"The Kindred" Pre-Airing Discussion and Speculation (Spoilers)

It's a two-parter...So "the Rise of the Googlions" part 1 and part 2.

First of all I love the title: "the Rise of the Googlions"!
In my opinion it won't involve the wraith, because there are already to many episodes with them.
Maybe it has something to do with Carson: "the rising of"... Maybe he ascended, for me the last scene in "sunday" points to it, and he somehow convinced the ascended ancients to help Atlantis.
"A number of pieces come to fruition"; the first goal of the Atlantis expedition was to learn from the ancients, maybe this will be the case.

What if the Googlions are the bug creatures of Michael?!

Please tell me this title is a joke... "Googlions"? That just screams cheesey Sci-Fi Channel movie lol

I just thought the search-engine was getting its own race. But that's just me.

Hmmm, seems to me like some legs are being pulled...

Well I thought the ATA database got a search engine, I had a few questions for it...

1. Why are Ancients so stupid?!

2. Why can't Ancients help living people?!

3. Can Ancients have kids?!

4. Where is the laundry on Atlantis?

Don't panic - it's probably just a working title, a la 'Delicious Fat Guy' and 'Wraith Fight Club'.

He's not written any Atlantis eps yet, but he's written plenty of SG-1 stuff the last two seasons:
S9 - Prototype, Stronghold, Off the Grid, Arthur's Mantle
S10 - Insiders, 200 (along with practically everybody else), Company of Thieves, Line in the Sand, The Road Not Taken, Dominion
IMO that's a fairly strong history - Insiders is the only real clunker.

Disagree on the clunker part but otherwise agree. The title is likely onle a working title, and I have faith that this will be a good two parter.

Nope! It's not! It's on J.M.'s blog! I've found the same info in "Stargate Atlantis Spoiler Community" and "Stagate Sg-1" solutions.
Same info on several French sites! It is not a joke: it's a 2 part episode that will air after "Quarantine".
At first seeing the title I thought the same thing as you: that it's a joke! But after having searched all the sites that talk about Stargate it became clear that it is very real!

What if the Googlions are the bug creatures of Michael?!

That is what I thought at first, but there are already several episodes with the wraiths before it, so I have some doubts!
But you could be right, we know that we'll see Michael in the second part of the season and this is the second part. this "rising of the googlions" part 1 and 2 are episodes 15 and 16.

Well I thought the ATA database got a search engine, I had a few questions for it...

1. Why are Ancients so stupid?!

2. Why can't Ancients help living people?!

3. Can Ancients have kids?!

4. Where is the laundry on Atlantis?

1. Since they are "Ancients" their brains are too old and are not thinking straight.

2.I have 2 answers for this one: 1. They are to pround.
2. When they used to help people they did such a mess of things that they gave up on this.

3. I'll let someone else answer this question!

4. Don't they have a big ocean around Atlantis? They wash them in the sea. I can totaly see Weir, Teyla, Rodney etc. washing their panties and underpants together, on Atlatis's peer. Like in friends when Ross and Rachel go to do their laundry together!

Thanks! I was wondering who this guy was. I pretty much like all these episodes, so he'll probably do a good job!

Don't get me wrong, I hope it is a working title! When I first read it I thought of ganlions instead of "googlions"! I couldn't stop laughing: I could see McKay complaining about the his ganglions hurting him!
Then I checked to see if this word ment something: nope, it doesn't!
the only reference I found is the verb" googler" in french; it's a borowed word from english, and it was created by the "Google" company to describe those that search the net using "google"!

Mabey thats what's wrong with the Atlantis databases. We hooked windows up to them and Mckay uses google to look for dates in PG!

LOL! I looked up 'googlion' on the urban dictionary. "someone who uses google to look up everything they don't know".

They had to call it Rise of the Googlions because Rise of the Cybermen was already taken.

I still say it's gonna be a race (real or synthetic) of killer librarians who collect and store data, even if they have to kill people to get at the information. After all, an organism itself is a vast treasure trove of information right down to the cellular level and beyond.

LOL if it's going to be a race make it a race of killer elves that go balistic everytime they sense Mckay's fear.
