    Only the first few episodes when they first got aired in my country. Is there an episode with similar creatures?

      The Ancients had drone weapons of similar shape, but about 1 meter long. From what I remember, the very first episode featured one in Antarctica (before gating to Atlantis). The awkward scientist launches one that bursts out of the snow and starts chasing the jock officer in a helicopter. They glow when flying. It’s not a very unique shape but it specifically reminded me of the first snow scene

          Gotcha. I saw all 3 series and enjoyed each for various reasons. I’m just always intrigued when I find something within your work that harks back to a specific item in my memory, wondering if you drew inspiration from the same space. I know our general age and interests have notable overlap.

          I don’t recommend SG: Universe unless you loved Battlestar Galactica (2004 series) and can just turn on your blinders to the hurried wrapup of season 2/the series when it didn’t pull BSG numbers.

              I saw season 1-3 live but only finished the show around 2022. My wife and I fell off during season 3 two different times. Literally 10 years. I missed the original S4 airing due to school or something. But at least we know now that it’s not so bleak if you can emotionally get past New Caprica
