Honestly, the Asgard are my favorite alien race of all time. They're polite, straightforward and honest with you, yet are fully willing to talk to you as an equal if you can impress them or give them a reason to be. Plus, they stick to their word and believe in Quid Pro Quo. If I could pick an ideal "First Contact" species, it would be them, 100%. They will treat you with the respect you treat them.
Interesting little tidbit, when Hermion is muttering what seems like gibberish, he's actually speaking backwards. For example at about 1:50 (after Sheppard asks if he's supposed to be naked) his gibberish is actually something along the lines of "these humans are infants", just backwards.
Hermiod was the best asgard hands down. Not only the smartest, but not burdened by shallow fake morals, if his job was to teleport bombs into the enemy ship, well he was going to do it. And he was the only one in the whole freaking universe who could look down on McKay and not by underestimating him.
I think it was part of the attraction for him. He could never admit it, even to himself but he knew she was cleverer than him. I almost thought his sister was, too but then I came to the conclusion that they are on a level. It's just that she's more imaginative and can think outside the box while Rodney is more constrained by rigid mathematical logic.
@@stevearmstrong9213 Rodney sort of admitted it to her at the beginning of season 6 in the infermery after she gets a shock when the EMP generator goes ary.
McKay created a machine that brought him to the point of ascension but at the last minute decided not to. In one episode he did what Daniel did in a while story arc.
I actually heard that this scene was improv by McKays actor because the Women misunderstood direction and stood in the wrong place blocking him. So he stayed in character and since he did not know the name he just went with "airperson, don´t be there."
is it wrong to think the only reason Hermiod was assigned to Daedalus was because he is always like this and the rest of the Asgard just want a break from him?
The Asgard are an interesting case. Due to them just cloning themselves and transferring their consciousness into the new body, they remain at their positions in their society forever. Thor was Supreme Commander of the Asgard fleet and that position probably didn't open up for thousands of years. So Hermiod was a scientist, doing research and dealing with the same kind of problem for milennia. So of course he's developing a no nonsense attitude.
Any scientist worth his or her salt realizes they know very little outside of their specific area of specialization. Hermiod's superior attitude is a reflection of the same type of mindset in many human scientists these days, who feel themselves morally superior because they are experts in a narrow field.
I think you're thinking it in a too human way. I am not so sure the Asgard are after ambition (as in being ""promoted""), and being a scientist might actually be the best position for a civilisation running after knowledge and progress. Also, I guess they could change job if they wanted to. Thor could have left his commandership but he probably liked it and was very efficient.

Murmuring to himself has given him so much character. This superior race. These highly logical beings. A beacon of hope in the galaxy. Revered by many. One of the four races and STILL... Not impervious to some good ol' irritation courtesy of our beloved Dr. Novak.
I'd watch a show just about Novak and Hermiod. The biggest tragedy of losing the Asgard race was losing all of these great interactions between them and the silly humans.
“Am i the only one who thinks it’s weird we’re working with an Alien” Yeah, you ARE the only one, and it’s kinda weird you have that opinion given how many times you’ve should’ve gotten used to the idea by then
To be fair John wasn't even aware of aliens before the Atlantis expedition, and there were mostly humans in the Pegasus galaxy, aside from wraith. Pretty sure that was his first time meeting an asgard since they'd used to stargate to travel to the Milky Way
I agree that even if I had met the wraith at this point, hanging out with a Grey, especially with how casual everyone else is about it, would have taken me a while to get used to.
Haha I absolutely love the internal monologues you add, randomly stumbling across Stargate content again on RUclips just brings back so much nostalgia 😌 (even though SG1's first few seasons were even before I was born). Thank you so much for bringing back so many fond memories of watching this show during the long summer breaks from school, this being Australia with nothing else to do as well... On a side note though, it always felt strange to me how the showrunners decided in Unending to kill all Asgardians (if thats the word?), it always felt so unnecessary. Their primary enemy (replicators) wiped out, Ori (being checked and also fighting on a limited force across three galaxies) and Goa'uld all gone. The idea of irreparable damage being done to their people due to genetic cloning also didn't feel imminent, it always makes one wonder what they would've done in their original SG1 season 11 storyline if they were greenlit for another season. But alas, the Asgard beam sure came in handy later on in SG:A's run, albeit discarded again in SG:U.
it always confused me how they diliked using the beaming tech as a weapon and yet they had no issue beaming people up with out permission or blowing hostile ships to pieces i mean with how advanced their scanners were they could have just beamed the control systems of hostile ships out once they breeched the shields thus disabling them and forcing them to withdraw which is why i suspect the whole not using beaming as a weapon was a plot device more than anything.
Well for one, humanity at that point wasn't supposed to get weapon technology from the Asgard, so using the transporters as a weapon was kind of against the agreement so to speak. Also I guess using the transporter tech as weapon might be to Hermiod like somehow using penicilin as weapon, twisting something for a peaceful purpose into a weapon.
tis a slippery sloop - and its also agreed that asgards don't like them to do such things or use such weapons for a chance for them to do use it against them even if they are allies - (human history is explain for this too easy to turn on each other) - secondly from a story standpoint its super easy
@@sephiroaone-of-nine101 well, we don't want a slippery sloop. Or the seamen will be all over the place in rough weather. The Asgard have good reason to be concerned in that case.

