"...And look where it got them." - Oh snap. The burn. Someone call an ambulance.

I love how they have an off key version of the asgard theme playing to distinguish these rebel asgard from the noble ones.

These Asgard were truly the most evil of all. The broke the sacred grey alien rule they wore clothes.

"you've encountered our kind before?" "not just encountered them, I am their voice."

It always blows my mind every time we hear an Asgard voice and they talk to Daniel, nine times out of 10 it's Michael Shanks talking to himself. It's amazing when any voice actor does this but I especially love it in Stargate.

Asgard: "Let's be friends with the humans! Together we can build a bright future!" Humans: "Wohoo, friendship!" Asgard: *whiped out Vanir: "You didn't listen to that bunch of hippies, didn't you?"

Really wish they continued Atlantis and continued the Vanir story, it had so much potential

I find it interesting that the Vanir main focus was research on how to fix their gene but they lack the advanced weapons as the Asgard. This means the Vanir's weapons and shield are a few thousand years behind the Asgard. This explains how the Travelers' weapons were able to overcome Vanir's shields and the Traveler's shield held against the Vanir's weapons.

"and look where it got them" well... he's got a point there

I love the name they gave these ones to differentiate them. Really plays into the Norse mythos theme. Vanir were a set of Norse gods separate from the Aesir or as they are more often called in pop culture Asgardians.

I truly wish Atlantis never got cancelled. I wanted to see more of The Vanir.

The music at the reveal always gets me here. Hearing the Asgard music playing giving that sense of familiarity with that added layer of menace always makes the scene feel off in the best possible way. Very well made!

To be fair the Asgard has a point the good Asgard killed themselfs

Asgardians of SG1 will always be my favourite alien species... not cause they are the typical mars type; but because of who they are, what they do, and their interactions with SG1

For those who dont know the mythology, quite simply put, the Vanir was a rival to the Asgards. So much more lore i would have wanted from this.

I did NOT see that coming!(just like Rodney said!) Serious goosebumps all over

"And where are they now?" "Dead." "Hmm." When you confirm to the evil alien he was correct.

Not the Asgard we know, but still the same little grey butts.

SGA: We invented this cool new race to be the primary antagonists of the show. SG1: They're just space vampires. SGA: Uh, ok. We invented these new robot guys who evolved to look like humans. They're called- SG1: You stole our Replicators! Dammit Atlantis! SGA: Shit, sorry. Look, you'll like this one. We're introducing these new antagonists for Season 5. We based them off the Grey aliens who folklore believes crashed at Roswell. SG1: ¯\_ಠ_ಠ_/¯.

Nice scene & also subtly ironic since Michael Shanks voiced Thor in the show.

"Sometimes the only choices you have are bad. You still have to choose." - The Doctor

I dont know enough of the Stargate lore but I'm pretty sure all the 5 races do in fact share an ancient common ancestor, hence why the humans resemble the precursors to modern Asgard. If this is true I wouldn't be surprised that the local cluster of galaxies were we are are full of descendants humanoids from that ancient ancestor

3:26 the moment Daniel switches from confusion and curiosity to pure disgust.

The think I never understood about the Asgard Experiments on humans is why didn't they just ask them for some volunteers? From what I could tell the experiments weren't harmful in any way so given that and all the Asgard did for earth I'm sure some people would be willing to volunteer

Daniel: “What are you?” 01:59 ASSguard

This is the way.

This episode floored me and I was SOOO ready for Daniel to become a staple on the show. Hahahah He's my fav character so sue me lol

What few people realize, the Asgards had solved the Clone Problem but did not have enough time to implement their plan with the ORI hard on their tails. When the Asgard planet exploded, the Asgard were no longer there but had used the spatial interference to beam themselves to another Galaxy. In all the knowledge they had given to the Humans, a clue was left but SG1 failed to find that clue. Years later, the Original SG1 team had visions from Thor that asked why SG1 had failed to rescue them from Stasis in the Far distant Galaxy which is the lead in to the New Stargate Series that see's the return of the fully cured Asgard and Earth Humans now the fifth Race.

This is one of the loose ends that existed and frustrated me. If SGC discovered THE or AN genetic DNA and Memory data bank of all Asgard minds and memories (perhaps they all wirelessly updated with each new scan no matter where they were in the universe and perhaps some lay forgotten), they could help these remaining Asgard go the right way about fixing their gene pool and resurrecting their race without all the side effects of cloning. I could picture a Human/Asgard looking Thor suddenly awakening and seeing his Human friends and wondering what the hell happened.

