How to make 'Lost Tribe' better.

[All Seeing Eye]

I was thinking how they could have made 'Lost Tribe' better and it hit me, they should not have made them out to be Asgard, they should have been the Furlings!

Think about it, they were in those suits so we still don't get to see what the Furlings look like and it would still have kept them all mysterious and unknown.

It would have been similar to the Breen on Star Trek. It would also have meant Furlings were different from previous races encountered by making them a non oxygen breathing species.

Should the aliens in the mechanical suits have been Furlings instead of Asgard?

fuck off with the furlings.. Everyone seems obsessed with them..

 

[DarKush]

Not necessarily.

I think they should've named the Asgard offshoots the Vanir and made their ships harder to destroy. Other than that I thought they were pretty well done and the two-parter was pretty good.

I liked the concept of renegade Asgard that were willing to sacrifice human lives to save their own... it's a nice twist and it actually provides the show with an enemy that is much more powerful than them to contend with. It was an interesting twist.

 

[All Seeing Eye]

fuck off

Ouch.

Except that isn't what we got. The Asgard they showed didn't seem that hard to kill off or that powerful. Even their ability to penetrate the shields was instantly removed as soon as Mckay got back to Atlantis. That said, I agree that the concept of these Asgard wasn't bad. The reasoning for their existance made sense within the confines of the show.

They could've made it better by having the Traveler ship fight one of those Asgard ships and get owned by one blast that fries the weapons and shields before the Asgard ship bugs out.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

Sure, why not. For them to be the Asgard was just meh. That's their idea of a big revelation? No wonder this series sucks.

 

[Apogeal Alpha01]

No. The Furlings, were one of the great races protecting the galaxy and it would have been unfortunate that, never having seen them before, they turned up in a role of committing genocide in another galaxy. Better a renegade branch of the Asgard like Loki.

I didn't mean keep the storyline the same, what I meant is that the idea of these aliens showing up in these mechanical suits, being able to penetrate the Atlantis shields would have been a great introduction to the Furlings, and the Furlings still remain mysterious because they're inside those suits!!

Oh how I wish those aliens would have been Furlings!

 

[Kemaiku]

fuck off with the furlings...

+1

No wonder this series sucks.

Please tell me you have not thought this since DAY ONE and tuned into every or a majorty number of episodes

 

[Barbados Slim]

It should've been a new race because the writers need to stop recycling from SG-1!

 

[Ben Sisko3]

To be fair, it's an excellent tactic to shut up SG-1 fans who were pissed when the Asgard homeworld did its impression of Krypton back in "Unending".

 

[Candlelight]

I liked the twist, but was disappointed with the ending. How the hell did one small traveller ship managed to successfully hold off 3 Asgard vessels AND manage to save the Daedalus? It promised so much in part one but everything got wrapped up so neatly in pt 2 it was just too quick.

I just meant that there could have been a plausible storyline with some advanced race, but not with an entity like the Furlings, already known for being one of the four great, benevolent races. Who would believe that they would commit genocide to save their asses? Or even need to. That would have been a glitch. We've seen the fatal flaw in the Asgard clone scenario in that it led to their ultimate demise, and the renegade Loki faction, thus making the storyline somewhat plausible. It wasn't the most original premise.

 

[bigdaddy]

I think if they never showed the Furlings, and just kept them in the suit then that would have been interesting.

 

[Kelso]

The Furlings are dead. I saw it onscreen.

 

[Broccoli]

I think it is best to leave the Furlings a mystery.

Which they would have remained had they been shown inside mechanical suits.
Everybody would be debating whether they were furry under those suits.
