Then we begin the next Season on a Russian submarine. The two crew members are talking (in Russian) and unless you know Russian, you can't know what they are saying aside from knowing they are talking about the strange tapping noise. What they are saying is, "Hey, that sounds like one of the Replicator things from the last episode." "Oh, I want to see one. Lets open the door." "I don't think that is a good idea." "Well if we don't then the story can't continue, and we will not be in the show." "Good point." and they open the door and the show can continue. I'm not sure it was in the script.

12:00 Lying is just something children do. Reece is a robot with the emotional maturity of a child. She knows she has done things the grown-ups might punish her for doing, and so she lies to try to stay out of trouble. I saw a video where this guy was filming his daughter. Thinking she was unseen she was standing on a chair, reaching into a cookie jar. Just as she touched the cookie he says "What do you think you are doing?" She jumps about three feet and turns with a look of terror on her face, but then the look of terror turns into a smile. She answers his question with, "I'm getting you a cookie daddy." He is a bit shocked and takes the cookie and says thank you. Then she says "Daddy, can I have a cookie too?" He says, "Of course." as text comes on screen that says, "In 10 years, I am so screwed." The child was clearly lying. I mean, she was getting a cookie even though she knew she shouldn't. But when she was caught she thought, "If I offer him a cookie, he will let me have one." Does this make the kid a villain?

I feel like an important thing to mention about them not being stopped by the time dilation device is that the way they countered it was by inverting its effect, and over the several millenia they spent in the bubble they consumed and converted the entire planet into a replicator superstructure and gained sentience, and the only thing keeping them from consuming everything was that they couldn't leave the time dilation bubble. That is the reason they needed to collapse the solar system into a black hole in order to stop that particular swarm.

10:40 There may also have been a hard limit on Reese's bandwidth. 7:10 I always liked the idea that Reese is Pinocchio + Small Soldiers. Some old exile from Atlantis 9999 years ago wanted to have a child. So the Lantean built one. ...and he used *forbidden military tech* - Asuran nanites - to do it. Asurans were a nanobot superweapon that accidentally became sentient when the superweapon decided to copy its creators, down to clothes. The Ancients went 'oops' and tried to nuke them. Almost worked. Origin story of the Nanobot Elves in Stargate Atlantis. So my theory is some Lantean took that tech back home and did a Pinocchio with it, seeing as sentience is exactly what the Lantean wanted. This also explains how reverse-engineering Reese allowed the Replicators (and the rare earths in the Asgard capitol) to eventually create Asuran-style 100% nanobot models.

So I have a suspicion considering how well informed and familiar you are with the numerous occurrences of the replicators in the series that you intentionally avoided bringing up the human form replicators due to either not liking them as a premise or writing choice or because you're saving them for another video. I'd be thankful if you could shed some light on that decision as they are a relatively significant plot point to be examined in the arcs that they are involved with regardless of how the quality of their concept is judged.

Another big reason the Asgard had a huge problem with them is b/c they can adapt defenses against their energy based weapons faster then they can develop them. They basically became immune to most energy weapons and the Asgard had only energy and techno weapons. They another reason why us humans were so effective against them b/c all in all most of the drones were pretty fragile, and a shotgun is great at doing enough damage to the Replicator blocks leave them inert until they can be reassembled.

To me, one of the scariest parts is... they are computers... they are interconnected... they are... networked... the more of them there are, the smarter they get, the more they learn and processes, the more tricks they learn. a single bug on its own could never take over a ship and fly it.. its not smart enough, it just knows to eat and replicate... but you get 100's of them 1000's of them they, as a hive mind, learn.... share data, choose targets.... you get millions of them, they now use tactics, they have their goal... simply put, the more there are.. the more dangerous they are

Calling the Replicator defense reaction "kicking over a hornets' nest" is somehow a massive understatement, it's more like stepping on a swarm of brooding black mambas that just laid eggs.

Whoa, no mention of the “people” Replicators that evolved on the time-speed planet? Where SG-1 betrayed the only Replicator that was capable of love and trust?

I like the theory that the replicators we see in SG1 have ties to the ancients. Stargate Atlantis introduced humanoid replicators that were created by the Ancients. As the show shows the replicators were deemed failed experiment and were destroyed by the ancients. I believe when the Ancients returned to the milkyway galaxy a faction that still believes in the replicator research settle on a planet to do their work away from the eyes of other ancients. Eventually they created Reese everything everything went wrong and replicator bugs we see spread across the universe.

My personal nightmare fuel - Replicators get possession of a TARDIS.

Literally the only way to beat replicators I can think of is smaller, better replicators that understand ethics. Either that or total reality manipulation.

And now imagine the despair into which the Ori drove a certain group of Tauri, that they decided to return this synthetic plague. I don't know how this battle would have ended, but the Milky Way would have lost anyway.

I do believe that they spit acid as well... I mean, they're supposed to process the metals they then turn into more Replicator block ! And, in the episode where a lone Replicator takes over a russian submarine, we see it jump at a sailor and spray something in his face as a mean of attack. Bear in mind, the kind of acid that can melt ANY metal, even sci-fi BS metals, into a soup that can then be shaped into a programmable Replicator block, into your face !

