Stargate SG1 replicators question and rant. Spoilers for season8 premiere and earlier
First the question. What's the story behind the "human" replicators? I missed the episode(s) that dealt with that
rant: I hate the replicators and have hated them since the second time or so that they showed up. They're nothing but a borg rip off but not as cool as the borg. To me "human replicators" is just a synonym for "jump the shark"
I was so hoping that weapon jack made would truly finish them off once and for all to quote someone tonight, I think Tealc

It was in season six. The reps were all lured to the Asgard homeworld and then trapped in a time dilation device by the Asgard, in order to slow them down until they figure out what to do with them. However, they somehow reversed the flow of time and it sped up their development until they became self-aware, as evidenced by the human versions. Fifth was an experiment in emotion, but in the replicator mind it made him weak. SG-1 befriended him and had him restart the time dilation device while they escaped. They told him they'd wait for him, but they didn't.
Apparently in the meantime, the Asgard collapsed their sun into a black hole to get rid of them.
Anyway, it looks like the rep storyline is pretty much over. The Asgard and SG-1 now have a permanent means of defeating them, and I don't see them coming back for awhile. Even if they do, it'll probably just be an epilogue to their arc.

I like the replicator plotlines:
replicators = LOTS of shooting
(the SG-1 team usually go crazy with the P90's and shotguns)
Also, you always find out more tidbits about the Asgard in the replicator eps. (ie this episode: the Ancient database they study/how they got their new technology, actually seeing their new homeworld, etc.).
Yeah, the but you have to remember that the replicators started off as toys...basically "Lego Gone Wild"

This show really suffers when Jack isn't on screen, it was really evident in the first half. I certainly hope his new promotion doesn't mean he'll be seen as little as Hammond was.
I wonder if the defector System Lord will be a new SG1 teammember?
They certainly set-up for Atlantis rather nicely.
