I really like this episode. Pretty shocked, that most people in the comment sektion don't.

Of course she knows hockey. Torri Higginson is Canadian

The coma alternate reality episodes of most shows are not my faves. Maybe if they didn't spend the entire first half of the episode on "earth". I understand why they did it though and its an ok Ep.

Brent Justice

This is pretty much a common SCIFI trope, pretend the world they have been living this whole time is a dream, and the real world is something else. We've seen it everywhere, so I'm not surprised they wanted to do an episode like it on this show. I think they did put a little interesting twist on it, where she was able to fight off the replicators from within the dream, realizing it is a dream. That is a nice twist on the trope. Otherwise, just an average episode.

Stef Furness

They already did it though, in the first season - when the gaseous beings gave them a simulated Earth to live in so they didn't keep dying by inadvertent gate activity. Maybe that was supposed to be part of the original replicator story arc, and they decided to keep the concept but change the delivery system. SG-1 did it practically once a season...I guess I can't be too upset about it, just seems like a bit of lazy writing.

Brent Justice

That's true, but in that one, it was shared with a group, this time it's just an individual, so a little different. I get it though, a little repetitive. Obviously a budgetary episode. It also reminded me a little of the episode where Daniel had Machellon in his head and was seeing visions.

Stef Furness

And the Gamekeeper episode. And the one where Hathor recreated the base "in the future." And Beneath the Surface where they were mind-stamped bc they didn't approve of class slavery.

My least favourite stargate episode.

I finally find an episode I love that most people seem to dislike! Woo! I get that it's similar to episodes we've seen before and that it's a common thing to do in sci-fi in general. But for some reason - the setting Weir was in, her questioning her sanity and wondering if she was actually crazy, the fact this kind of thing can actually happen to people but like.. for real, how upset and confused she was, the whole gaslighting aspect.. I just really, really empathized with her character in this episode. And I couldn't help feeling everything she was. To me - it's a terrifying and upsetting episode. And something that can make me feel all those things, I can't hate or dislike, and I feel like it's different enough from other similar circumstances that it doesn't feel like, to me, similar enough to make it feel lazy. 🤷🏻‍♀️ All my opinion of course!

James Yancy

I don't even remember this episode, but I'm sure I've seen them all. 🤷‍♂️

One of the best episodes in all of SG history in my humble opinion. Torri really got to show off her acting chops, and she knocked it out of the park. I still think this episode was solely written to cement her status as an empathetic and proactive protagonist, truly deserving of her status as a lead character. Been looking forward to this ep. from the start!

Finally found time to watch these 2 episodes. I don't really have a lot to add to Progeny that hasn't been said. What makes most sense is that an ancient created Reese, either as an experiment or companion. She wasn't exactly like the human form replicators, though she did have nanites as part of her body(seems her skin is nanites since she could "melt" stuff by touching it to make blocks), she also had solid mechanical components, hence why shooting her damaged her in a way human form replicators wouldn't be. The block form replicators aren't even what I'd think of as an earlier form of the nanites, or an earlier stage in their evolution. They were created as toys after all. I wonder if the blocks even have some level of nanotechnology to allow them to process material and replicate. At any rate when they found Reese and the nanites she was partially made of, it was like finding the real deal replicator technology and realizing they'd been working with the knock off all these years. I'd say Reese's and later the human form replicator nanites are probably a similar or even more advanced version of the tech used in the Asurans(they seem more phased by energy weapon hits) but with completely different programming. Reese's nanites were clearly programmed to only maintain a certain number and to maintain and repair Reese's mechanical components, and it's just a fluke that when Reese got scared and told her "toys" to make more of themselves, she basically set the block form replicators back on the path of the Asurans. Then later when they found Reese, the replicators not only upgraded their hardware by switching to nanite construction, but no doubt applied some of Reese's programming to give the HFR the personalities they had, obviously with some trial and error. Anyway I'd say that's how best to explain the connection. Bit of a plot hole though, they've previously said that a ZPM overload could destroy the better part of a solar system, and yet when they overload 3 of them here, it's basically a fireworks show. Doesn't even look nuclear. I'd say it's a shame they couldn't get the schematics to build ZPMs, but then it might make things a little too easy. Then again the Ancients could build them and they still lost. Could be they're very hard to produce even if you know how. As to The Real World, while it is an overdone trope(and it does get a bit cheesy at the end with the whole "power of friendship" solution), it's a decent episode overall. Certainly not one of the show's/season's better offerings, but there's far worse. As others pointed out, the whole gaslighting aspect is pretty well played and actually quite terrifying. And WTF Sheppard, the timing at the end of once again calling into question what's real and what's not was just terrible. Not the time or the place bud. Pretty good (sorta) 2 parter, and I guess this means there's a new big player in Pegasus. Hopefully they never make it to the Milky Way, as aside from having enough to deal with now that the Ori are running around, we just lost the Dakara weapon, so no more galaxy wide replicator zap. If there's one thing that makes the Asurans easier to deal with, it's their tendency to emulate the Ancients, so actual ships and cities(city ships) that can be destroyed as opposed to making ships out of themselves like SG1 replicators. Of course that being said, they're using Ancient tech to build those things, so still very formidable.

Lady Beyond The Wall

Well - he said ONE of the best - not THE best. But hey, I'm just happy someone likes it as much as I do! 🙂

Brent Justice

I use to bring this up when this originally aired, but the Ancients must have had a manufacturing facility for things like ZPMs, jumpers, and whatever else like that. So either Atlantis has a manufacturing facility for ZPMs somewhere, or another base exists that does. It would make sense that Atlantis would be the city ship to have the ability to manufacture ZPMs for the rest of the Ancient outposts. It's also very weird that the blueprints aren't in the database.

brad hawkes

In my culture… I’d be well within my rights to dismember you..

James Yancy

I'm convinced that Reese was the product of either an Atlantean Exile or at least a human who had gotten hold of Atlantean technology from one of the exiles either directly or indirectly. It would make sense that the Replicators in the Milky Way were at least an offshoot of Atlantean nanotechnology.

Timothy Nikiforovs

And we know from Merlin that some Lanteans settled on less advanced worlds and had hidden caches of technology.

Teth

The time gap makes it less likely it was one of the ancients, but those guys seemed to leave their secret labs and research projects all over the place. Very possible there's a connection.

Timothy Nikiforovs

Good point actually. Could just be someone who stumbled on the tech having no idea of it's original purpose

MisturSmith

I always assumed that with how strong the ZPMs are, and how strong they could be in the hands of the Wraith, the Ancients went to great lengths to hide both the blueprints and manufactories. If they're meant to be hidden from the Wraith, idk what chance the expedition stands of finding them
