    Question about the Asurans (possible spoilers)

    So I've been watching up to season four after Carter takes command of Atlantis. What confuses me is that they refer to the asurans as replicators even though they are a seperate race to their milky way cousins. I know they take their name from asuras buy where/when do we learn their actual name?

      Yes I get that. But they've never referenced that.

        You might just as well call them RepliAncients, since they mimicked their creators.

            They're not. That one dude that wanted to ascend said who they were.

              Ok I haven't gotten that far. Seems wierd they wouldn't bother to name them until season 4-5

                They don't. If you've seen the episode where we discover the Asurans Niam introduces them as the Asurans, iirc. I'll have to rewatch it to make certain.

                  Yup, I was right. In The Progeny in season 3, ep. 5 when Weir and co. step through the gate Niam says "I am Niam, welcome to Asuras."

                      McKAY: I’ve searched a good portion of the database for any indication of the Asurans, but, uh ...