This was a legitimately great twist. You know the Asgard’s are a part of this whole story, but ignore them completely since they’re associated with SG1. But it makes complete sense to see them here, and when you do…damn lol

In any new Stargate series I want them to find a "cure" for the asgard and bring them back.. the whole point of leaving behind their entire collective data was because they also saved their conciousness in that computer too right? To be brought back if they humans could find a way? You can't have stargate without the Asgard! 😂

As bad as i felt about rogue asgard of this much evil, I still admire them as a race. Hurts to know that they are gone.

I get a power ranger vibe from this guys

Stargate was basically my first exposure to most of Norse mythology. I knew Thor as a little grey alien before anything else. Having since seen the MCU, and become familiar with the Marvel comics and original myth, it is hilarious to me that the rule-breaking, mischievous scientist messing with humanity was Loki. I think Heimdall was also a prominent Asgard. These names meant nothing at the time.

Daniel really didn’t pull it off here. It didn’t matter what he say. That vanir went like „uhm yeah… but… they are dead. So why are you talking?“ 😂😂

I always found it amazing that SG1 was so against Loki/ the Vanir experimenting I mean a few human lives vs a entire races survival we all know humanity wouldn’t do anything different if the roles where reversed. Of course there plan to kill millions over killl.

I love that last line .. Look where it got them. You can stand on your high horse and your morals. But if at some point it hurts you more that it helps, why? Going full blown the ends justify the means is wrong. But so is the opposite end, refusing to act due to high morals or ethics. Life requires balance, both good and evil unfortunately.

Thor likes the yellow ones.

I never heard Dr Jackson so angry in a long time.

Hard to argue with that "look where it got them".

I like how the Asgard theme has that little evil twist to it

This is the way! Said the badass Asgard in full armor....

Its makes me sad that thor died yet these lot survived 😢

That Asgard music tho....

I love the continuity presented in SG1 and Atlantis.

Oh snap talk about spitting facts over here. Daniel may not agree but that Asgard is right

Disney Mandalorians: _This is The Way._ Ay...Caramba!

Lol I just love how it's just as sarcastic as the other asgard. That flat 'mmmm' when he says the noble asgard are dead.

Daniel probably right now: I miss Thor.

I love Daniels Face when he sees an Asgard in the Pegasus Galaxy!I had the same Face when i saw a Asgard in the Atlantis Series!

i grew up watching stargate sg1, then atlantis, and finally universe... there is just such a huge part of my brain that is engraved with all the stories and characters, i have rewatched it so many times! i really hope Amazon treats it well, and makes a real faithful continuation, with a proper handoff with the originals!

Daniel could have proposed using Felger's virus to disable all the stargates in the galaxy.

thats some logic bomb!

i always see sg1 as trash tv yet it always aired on a channel when i grew up, so it was a memorable. and in this clip, iv learned so much about nothing in less than 4 min i never thought i knew after just lazy watching some episodes throught the years. great scene.

Oh if only there was a 5th Season of Atlantis.

“Encountered them, bitch I am Thor!”

so sad to see that we never got a name for any of the atlantis asgard

This scene was crazy

I just realized something, the travelers made there first colony on a planet in long time, the asguard venturing out into galaxy. I wonder if there is some sort of connection between the asguard and travelers?

I kinda agree to everything the asgard here just said. He is completely right.

Would have been even more epic if the Asgard also opened up and out popped a Furling at the end.... and they are the super baddies of S6 and S7. Tech powered and clones and intricate knowhow of Stargate etc

The stories we could have gotten had they not killed off the Asgard or ended Stargate Atlantis

The thankfully since the Asgard are not entirely extinct this group can hopefully save their species with the help of Atlantis thus the Asgard will finally prevail.

Man, first we get those weird robot-like aliens in the "Daedalus Variations" and then the return of the Asgard, but now as enemies. ...And then the show had to end!

in one of the expanded books they wrap up the story line with the Vanir actually finding a solution. The Vanir remake the though future generation will find their actions deplorable, at least their will be future generations.

Gut punch.

This soundtrack is amazing.

I remember watching this episode when it aired thinking OOOOOH SHIIIII they brought them back! Then like oh okay….they killed them again 😂

I'm so mad we didn't get to see more of these new Asgard. Just one more season of Atlantis to tie up the loose ends. Or a finale movie like we got for SG1.

❤❤❤the azgard❤❤❤❤❤

"They always did the right thing for the right reasons. The end never justifies the means." "Which is why they met their end. They no longer have any justice or any means." When things go bad - it is the ruthless and efficient who survive, who prevail, who continue, who win.

Even if they are a bit more evil I like that the Asgard go on living in Pegasus galaxy. Hopefully one day they solve their problems ... but I think they are just playing for time, like the rest of us.

A not so benevolent offshoot of the Asgard.

