I don't think so. The Novans stranded on that planet didn't recognize them, and according the wiki(a reliable source, I know) they were only there for thirty years. The drones look older than that, plus wouldn't they have recognized the species of their creators? Feel free to woop me on this one since I just started watching the show again, and I only saw the second half of this episode. It's a shame it's being cancelled, plus MGM putting any future Stargate productions on hold, so now there's no chance of a proper finale.

^Never occurred to me. Wouldn't make a lot of sense either way though. The drones are purposed to hunt down and destroy technology that is alien to them. That's not the kind of weapon you'd want to deploy in a schism type conflict because the enemy are most likely using the same technology. You'd need something more discriminating.
No, a weapon like that is more likely yo be used by a race under the treat of an overwhelming invasion or an isolationist race determined to keep everyone and everything that's not them away from their territory. Like landmines in a sense. Indeed, the fact that they're set to attack anything that's not their own says their creators didn't fully understand their enemy other than their technology being significantly different-preventing them from programming specific criteria--or they simply wanted to be left alone.

I liked the whole naming battle....Rush-ia....
It is really annoying that this is getting good again right before it goes to SyFy Oblivion. I suppose now we'll get some more "Wrasslin'". There just isn't any decent sci-fi out there anymore and it's a shame.
