I'm really hoping this will be the end of the replicator episodes. I really liked how the Stargate series story tended to focus on the idea that gods of humanity were actually aliens possessing advanced technology, and I feel like the series has been moving away from that significantly by diverting its attention to these replicator episodes. The Goa'uld story involving the ancient Egyptian gods was good. Stargate: Atlantis seemed to be off to a better start with its emphasis on the wraith rather than replicators, but as we see with this episode, they keep going back to replicators. And thus far at least, the show hasn't really used the wraith to add to its central story idea it began with: that human gods were aliens. Thus, this episode is just another diversion from the story content I initially found interesting, which is one reason I'm dissatisfied with it.
