    Just to clarify, Arcturus never destroyed portions of the universe. That was our flawed version of it.

      I have to diagree with that. The ancients in the Pegassus were only the remnants. the shade of what once the greatest civilization in 4 galaxies. There lived the ancients that were either not advanced enough to ascend or the descendants of the plague survivors. The height of their civilization was in the Milky Way when they built the Dakara device and Destiny, which btw it is not a failed project. Not yet at least

          A perception I have of the Ancients (perhaps unfairly) is that for a species which was around *millions* of years, they really didn't develop new technology, or improve upon their existing technology, all that quickly.

            Probabily since they were longer lived, they didn't feel a need to.

              I would think that because they were longer lived this would inspire them to tinker with their technology and improve upon it or otherwise work out any bugs in the system.

                IMO its like the diff in ADND between elves, dwarves and humans. Both the former 2 are a lot longer lived than humans, and so don't see a rush to do stuff.

                      I guess Ancient didn't proceed to dial destiny because they may have found out it will cause the planet to explode. They may have suspend it to look for an alternative power source but caught up with war with the Wraith and plague. Probably, the Icarus project was unintentionally abandon project.

                        The ancients didn't need to use a Icarus type planet. They had the means to create as many ZPMs as need + Icarus didn't explode becase we used it as a power source. It exploded because LA started firing towards the surface which made it unstable

                          the ancients didnt need to dail destiny because they acsended and found out about the signal so they had no further need to go to destiny

                            do the ancients have some failed projects, yes.......but their successes far out way their screw ups.......in the words of Anubis: "But as the old saying goes, nobody's perfect, not even higher beings"
                            look, people are going to have failures, that shouldn't be a shock......and just because these failures are shown, that shouldn't make them look like idiots
                            and just because a person wants to talk about those failures, that doesn't mean that he/she is bashing the Ancients

                            and, the Asurans work perfectly......it was simply that the Wraith found a way to reprogram them.......it was the programing that was the failure, a failure to protect from tampering, but not a failure on how they worked.......my query is, why didn't the Wraith just reprogram the Asuran to destroy the Ancients?

                              Perhaps it was harder to try and reprogram one of their core directives (not harm the ancients).