Watching these episodes again and just like when I watched it all those years ago, I have one issue. That dogfight between the Asgard ships and Larrin's faction was complete bullshit. They're the same race that gave us the weapons technology to destroy Ancient and Ori ships with ease. The Asgard are so much more advanced than us, it's not even funny. How in the hell was that hunk o' junk able to even take a single shot from the Asgard ships, let alone destroy one? It just doesn't make sense. Sure, you could argue that it had been thousands of years since these Asgards used ships so they were rusty, or that they simply didn't have the resources to make something more powerful, but they didn't even try to explain it. It's a plothole that the audience needs to rationalize in their minds. That's just always bothered me

So basically, Asgards still would be alive, if they had expremimented on humans, like those of Pegase ...

After the eight season of SG-1 it was just downhill, killing of the Asgards and ageing Teal'c...made me waste many hours for the two seasons.

I could see a Stargate movie where they hijack the Odyssey on a resupply trip to Atlantis and use the core from the Season 10 ending to create new clones of the Asgard stored in the core. SG-1 reunites and is joined by Sheppard's team and General O'Neill to go after the ship and find Thor is alive again.

I propose that SG1 could have brought back the Asgard in our own galaxy. Starting with blank clones like the one created by Colson Industries, they could have used the repository of knowledge (Ancient face-sucker) on them. Ethical? I don't know. Useful? Definitely.

If jack was there, he would say "this is how you thank the us after we saved your grey butts from the replicators"

Loki was killed by Thanos... Oh, wrong universe

👽les Asgards , je vous aime trooop ❤❤❤❤

Goose bumps grrrr

When I first saw this I was like "NO WAY!!!"

I like how they are talking like Asgards , but it still spooked me

If Daniel was a better negotiator there probably could have been an amicable end to this episode. (Of course plot has to happen because plot but still.)

"Dead, but that had nothing to do with us." "Mmm." Lmao.

My idea for season 6. I would really enjoy a scenario where the Vanir get into a full scale fight with Atlantis and ultimately overplay their hand and underestimate Atlantis... in the climax episode, multiple Daedalus class ships show up at the last moment to save Atlantis by quickly making an example out of one of the Vanir ships (cause lets be real just ONE Daedalus class Destroyer could probably explode most of their fleet) and force them to surrender their fleet or be destroyed. This forces them into agreeing to a diplomatic position where they along with their fleet are supplied by Atlantis with the intergalactic drives that the Daedalus destroyers use (A deal too good to refuse), giving them the ability to return back to the milky way galaxy (The Vanir had all their intergalactic capable ships destroyed much earlier on by the Wraith). Once they return to the Milky Way, The "Tau'ri" scout out multiple suitable planets and present the options to the Vanir for settlement where they can rebuild their civilization under the protection of the Tau'ri with an eventual alliance forming. Because the Vanir are not necessarily "evil" or even "bad guys", they are simply desperate to save their race. And without the threat of attack or annihilation (And easy living on a warm, pleasant planet) they would most assuredly cease all hostilities and become good allies. The Tau'ri could then give them all the supply they need for research in terms of human stem cells and genetic data, hell even Terminally ill humans could willingly volunteer to allow experimentation on them and use of their physical bodies/organs after death, (not much different from current organ donation practices in modern western society). Also the Tau'ri, between any ancient labs they find on earth... and or the Atlantis database, they might be able to find some ancient genetic science that helps the Vanir with their issue or solves in entirely. And just like that, The Asgard return from "extinction" and can now spend the next couple hundred years rebuilding their civilization under the protection of Earth. Earth can even transport more technology and raw materials to the new Asgard home world than they themselves could possibly produce and give them a giant step forward in rebuilding. Within 40 years they would be a thriving, prosperous civilization and probably already settling colonies on a few other planets.

I was shocked when they took Atlantis off the air. I just knew the Vaner was going to be the new big bad.

Hard to argue with that.

In the stargate books they continued this storyline

lol they reused the Asgard suits as the spacesuits on board Destiny in SG-U

He’s got you there Daniel. Given what humans do to entire species for pleasure or quarterly profits, don’t even try to tell him that a species can’t experiment on a handful of another species to prevent their own extinction.

I'd have loved to see these Asgard experiment on Wraith like Michael to see if they could overcome their genetic degredation.

The device could have been really useful if they managed to shut down the Stargate network beforehand. We know it's possible, we've seen it before.

I agree with the grey guy !

Anyone read the books? You can read what happened after TV series. Books are really good and continue story of this new asgard also.

I still think SGA should have explored the Asgard in this universe. It would’ve been cool as well if the Asgards discovered a secret storage device that contained all the minds of Asgard . So in case the Tau’ri ever discovered or solved the problem of degradation then the computer start immediately downloading the minds into new bodies.

I remember this got spoilt about a day after part one aired.

Loki would be saying : THEY CALLED ME A MADMAN LOKI IS ASGARD'S THANOS!

Can't even argue with him
