@@Headhunter1234256 : Apophis turning into a Wraith would be scary. He could suck the life out of people, revive them with sarcophagus, and suck the life out of them again.
Well, coupleof things for the casuals. 1. The serpent guards served a family of goa'ulds, namely Ra and Apophis who were established to be "brothers" together with Jorel who was implanted to become Apophis son. 2. Goa'ulds fought, territories and peoples were conquered. Jaffa would pass their armor from generation to generation, so many times that old armor would still be around. In multiple episodes accross seasons we see Tealc occasionally pulling out his old Serpent guard armor.
@@hawkeye5955 Apophis is not some life sucking demon, he is a God. Noble and just, greatest among equals! You will knell shol'va and beg for his mercy.
1:21 that one random Replicator hanging on the wall but falling off, was both kinda funny but also not too on the nose to ridicule the seriousness of what was happening xD
In the later seasons Daniel Jackson really did turn into a badass. Not only did he get pretty swole, but he became a spiritual and mental beast. Whether it was outwitting Ascended Beings and Adria or holding still billions of Replicators across the damn galaxy with only his human mind, for the key extra moment it was needed, he always had it covered when the chips were down. True Pimp!
@@zerogrey3798 What a stupid comment. Is this show about space ships and aliens fiction? Really? I'm shocked! You must really have a lot of free time to make a post like this.
@@Xes_Lana Conclusion: Legos are in fact plastic replicator blocks. They managed to figure out how to use plastic... so now they are striking at our kids... in fact they have been doing it ever since I was born. so plastic replicators existed first. The ancients had it all wrong.
@@bellatorbacon5861 Mega Glitter, there's still a few pieces lying around at the time when they over shot the solar flare and ended up in the far future
Did feel like they purposely skipped the “singularity gate” to avoid all the problems of suddenly having a black hole connected to the entire gate network. It would still exist being “frozen” in time like it was, maybe the writers decided to recognize that the gate being in that state made it inaccessible as it would take forever to engage the activation sequence.(unlike when they decided to blow up a star with it)
@@turbopokey my assumption for that was that it actually wasn't "every" gate that was opened, Sam made the program (well, mostly) so it's safe to say they probably used the list of gate addresses they already had and just didn't dial the "bad" ones, like the black hole gate. My real issue with the scene, cool as it is, is that we see replicators have ships, yes the wave will kill everything on a planet, but what about if any replicators had boarded a ship in deep space. There's no real way it could have killed *all* of them (and it doesn't as we see later I guess)
@@monkeyman767 Yeah, i guess this wave cannot go faster than light in standard space... and if the ship is in subspace, maybe the wave is not able to influence them, so they have to warp just before being hit to pass through ?
@@TeslaRockin I wasn't even thinking that far ahead, they even say that the wave has limited range, enough to cover the planet but not much else, with the stargates very luckily providing enough extra juice to cover whatever planet is on the other side. There's so many flaws in that, what if the planet on the other side is bigger than Dakara? I'm just nitpicking honestly, it's still a super cool scene that makes me excited every time I see it, there's just some flaws in the logic when you look deeper is all haha
I really liked one thing. Throughout SG1, the Ancient technology had a certain stony look. This of course wouldn't work when they launched Atlantis where they completely redesigned pretty much all Ancient technology. But they didn't just handwave it away; post season 7 of SG1, they managed to integrate both the original and the new designs of Ancient technology so that the continuity between the two shows works.
I think you may be overlooking a thing or 20. Most of the Goa'uld tech is based on Ancient tech - if a rather misunderstood pale copy at best. Not to mention the weird head grabbing Ancient archive -> mind machines which don't look like stone at all, and neither did the first chamber we see one in (it looks like some kind of metal). Likewise with the Destiny, albeit that was designed later and not necessarily consistent to the SG1 continuity.
@@mnomadvfx Well... yes, but I mean specifically the type of stony panels like we see on Dakara. Seeing that just screams SG1 Ancient technology. But seeing that display in the back is just very SGA Ancient technology. And they managed to combine it together quite well.
@@mnomadvfx But it's also established that the Ancients were around for millions of years. They clearly went through several developments with their technology looking different. We know the original Alteran technology looked a lot more biological, like the Ark. The archive and mind machines are probably from around that era, as is Destiny. Then they developed more stony looking technology, like the milky way stargates and the Dakara superweapon. We also see crystals used here first, a mishmash of chunky ones in various colours. That's the generation Goa'uld tech is based on. Then only later did they develop the more refined crystals like on Atlantis, and the sleek metal stuff. Ancients are slow to develop but it's a pretty clear progression.