You should look into the silicates from Space: Above and Beyond.

22:34 yeah that cracked me up a bit to good xD

original blocky replicators were pretty much macro-scale nanomachines given their incredible versatility, before they actually went from blocks to the proper nanites with their human-forms in season 6 onwards. while their goal is as simple as it comes - "to increase their numbers" they are quite interesting faction.

SG-1's Replicators are what Star Trek's Borg were supposed to be. A group intelligence focused on a single goal, and damn anything else.

For some reason the US named their drone program Replicator. Out of all the names they had to pick this one.

So, why no discussion about the human form replicators? You mentioned to Asurans, but those were Pegasus Replicators. I wouldn't necessarily mind them being omitted, but doing so also omits one of the key moments of the Stargate 'verse- the battle between Daniel and RepliCarter.

After my 4th watching of a video of yours, I am subscribing due to the actual thought involved

My own head cannon was the reese was made by the ancients and connected to the same line of research they did to create the humanoid replicators that were used to fight the wraith. Im not certain on the exact timeline. It could have been a small research group that went to the milky way to avoid being attacked by the wraith. They probably set up on a planet that already had the civilization and resources required to conduct their research. Reese then created the spider version of the replicators which killed the small group of ancients. They then went on to decimate the pre-existing population of that planet which had no way to fight the replicators. Before this happened the ancients put reese into stasis (where she was discovered by sg1) as a last ditch effort to stop the spread of the spider replicators.

"You can't outsmart the Replicators." Yes. Yes you can. You cannot out-TECH them, not for long. Anti-replicator tech has always been finicky or worse. However, the replicator ability to think, project, forsee, plan, and so on, is pretty darn bad. They are fundamentally stimulus-response machines. Follow the program, execute the instructions. They are predictable. They can be tricked. They can be controlled within certain limits (none of which are really acceptable). And in the end, Daniel took the ultimate advantage of that.

You forgot that during the time they got trapped by the Asgard that the replicators evolved into human form replicators. Different from the ancient replicators but basically the same thing. Basically impervious to every weapons except those that specifically target their blocks and separate the individual nanites. Strong and can reach their hand into your mind to read it. Most dangerous version of them as they have the ability to control the regular replicators

"We are the Replicators. Lower your shields and surrender your matter. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our menu. Resistance is futile."

Love the replicators in Stargate

Ok "meat mech" is a discription of the replecator takeing over a human that i could have lived without. I remember that episode but danm that puts an even worse spin on it.

Reese was created by an Ancient. That Ancient fled from the Pegasus Galaxy after the original replicator creation plan backfired and tried to do a better job making an artificial lifeform that wouldn't become uncontrollable, but one of the base desires of all life is to reproduce in order to not be killed off. Whoops

i watched the movie when they first introduced the humanoid class of replicator. Shit gave me NIGHTMARES for months

Sci why didn't you reference Regis 5 from Megas XLR?

Since a queen in an insect hive is to produce offspring since they are controlled by pheromones rather than a single entity, a Queen Replicator is adept in the naming convention.

Ah another episode of two bros being nerds in a basement 😂 Love your chanel ! Keep going on !

The grey goo doomsday scenario is still my favorite. Replicators are the same thing, just macro-machines instead of nano.

I wonder if replicators unintentionally took form of the itharus bug based on wraiths it kinda makes sense since acension etc.

They're definitely all-consuming, especially the budget...

5:29 I bought CoD infinite warfare just for Ethan! (So totally worth it) Never really got into the other Cod games though. (I’m a halo fan myself) Though I also dabble in Battlefield.

That's understandable, and yes Ethan was the best character.

I personally Love the Replicators and they look kinda cute to me minus the big bug beetle like one but that’s just me.

The Asgard did not flee to the milky way, they found a new homeworld in their own galaxy.

I hope the SG-1 crew never go anywhere near a LEGO store.

Damn ive been wanting one of theres. I remember seeing alot on ebay. But not in a container

Technically(I think) not yet another mistake left behind by the Ancients/Alterans/Lanteans, but based on the Asurans they clearly knew about Reese.

I wonder how a fight between Mendicant Bias and the replicators would go. Sure, the replicators are smart and all, but I bet that Mendicant bias could hack them and gain if not complete control over the swarm, at least a small portion of it that would counter-replicate. Actually... a more fun fight might be between the Replicators and Creeper from Creeper World.

"They have a bigger beetle one" or if you will a BIG BAD BEETLEBORG!

Oh...yes plz

It’s that Gmod addon

20:40 Call the Marines!

I think the retcon on Reese post Atlantis is that the people who built her probably had access to some Ancient prototypes or designs for Asurans. Also I'm just imagining that Dakar gate if gate-cloning was a thing like Schlock Mercenary. Like things go south and suddenly Jack O'Neil is an ethnicity.

The Pegasus replicators were made by the ancients... had NOTHING to do with milky way replicator.

never seen Tyranids be reasoned with... also, interesting query, who is more likely to win, Replicators or Borg... both have one objective that is the same... assimilate and adapt to ANY technology they encounter.... and don't forget there are human form Replicators... 2 versions actually, and neither version is a mindless eating machine...

This... here... is why Stargate is SciFi schlock
