting like two year olds was so cute. Them argueing over how much time before the city blows up was so childish. And they looked like little boys too. That made it all the funnier.


Writers: GREAT JOB!!!

[coolove]

The first half of this was great. The second half felt like watching Unnatural Selection all over again. It fell completely flat for me.

I'm with you on this one. I guess there are only so many stories you can tell without becoming redundant but on Atlantis it's just getting tiresome for me.

I dont even know why McKay said they might be related to the Replicators. Those were created by the andriod girl from that planet. They did reuse the same hand in head effect though.

The theory is that one of the ancients who designed the Asuran nanites were one of the ones who returned to Earth and travelled through the stargate to another planet where he created Reese who was capable of creating nanites herself and control them. Reese then created the replicators as toys and the rest is history.

You right it did feel a little like Unnatural Selection. This is Carl's best episode to date. And I'm surprised Mikita directed it, this would have been a good ep for a Wood or DeLuise directed ep. But Andy does a good job too.

Definitely. I would be ok with the repeat if this was a one-shot episode, but to use a recurring villain on Atlantis that was similar to a recurring villain on SG1 is too much. I want something completely different.
