Why not have the Replicators appear in the finale of SGU?

Correction: Human Form Replicators = worst SG villain. The bugs were awesome before some whiny emo was giving them orders.

I really didn't enjoyed the human form Replicators on Atlantis, but I agree they were pretty annoying on SG-1.

I remember being really excited when rumors of the replicators learning to take human form leaked online; being naive, I assumed we'd get something cool and really menacing like the replicator skeleton at the climax of Ark of Truth. Alas, I should have known they'd never do anything that awesome (or expensive) as a recurring bad guy, so when white Canadian dudes in silver lamé with Legos glued on them showed up, the downward spiral of my faith in the franchise began.

Even in their force-of-nature "characterization" as bugs, the Replicators were probably played out by the time the human-forms were introduced. There's really only so many times you can go back to that well, and I think SG-1 had already hit it by that point. But coming up with the lameass human-forms definitely sent the Replicators not just off a cliff, but willingly jumping right off of it.

The one thing that I did like about the Asurans was their depiction as Alteran offshoots. When they were revealed to be a Pegasus version of Replicators, I had to sigh in disappointment, of course, but I did always like them being presented as an Alteran-esque society. It was at least more interesting than, to borrow Gep Malakai's description, "white Canadian dudes in silver lamé with Legos glued on them."

What if these Replicators are primarily red instead of black, and good instead of bad. And then they can reveal themselves as...

Coming from someone who bashed South Africans? HYPOCRIT

 

[RoJoHen]

And I mean, who is being offended here? White people or Canadians?

True story, white people do not mind being called white people. However, I might take offense if somebody called me a Canadian.

No. I'm a white Canadian dude, and I am in no way offended by that statement.

I'll assume you're trying to make a joke, and that I'm just too dumb to get it. Humour can be hard to translate online.

^Unfortunately, if we go off of his previous, "Why did they hire a South African guy??? They're racists!" thread, it's fairly safe to assume that no humor was meant by this latest question.

I had no idea I was prejudiced against my own ethnicity. (Well, white dudes, that is, not Canadians. I spit on those lousy freakin' francophonic, bacon-loving bastards.)

 

[Technobuilder]

I'm not Canadian, I love bacon, and I don't trust anyone who doesn't love bacon.
