[QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel Butler: [QB] Moving along in reviewing SGA for the season 4 premier, I'm just about halfway through season 2 now. Couple of random musings have occurred to me that I thought to discuss on here. -Aurora class: Can anyone tell how big it is? Do you think they all have hundreds of stasis pods built into them? It doesn't seem entirely practical, BUT that would depend on the size of the ship. (City-ships wouldn't be practical to have them either, because they have a much higher population density, I'd assume) -ZPMs: How many could the Ancients make? I remember from the Asurans episodes (I don't recall if they're season 2 or 3 at this point but I think 3) that the Asurans had the capacity to manufacture "an unlimited supply" of them. If the Lanteans could as well, could they give every ship a ZPM? If they could, why wouldn't they? The Orion and Aurora don't have them (not mentioned anyway) so that seems to be an answer...but does that make the Asurans liars, or more advanced than the Lanteans? (And where does the massive energy stored in them COME from? I mean, you can't store energy - even by creating a universe-in-a-bottle - without having that energy in the first place.) -The Four Races: Why didn't the Ancients share more of their tech with the other three? They seem far more advanced 10,000 years ago than the Asgard are even now. (The Nox do seem to have *really* perfected cloaking technology - but even Atlantis can cloak with a simple part-swap.) The only exception to this I can think of is the Asgard beam. The Ancients could beam from room to room, or via rings, but not through open space. Also, the Asgard beam (see that rather disappointing "Unending") can be used to create matter out of nothing (say hello 'replicators', heheh). Does that beaming tech seem like something that could have been developed in only 10,000 years, or did the Asgard have it back then? If they did, why didn't the Ancients? I only ask *that* apparently stupid question because tech development (when it's not reverse-engineered, stolen, or a gift, that is) seems reallllly slow in the SG universe - over millions of years the Ancients didn't really improve a great deal...they went from hyperspace-capable city-ship to...hyperspace-capable city ship. But then, they were rather the pinnacle, weren't they? And again, pinnacle or no, no beaming tech.... -Do you think the Stargates in the Ida galaxy were installed by the Ancients, or the Asgard? This brings up the question of, can the Asgards make Stargates? The Tollan can, and they're not nearly as advanced. If the Asgard can construct the Ancient's greatest achievement, is it fair to say they're finally on par with the Ancients? And it also leads me to wonder how many Alterans there *were.* Sure, it took millions of years per galaxy, but they installed Gates on untold thousands of worlds that they themselves probably terraformed (witness multiple habitable planets in solar systems, esp. Lantea) throughout the entire galaxy. That requires a lot of resources and population to get done, I'd think - both the manufacture *and* distribution. Well, I'd say this post is long enough.
