Ancient - Replicator connection

[Lemuria]

I am just throwing this idea out there to see if anyone else might have suspected this. I was talking about this to AC earlier tonight.

As we all know, the human form replicators in the Peagasus Galaxy were made by the ancients. Well, maybe the replicators in our galaxy might have inadvertly been made by the ancients as well.

Remember the episode with the android Reese that SG-1 found on an abandoned planet in hybernation. She created the replicators. She kept saying the people of her planet said her father made her bad. Look at how she was dressed and look at how the ancients dressed. Very similar. What if her father was an ancient. The show, as far as I can remember, never did say how long she was hybernating. So maybe her father/creator was an ancient and attempted to make human form replicators here in the Milkyway Galaxy but never accomplished his goal fully.

maybe but she created the replicators.

I am in total agreement Lemuria. It is possible that Reese was a replicator with the mind basically of a child and she made wee ones to keep her company. It is very possible.
Even Sheppard and McKay made that connection in the epi I watched last night.

Gotta go w/ Lemuria and AC on this one too. The hubby and I watched the epi last night and was completely scratching my head at first as to how Replicators could evolve (even though it was by 2 different methods) into identical Human-Form Replicators in two different galaxies.

The best theory we could come up w/ was that perhaps Reese's 'father'/creator was an Ancient with knowledge of machines and nano-technology who decided to create Reese either using nano-technology or as a machine containing self-replicating nanites which she could use to manipulate and create other things for herself...it's hard for me to believe she was a human form replicator herself because she didn't do that whole mind-probe thing or seemed to have the ability to 'walk through' walls and stuff like the human-form replicators do.

Since in SG-1 we are told very little about her 'father' and the world she was found on who's to say that her creator wasn't an Ancient or that the world she was found on wasn't an Ancient planet?

[Angelica Constantine]

It is possibe she did not have the knowledge of how to mind probe or go through walls. It is possble to suppress this knowledge. After all Replicators are just computers. Very sofisticated computers.

Good point AC...the human form replicators that SG-1 encountered did say they had made themselves in her image, so you're right it's possible that Reese just wasn't a very advanced human form replicator, those abilities may have appeared in the next evolution of human form replicators like Fifth and the others.

After all the 'bug' replicators were her creation so it would make sense that they would try to become better versions of her. She may not have known it but creating those 'bugs' was in a manner of speaking her way of replicating, she just wasn't advanced enough to be able to create a copy or some form of herself.

no she wasnt.

[Anissa T]

no she wasnt.

No she wasn't what?

[Angelica Constantine]

Your so right Star..:D

[Starflight26]

You're going to make me :blush: AC! Thanks for the vote of confidence but I'm definitely not going to go right out and think or say that 'yeah, I'm so totally right" because for all I know I could be completely out to lunch and not making any sense on this matter at all :huh1:

Now, I know all of this is quite possible and I will definitely admit that there is a possibility that Reese was a replicator of some form. However, I still have a hard time outright claiming that she was a replicator because I don't think there's enough evidence in the episode she was in ("05-19: Menace") or in the episode she was mentioned in ("05-22: Revelations") for me to make such a claim. Even the Asgard I think had classified Reese as an 'android' and having been an ally of the Ancients as well as being prey to the replicators and also having conducted extensive research on the replicators it would seem logical that they at least would've been able to determine whether or not Reese was a replicator machine of some type.

I'm uncertain as to whether or not the writers of the show had thought far enough ahead to think that they mighteventually bring back the replicators in a spin-off show and how they would tie it all together. I haven't seen enough of Atlantis so far to know if there is a stronger connection between the Pegasus Galaxy-Ancient built replicators and the Milky Way Galaxy-Reese built replicators, right now this is all just theory and speculation for me....so really what the heck do I know right?....:huh1::wink:

Okay I've totally out-nerded myself here w/ this post so I'm going to quit while I'm ahead lest I end up sounding like a total weirdo!

[colonel Mitchell]

No she wasn't what?

reese wasnt advanced enough to create replicators like her self and for that im great full for.

[Anissa T]

Possible. She wasn't really given enough time to figure it out. It's possible (although we'll never know), she would have figured it out down the road.

[colonel Mitchell]

MAYBE.
