Storyline
The Asgard home galaxy has been over-run by the replicators, and they ask for SG-1's help. The Asgard believed they had trapped the replicators with a device that would slow down time, but it seems to have failed. They need SG-1 to enter replicator infested space, find the time dilation machine and reset it. When SG-1 land at the designated point, they meet 5 individuals, who control the replicators. The others reveal that they are an evolution of the replicators - composed of micro-cellular replicator blocks, and modeled on Reese, who created the original replicators. These others have reset the time machine so that time is moving more quickly within this area of space - to allow them to evolve and build an enormous army that can invade the rest of space. The minds of the team are probed by the first 4 others. However, the last member of the others (called Fifth) seems reluctant - he is described as weak by First, the leader of the replicators. He was an attempt to model Reese more ... Written by Caitríona

Major Samantha Carter: They didn't approve the mission?
Colonel Jack O'Neill: Well no, they did that. Once they knew the stakes and the whole fate of the universe stuff, both the President and Hammond realized we had no choice. He sends good luck, God speed and all those things he says when he thinks we're gonna die.
Major Samantha Carter: So what didn't they go for?
Colonel Jack O'Neill: The name I suggested.
Major Samantha Carter: For the ship?
Colonel Jack O'Neill: Yeah.
Major Samantha Carter: Yeah, sir, we can't call it the Enterprise.
Colonel Jack O'Neill: Why not?

Just after Carter reveals that there was nothing left on the planet but the miles-deep stack of Replicator blocks and the building in front of them, they go down stairs that are full of spider webs. See more »Quotes

Although the episode picks up right where "Prometheus" ended, there is little connection between both eps. Instead of Goa'ulds and NID traitors, we're now dealing with the Asgaard's favorite toy robots, the Replicators. There is a rather lengthy bit of catching-up as Thor explains the current situation, then the real action starts. It's rather fun to see how blasé the SGC crew have become with the Asgaard's rather cavalier interferences. Saving galaxies is now something they do at lunchtime --if they don't have an appointment to kick some Goa'uld butt first.
Anyway, the second part of the episode is much more disturbing as we discover what the Replicators have been up to. It also raises a lot of fascinating questions about what humanity is... but regrettably, once again one episode is much too short to properly deal with them. The interesting point is that even though SG-1 obviously get away with it, they don't exactly do so with honours. (Daniel would never have agreed.) And even though O'Neill has repeatedly denied that robots might be treated as humans, he clearly feels bad at having "done the right thing".
Now I hope that there will be some follow-up on that story, as it concludes a really huge arc and could have major repercussions on both the series and its ethical stance. But maybe that's too much to ask.
