In the book "The Lost" page 282, Todd told the expedition where Queen Death's hive would be and that it would be extracting precious metals from the world's soil. He explained that due to their biotechnology it was necessary to provide the ship with the proper building blocks for it to use to expand, repair and to remain in good health. While it assimilates the ship goes into a digestive dormancy.

In stargate rpg news, the last two eps of the first season of Wyvern's Stargate roleplaying game released last month.

As for the website thing, obviously, I have no idea if Gateworld is what the original poster is talking about, *shrugs* that wasn't supposed to come across as an official answer, so I should have rephased it. I guess my point was there was places that talk about what Lucius did to those poor women if you try to look. Like there are also threads on stargate reddit about him, which is a better example, since at a glance on those old lucius threads I saw comments that also bring up "Emancipation", and another example of Daniel in "The Broca Divide".

There was also a good Stargate episode reviewer I listen to that I believe brought up what Lucius did and made good points as well, however the video has since been taken down, unfortunately.

Ohhh you mean Harold Maybourne! The ep was "It's Good to be King".

@Cubbyman1

To clarify your conceptions about Lucius, I looked through the ep transcript to be certain and found what he 'did for his civilization', is he used to be a bread (and occasional muffin) baker who would pick herbs to put in his bread and trade his wares and he saved a frozen baby once. But after that, he became a snakeoil salesman. He claimed he had medicines to literally cure everything, even making the lame walk and he could cure a common cold 'in six or seven days'. He's also a rapist. Also, in "Irresponsible" he had claims of heroism that he stole from mission reports.

As for your website comment, there was a forum discussion on gateworld back in 2006 about what he did being rape. I also saw a different site that talked about how messed up Lucius was and how it was played for comedy.

I think Lucius is the worst, but hey if you like him you're entitled to your opinion. I also know how flawed the show and McKay is, but that doesn't stop me from being a fan of it either, this post is just to help you be more informed about Lucius' supposed aid to his people.

Yeah, the whole situation with Lucius is very messed up. Especially to the poor six women he married.

Also what that one person mentioned about the Furlings.

Like combining that thought with what we know from the Torment of Tantalus ep, we do know the alliance used the basic elements as a base for a universal language. So, with that, maybe Ancients could have started with 8 but added the other two to be more universal. Again, not saying I even believe it or a fact, just something else to consider.

Of course, again everything is all just speculation.

*shrugs* Only the show creators can say for certain of course.

I wonder which episodes those number symbols even show up in?

I wouldn't think they would, but I guess that's a possibility.

I guess one hope would be you aren't culled and instead face a wraith on foot (like I meant with AR-1) that way there's a chance and you'd be saved by the drug and kill the wraith.

I guess that's a good point. Though I still feel like it's only really useful if you get attacked by a wraith or plan to have kids to pass it down to. And that still seems like a mostly no-win scenario at least to me. lol

Also, it would have been worse had the drug not made it toxic to the wraith since that wasn't even unintended. Like imagine if the wraith tried to feed and hadn't gotten sick and you're both just standing there (possibly in a cocoon too) lol. ;)

Btw I would definitely refuse the Hoffan drug. Like that's not even a question for me. lol

I feel like the Hoffan drug concept was just really miscalculated and doomed on all accounts. lol

Like even not taking into account the huge 50% morality rate of the drug, they were still doomed regardless if they survived. lol The death rate makes it completely worse yeah, but even so, it just seemed like a bad idea. lol

Cause 1, they'd have to get caught by wraith in the first place for it to even matter, and at that point your screwed regardless. lol Cause yeah AR-1 goes on planets and fights them so that would be useful on the field but more often than not for normal people wouldn't they just be beamed up in darts in Cullings? So even if they couldn't feed on them, you're still captured by them and they'd just possibly make those people become runners or maybe just killed.

Then 2, what then? Why would the Wraith risk having a population they can't feed on possibly either sharing how they did it, or breeding with other worlds to spread the inability to be fed on. Like the whole thing was doomed. lol

lol I guess on the positive, the idea of being finally immune to the wraith was probably a good way to keep their society going all those generations and not falling into despair in the face of being eaten by aliens at least...?

The ep aired in 2011. On the 2018 page it says:

"Tamara Johansen's Lou Gehrig's Disease starts to hit her five years after being in a stasis pod for three years, which held the disease at bay for a while. (SGU: "Gauntlet")

So clearly it's saying after being in stasis for years, which the show ended going into stasis.

As for the script I know that yeah they were going to be in stasis for 3 years.

If I had to guess maybe it was mentioned in the ep where they found out about their other selves that she developed symptoms within that time span.

*Update* Yup found it: Epilogue ep:

"The first, um, symptoms presented five years after we arrived on the planet. I died a few years after that."

Ahh.. So that's where the number came from. adding the 3 from stasis with the 5 from epilogue info. So apparently even though the ep aired in 2011 apparently show-wise it's considered 2010, apparently?

I know this is off-topic, but speaking of T.J., that reminds me, I had been confused about that. Supposedly, by a couple pages on the wiki, (the Lou Gehrig's Disease page and the 2018 page), it mentions her disease hit her in 2018. Did the show mention that? It's been awhile so I very likely just forgot but idk. Like I know the ship is old so their stasis pods are probably way less advanced than Atlantis and presumably that one Ancient ship, but really?

Ah yeah, poor T.J..

I wasn't saying that you were or that you couldn't. It's fine. Also, we're the only two who so far voted yes, which is very understandable. lol Especially since show-wise it seemed like there really weren't any significant problems. lol Not that it matters.

Poor Caldwell got screwed over and then the poor guy had to get Goa'uld hosted for who knows how long. Poor dude.

(thank you)

Oh that. Yeah. The Iratus bug retrovirus. Yeahhh... Well it wouldn't have been like that if she hadn't taken it before it was ready. But yeah, the retrovirus stuff certainly is freaky that it does have so much biological changing abilities when used like that. :S

I also agree to the right of choice. I mean it's their body and all. Someone else shouldn't make the choice.

I think at least when talking about the ATA gene therapy as long as it doesn't have any possibility of side effects that could cause any permanent negative effect or death, which I don't believe it does then I guess that's cool.

---

Also, I don't want my talking about what it is and the benefits to make it seem like I would get the shot either. It's more just devil's advocate and for an interesting discussion.

Personally, I couldn't take it even if I did or didn't want to, because I'm allergic to gelatin which is in most vaccines and stuff, and since this is a shot I'd just guess it could be an ingredient but IDK. I also, unfortunately, have a family history of death due to unintended shot side effects. So yeah... I could only hope I got the gene naturally lol. Naturally having it would be awesome. :)

Also, I'd like to point out that some of the good that Rodney did while becoming ascended was only possible because he had the ATA gene therapy lol. He wouldn't have been able to use the chair otherwise.

I'll admit a retrovirus sounds creepy, but well... That's biological science for you. lol Gotta do it however they gotta do it, I guess. lol
