It was actually the reverse.
The replicators developed, in private, into humanoids, very quickly.
The ASGard picked up on this and developed a time dilation device to slow down time for the replicators, while those outside the field, will see time going as normal. This would mean that 1000 years would pass for humans, while only a second would pass for the replicators. Unfortunately, the replicators found a way to break free of this.
The development of the replicators had already taken place, before the time dilation field was put in place.
Hmm, wasn't it actually that the ickle guys put a time dilation device in to do as you said, they reversed it which caused the rapid development, because they'd managed to stop it before it engaged or something. So they sent SG-1 in to turn it back on properly before they could turn it off again.
Thats what I seem to remember, then the asgard collapsed it into a black hole which they escaped from. I watched it too much
Latest ep was crap, again, as per almost every other one. Infact they've ball been crap just a couple eps almost made it all the way to just boring, but didn't quite get that good.
As much as he hates Rush, no one would leave him on the planet, the chinese bird is just reminding me of really crap Heroes writing where she has a new entirely opposite agenda every week. The crap they pulled in SG-1 with civilian/miltary control doesn't work, no ones stupid enough with a group of what, 20 odd people to try to continuously change command. It almost made sense in SG-1, because they REMOVED the previous commander and moved them elsewhere, obviously there is no chance to do that, its just nonsense that they are trying to add a political side to the show which is so ridiculously limited.
Only marginally less ridiculous than the idea the military are happy to replace their CO with one whose not even on the ship who can only be there sometimes and wants to risk all their lives at every single chance.
They've made this show VERY different, yet they are ignoring the limitations they imposed with this style of SG setup, and are trying all the old storylines/sub plots of which none make any sense.
The fact they've done basically no exploring of the suposedly massive ship since, well the first few ep's is beyond ridiculous.
The cliff hanger couldn't be less ridiculous, ok theres like two options but we know he'll either get the ship working or get picked up by people looking for that ship. If he gets picked up I'm going to guess he'll be tortured or some device used to find where he's from and hence you have your new enemy trying to take down the ship.
The problem is, I still have no connection to any characters, they are all dull or just flat out plain unlikeable.
