on SGA, I don't know if it was deliberate - there wouldn't be much point, since it's not like the two shows compete. And certainly Stargate already had human-form robots, so it's not a new topic or anything. But I agree about the whole "We hate the Ancients so we're gonna go wipe out Atlantis because we can" rationale being weak. I would've preferred Our Heroes to escape or even be allowed to leave and have the Asurans left a little more ambiguously villainous.
And while I can see the appeal of new villains besides the Wraith, I suspect the Replicators are too much. They're either going to need new weaknesses that the other replicators didn't have, or Our Heroes' future encounters with them are going to reek of Plot Device to keep themselves alive. They already pulled out the "Rodney reprograms them" card -- there aren't too many more of those that are going to work. I didn't like the replicators in SG-1 for that reason, that technobabble solutions are too easy. (and I probably should've put this above but you get to be the beneficiary of my annoyance -- sorry (g))
