I **love** the 40-50's retro futurism of them. Like if their visual identity was stuck for 50 years but they continued evolving (with the sick ass shotgun thingy)
I really like them.
They are assholes tho
The problem is that they are very stupid. Even after they get human+ intelligence they are stupid.
You know how you win as the replicator? (Let's say after fifth dies and Carter takes control)
Creates thousands of small probe like replicator ships and send them everywhere there isn't life. Every uninhabited planet, moon and asteroid. When one is done send them to another one.
By the time the Goa'uld, Tauri and Asgard find out, every system will be infested.
Also, I would send those probe in deep space so that even if they wipe out the first wave, another one will be there to take its place.
Now. I know why they didn't do that. Because the villain would win. But yeah....
I don't really like them? of course i have just watched 2 episodes of them but they seem a little too much ''i'm actually just fucking evil''
the goa'huld are evil also but like.... not ''thor, the dark world'' evil. They are egomaniacs narcissist but they aren't like sauron.
i don't know if i'm making any sense here. but it's just my thought on the first enemy of atlantis
