Interesting BAMSR Dialog (Spoilers for "Be All My Sins Remember'd")

[Dev Corvin]

Spoiler:

Woman: "Our intel was correct, the planet has been completely destroyed.
Man (off screen): "Can you detect any trace Replicator cells?"
Woman: "Negative, they've been completely wiped out."
Weir: "Good, now we can finally get to work without having to look over our shoulders."

Now, I'm quite aware that this COULD have just been a peculiarity of scripting, but personally found it interesting that a supposed faction of Replicators referred to the Asurans as "replicator cells", rather than "nanites", the typical term used in the show.

This could indicate that the crew of that vessel are in fact not replicators as first thought, but a group of assembled humans (or Lanteans) somewhat akin to the manufactured version of Shepherd's team. This would also explain why they were unaffected by FRAN's programming, and did not become part of the Repliblob.[/B]

Interesting point.

Interesting point. This would make things much more interesting in my opinion and the whole "It's time to begin." line makes me curious of what they want to begin. Hopefully this will be addressed somehow in Season 5, (I know that Torri won't be appearing), but without Dr. Weir.

who said they were in the vicinity of the planet during the battle?

Shawna writes: “So, let me get this straight…there isn’t going to be any conclusion to wrap up that random and tantalizing teaser/cliffhanger scene because Torri decided not to do it?”

Answer: That is incorrect. The script will be revised, adjustments made, and that particular story will be told in season 5. We won’t leave you hanging.

They might turn out to be humans, but I doubt the writers would change 'nanites' to 'replicator cells' in the script just because that's what they had in mind, I don't think they'd make the distinction...

[flameling]

Maybe there replicater expirements to get rid of nanites and be come closer to flesh, soul, blood and ascension? Or maybe their human. I still think that there work is toward ascension, but they are programmed to ascend only after the wraith die. Is that part of their plan, kill the wraith? Or maybe their trying to find away around that so that they don't have to do the impossible?

[Invictus]

Doesn't matter anyway... This is the true story.

They weren't affected by Fran's programing because they weren't there when it activated. How do I know that? Well it is simple, their ship would have been destroyed in the explosion. How do I know that you ask? Well its because the other replicator ships weren't floating around.
