I would have liked this episode a whole lot better if they hadn't of brought back those stupid Replicators. I was so excited when they destroyed all the Replicators in SG-1 because I thought they were finally done with that pitiful plot. At least I thought it was pitiful, I hated the whole Replicator storyline. Now they bring them back?! Come up with some more original ideas here people! Stop revisiting old ones you've done too many times!

Total revisit. The guy who they felt sympathy for reminded me SOOOOOO much of Fifth. Whaddya wanna bet they'll bring him back with a vengence and a bone to pick, probably with Weir?

Oh I hate the Replicator storyline. WHY oh WHY did they have to bring it back from the dead?! I was content not to know who originally created the stupid things to begin with. I did not feel that was a loose end that needed to be closed up. Or in truth, that they just reopened a pandora's box. Sheesh.

I did think the city looked very cool, the one where the Replicators lived. A seriously cool special effect. It made me think of Courosant (sp?) that city planet in Star Wars eps 1, 2, and 3.

I did think seeing the replicator guy floating in space at the very end looked rather lame.

Where was Carson?

The leader of the Replicators plays a character in "The Dead Zone." I couldn't get that character out of my head when I saw him in this one. Personality wise I don't think they're all that different either.

It was a watchable episode.

The replicator thing honestly didnt bother me. They dont act at all like replicators in SG-1, so its not like some big revisit.

Plus I loved the replicators. I mean, Humans were likt eh only ones that could continously win against them :p

Budum... It was pretty dumb in other ways..... Get a ZPM before blowing it up? I liked the replicator that came over, but great now they have to kill him later.

Micheal? XD

Blech...

[Nikki&Beckett]

I was surprised that they brought back those replicators. I mean wow, I thought it was an actual Atlantian city, but turns out to be a replicator breeding ground, just really lame. I mean c'mon seriously the replicators made me feel somewhat annoyed at first, but now, I'm really annoyed by it. I mean first the Wraith and now this. Well, I guess will find out if this will plot out to anything interesting.

I don't know. At first I didn't like, then I did, then by the end I was confused. How could there be two sets of replicators? I mean, the other replicators I thought were created by someone else. Now they have replicators that were created by the Ancients.

I'm confused, but at the very least, I agree it is way too close to the storyline from SG1, I mean, to have someone just like Fifth......I feel cheated.

SG-1 found a female android left alone on a destroyed planet. She created the replicators that became a threat in the Milky Way galaxy, however, they never explained who created her. She asked for her father but clearly SG-1 had no idea who that might have been, and from the looks of things he had likely been destroyed by the Replicators she created. The android herself I think was pretty much a human form replicator.

The idea being that that android and these human replicators we saw in this episode are the same being created by the same people - the Ancients. Therefore, the android girl SG-1 encountered who they found created all those little bug replicators had been created by an Ancient like these had been. That's where the connection is that I saw.

<,< As long as the fifth like guy doesent come back all ******...

More of, I predict him coming back all evil and reprogrammed. But then in the episode they will get him back to normal.

In general at least...

I didn't mind the old replicator shows, however once they started taking human form, I lost interest. This show was ok, but like others said I felt as if I saw this episode allready.

[Angelica Constantine]

Ok, well I finally got to see this epi tonight.

I liked it. I felt sooo sorry for John when the replicator was pulling his hand out of his head. Man, that must hurt. Dang.

But anyhoo, I have a feeling that Neeum or Liam or what ever his name is will be back.

It seemed too easy for Rodney to decifer things and rewrite the codes. Hummm
