I don't like the name people have given the blue aliens. Smurfs definitely doesn't do it for me. I call them the Obsessors because they are obsessed about the Destiny.

Maybe they could re-gurgiate the Goa'uld and really make them scary this time. Perhaps a lost variation from the far flung reaches of wherever Destiny isMy FF.netStories -Stargate Atlantis Allies-Colonel Ted Hasluck Bio

How did they find out the gate address of destiny?
That question has been bugging me since I saw that trailer, and I have a few predictions as to what it might be.
Maybe the KINO along with the touch screen things contain the gate address of destiny, thus giving a failsafe in case either is "misplaced". Since eli lost the KINO, we could possibly predict that the race was researching (although unlikely, because most "evil" races portrayed as evil dont research for knowledge, but weapons. INB4 "Evil people can research history too!". Im talking about stargate people, and honestly, what "nice" culture in the stargate series actually studied their history for the sake of knowledge?) or that they were scavenging and found it while in the tunnels. Because they probably have sensors for picking up energy readings, such as what is seen in SGA, where they cloak atlantis to make it seem as though it was destroyed. They were worried that the wraith may have picked up the energy reading of an active stargate, which tells me that they can, but were not scanning at the time or some other thing like that.
Or maybe they just gots a brute force thing and was like "I GOTZ TEH PASSWARD".
Thoughts?

The most disappointing thing about the aliens is how weak they are, seriously if Rush can kill one in hand to hand combat they present zero threat physically.
In a sci-fi culture where we have formidable aliens like the Borg, Species 8472, Xenomorphs, Predators etc.. I would have like to see something that Rush couldn't kill with his bare hands.

Originally posted by xxxevilgrinxxx View Posthumans are pretty weak as a species too. No claws, no big gnashy teeth, no real defenses but our wrinkly brains, a predator's instinct and the ability to hunt well in packs. The blue aliens seem to physically be a lot like us in that sense, from what we've seen, but they do have technology that made them a threat, especially given the weakened defenses of the Destiny. As far as really tough aliens went, the squidies from Time were pretty scary
They have been named "Smurfs" by the fandom here at Gateworld - that says it all really.

Originally posted by Sami_ View PostI agree on all accounts but I don't see why they wouldn't make their main alien antagonists physically formidable and intimidating. After seeing Rush kill one in his first encounter any chance of giving viewers a sense of fear when they see them is pretty much nil.

Having them, in the condition they're in, beat a very powerful enemy would be pretty unrealistic, IMO. And they've been labeled the Smurfs because they're blue

People also called the Na'vi smurfs. They're blue.
On the other hand "prawns" (District 9) was also suggested for the blue aliens, it just didn't stick. That's as badass as aliens get (before you start venturing into the horror/thriller movie realm).Carter: "The singularity is about to explode!"