3:08 That is Hadante, where they picked up "the destroyer of worlds". And one of the others was Vyus - where they _left_ "the destroyer of worlds". I guess they scoured all the old "Stargate Opening Footage" they could find.
Go inside any government installation, you'll still see a bunch of them. Seriously the government refuses to get new stuff for anyone but people who dont need them.
For some reason the first time when I saw this all I could think of “what would happen if someone went thought the gate now?” Still it was an epic moment for the show
I had the thought of "what if a planets gate was already active?". Followed by "they just dialed a black hole since they dialed every gate in the galaxy", and "so the replicators didn't keep any forces outside the galaxy, seems like a machine thing to do" and a side dose of "can everyone see that wave, if so that means everyone on earth saw it". I had alot of thoughts, I've since added a new one, why is the ha'tak not moving.
It's probably a special work mode Ancients added for Dakara Device to repopulate the Milky Way. Probably only Dakara wave was allowed to pass through gates. Active gates changed current mode. But yes, there is big problem for the show. Everyone on Earth should have seen this, as it covers entire Galaxy, so each gate should cover thousands of solar systems and wave from Earth gate should have been visible just like the wave from Dakara.
Just to add a thought to the list: "If this wave travels as slow as the videos shows, wouldn't it take forever to propagate? Even without hyperdrive, a ship could probably just outrun it. And seeing how even light takes years to travel interstellar distances, this wave would at best only cover planets with stargates before the replicators in space would figure out what happened".
@@omicron6513 Given how unreliable most of the CGI stuff in Stargate tends to be, I'd say this was done mostly out of artistic license. I mean, you have Ori beam weapons hitting 700 m long Goa'uld motherships at around 1 km/s and completely destroying them, then when bombarding a planet the beam appears to move at at least 1000 km/s and cause an explosion powerful enough to be seen from orbit, yet the ground crater is no larger than those caused by a cruise missile strike, with the surrounding area barely affected by the blast.
@@omicron6513 I think it was that most the replicators begun their push, remember they were being controlled by Relicarter, an ego is a powerful thing, they also knew where the weapon was and where probably either focusing or moving to focus everting on either swelling the fleet by consuming Gaould ships (which would almost certainly be near planets and gates)
This is almost certainly a blooper caused by them remastering the series in widescreen vs it’s original 4:3. He was almost certainly cropped off the screen in the 4:3 cut but the widescreen reveals their trickery lmao.
Also, when the weapon on Dakara was sweeping planets of the Replicators, people on Earth would have seen this. It wouldn't have stopped at just the SGC. I love Stargate and I love finding all the plot holes in it :D
I think they intended to just show a few examples, because even if they wanted to show all planets after sgc they couldn't on an episode of a tv show with the budget they had.
I prefer the idea that just because we (the audience) can see something doesn't mean the people on screen can see it. Sometimes these effects are only used to show the audience that something interesting is happening but looking at Jack's reaction he doesn't seem to notice the field and instead just notices the replicators falling apart starting with the ones closest to him which leads him to think maybe someone behind him had a disruptor weapon that worked. At least that's how I feel and it doesn't in any way invalidate the fact that it was never specified in show :P
They actually used thousands and thousands of blanks throughout filming. The slomo shots of them firing at 3:48 shows realistic recoil and arm shaking. If you look closely, you can even see the blank shells getting ejected out of the bottom of the P90. They used real P90's, just modified to operate with blanks. No post production added.
@@Kingkoopa00 Yeah, there's no way they get fake muzzle flashes to look that much like real muzzle flashes, they're using real weapons. Digital effects aren't even there now, and this was over 15 years ago. Probably just shortened the gas system and made the bolt carrier lighter so it would still cycle with the lower pressure of the blanks.
@@Kingkoopa00 Oh, and I just noticed, it looks like they're using hidden ear pro too. Looks like they're flesh colored, probably molded to the actor to provide the best invisibility, and then skin tone matched as well. Might even be an earwig for cues, it's gotta be hard to hear when you're supposed to stop shooting with all the gunfire going on, lol.
I miss this show so freaking much! I'm now the age RDA was 47. They used to call me Jack Jr. because my personality is nearly identical to Jack's. I can't tell you how many times I've used the "well there's that." Or "ya think!" Phrases in meetings & in general.
Everything from literal gods to the cold inevitable laws of physics have tried to kill Daniel dozens of times, no dice. The only things that will survive the nuclear holocaust that ends the world will be cockroaches and Daniel.
