Stargate Atlantis, Prodigal, Quote

Colonel John Sheppard: Alright. We’re giving Michael no quarter. You get a shot at him, take it. Make sure he’s dead.

Replicator from Ark of Truth

Brown Adult Stink Bug

Ok, you tell me.  Did the Stargate writers come up with the idea for the Replicators because they were busy fighting a loosing battle with Stink Bugs?

My girlfriend at work – Elaine H. came up with the idea that Replicators are actually Stink Bugs, only metal. Think about it. Stink Bugs are not native to the US. The came from China. So they are invaders from a land far, far away.  Replicators – ditto.  Once you get one Stink Bug in your house, you’d better start looking for more.  They don’t just come in 1′s.  Replicators – ditto.  The Stink Bugs eat everything and move on.  Replicators – ditto.  And you just can’t seem to kill Stink Bugs.  Hey and guess what – ditto on the Replicators.  They even look a like!

Cetus [who is a Replicator]: What were you doing in the flooded sections of the city?
Major General Jack O’Neill: The backstroke… I think.
Talus [who is a Replicator]: What were you planning?
Jack: Well I was planning to retire, but man is that over rated. You know I’m not a workaholic or anything but, I need to stay active… you know, in the community… it’s a health, maintinance sort of thing.

Richard Woolsey: That sounded like another explosion.
Major General Jack O’Neill: Yes, yes it did.
Woolsey: What does that mean?
Jack: Something exploded.

Dr. Rodney McKay: Oh my God, he is Kirk.