I feel like ascending is kinda overrated if all you get is a diner. I like a good diner as much as the next guy, but still a churro stand or some Chinese takeout might be nice from time to time.
Yeah came here to say that, it looks exactly like Yuri's superweapon just without the chains, maybe the SFX company was the same and reusing assets or a homage to RA2 as it is older.
Something that always bugged me about this episode…for all the replicators that were shot and destroyed, shouldn’t there be bigger piles of replicator blocks? Like huge piles!
@@SigalDa Yeah, but that's literally the next episode. I just wanted to make sure Ragitsu includes that scene when he gets around to uploading the clips from it. And he did :)
Unfortunately for the Asgard, they are no longer capable of seeking *simple* solutions to their problems. Stop making analog clones, but make digital clones instead. Just use the Carter/Baal method. Activate the entire gate network, and send one healthy clone through. On ten thousand different worlds, a new healthy clone steps out, then an Asgard ship makes the rounds and beams them all up. Wash, rinse, repeat. All these new clones have no trace of the analog fading induced by standard cloning, because the Stargate makes absolutely perfect copies of whatever (or whoever) enters the event horizon. Problem solved.
Honestly, they could've just used humanish bodies or anything else instead of the defective ones and transferred their minds into them. Might not be as smart in the new bodies, but at least they'd live.
So, you wouldn't have a Galaxy full of neutralized replicators, just a Galaxy full of somewhat neutralized replicators. Or, the energy wave gets smaller and less powerful the more gates it gets shared with. And, if you actually watched the video, neither of those outcomes happened, did they? The ancients were smart enough, after all, to keep partial success from creeping in and creating total failure.
3:30 Man that's gotta suck. Having all the memories of someone else and still having feelings for them watching them die, trying to fight your urge to help. I know she's evil but still, flinching seeing her old friend.
Some Asgard setting somewhere in the galaxy watching this happen. Then being hella pissed cause they could have saved themselves from the replicators with this all along.
My question...was all this information about the different milky way builds stored in the Atlantis computer core? Cause a lot of stuff was built before Atlantis left the Milky Way galaxy for the Pegasus Galaxy! Also now that Atlantis is back on Earth...do you think they'll build a FRAN like replicator that could download the information from one of the undiscovered Ancient's Database & download it back into Atlantis?
If all stargates can be dialled at once, and every receiving gate would transmit the signal, would matter entering the outgoing gate be duplicated at every receiving gate. Could it be possible to clone this way? Maybe not as matter and energy can't be created or destroyed, only changed in form.
I see 2 possibilities here. Either A: You would end up on a random world or B: You would end up on Dakara. Since the gate is not made for cloneing, it would only transmit the signal and would be put into the buffer and after the transmit is over it would "dial" itself and release you from the buffer.
Since matter and radio waves (or similar forms of energy) are handled differently in the show, as per the example of radio chatter crossing/going both ways through a regular open connection while matter can only transit one way, I would assume that matter attempting to pass the gate on Dakara in this special case would seize to exist.
Daniel doesn't need to control all of them just the ones attacking earth and the ancient weapon .. Why stop firing just because the replicators stopped moving .. KEEP FIRING !!!
Replicators should have met T-1000 from Terminator 2 or Silver Blood species from Star Trek Voyager episode Demon. They all are in liquid state and can change chape to anything they want. Which of them will be defeated first?
So if all the Stargates in the galaxy are linked to that one Stargate, what would happen if a person went through? Would their atoms be evenly dispersed through each gate, or would it basically clone the person?
We don't know how this multi-gate dialing works so we can only speculate. My bets though are on one of three options. 1: Gate simply stops matter entering the gate when it fails to find a single valid place to send it. 2: Gate sends matter to a random gate to keep it all cohesive. 3. Gate disperses your matter evenly. (I think Ancients would have programmed a failsafe against this). Technically there is a fourth option where the gate clones but I really really doubt it is capable of that. Given that we know the gate uses matter from the sending gate to recreate the object being sent at the receiving end, we know that the gate cannot necessarily create matter from energy. This leads me to believe that the gate would fail to re-materialize the matter pattern and could not clone. The reason the energy wave of the weapon is duplicated is because the gate has tons of energy it can use to replicate an energy wave, we know for a fact the gate treats energy and matter very differently from the fact that energy and fields can pass both ways through a gate but matter cannot (as a sidenote this should also mean you can use the Dakara weapon against someone dialing into the Dakara gate, don't have to be dialing out).
I love this show but the barely handful of replicators we see on the base in this episode really bothers me. It completely betrays the sense of urgency they were trying to portray.