He was so "beloved" by the rest of his race that he got exiled... ehm promoted to babysit... assist bunch of primitives who play with technology, beyond their understanding, they slapped together and call it a ship. That's my interpretation anyway.
I always love little moments of Asgard characters appreciating human simplicity. "Crap, Indeed." Cause Thor posited it very early on that The Asgard's technological and genetic advancement has made it hard for them to think in simplier direct ideas and solutions. Thus it was one of humanity's greatest strengths that even as they gain access to vast knowledge, they don't over complicate things. So when ever an Asgard has moments like that I love it cause it shows the appreciation they have for human simplicity.
Haha "Is he supposed to be naked like that". Imagine you are an alien on a ship with a different alien species and you just don't wear clothes and eat weird stuff just to f*ck with them.
They really needed hermiod to be a regular, have one random grunt that'd been with the SGC a while and gets the whole 5th race thing who calls him out on his arrogance, poiintingnout 'sure, you're smarter, but we still saved you.. repeatedly, as you saved us... so maybe try to get along better'.
"Ah, so they _can_ fly that ship without you! :p" "Yes. But apparently _you_ cannot run these tests without me." Suck it up, Meredith. You set yourself up _perfectly_ for that one.
I’m convinced that Hermiod is the guy in an office where everyone drops off all the unfinished work to be done after finishing his own and was about to go home early.
At 0:44 -- in regard to the release of the weapon, Hermiod mutters in reversed English speech: “When will these humans learn that there are *consequences* to action?” At 1:52 -- in regard to the insulting comment about him being naked, Hermiod remarks in reversed English speech: “These humans are *infants*…"

Thus it was one of humanity's greatest strengths that even as they gain access to vast knowledge, they don't over complicate things. So when ever an Asgard has moments like that I love it cause it shows the appreciation they have for human simplicity.
Haha "Is he supposed to be naked like that".
Imagine you are an alien on a ship with a different alien species and you just don't wear clothes and eat weird stuff just to f*ck with them.
4:41 was the truly iconic moment
I don't know much about this show, but my uncle was one of the dudes who did the special effects for this show so thats pretty cool.
That’s so cool! You should watch it, it’s so good.
00:49 The sigh always makes me laugh.
They really needed hermiod to be a regular, have one random grunt that'd been with the SGC a while and gets the whole 5th race thing who calls him out on his arrogance, poiintingnout 'sure, you're smarter, but we still saved you.. repeatedly, as you saved us... so maybe try to get along better'.
So..O'neill (with 2 x L) then?
I like how they have a couple of buttons assigned to macros that run whatever virus is up on the screen through a translation program
Asgard like hermiond is still the reason why I'm very upset about them being gone 😔
I miss Thor.
Dr Kavanaugh......stop talking please is my absolute top line in all of Atlantis.
LOL 1:49 "These humans are infants" Never realized their language was just English backwards.
You got to like his attitude and sarcasim🤣
The Asgard just didn't make a ship named after O'Neil, they also took his sass. lol
Finally! An edit honoring my fave Asgardian
Is there anyone else you’d like me to make?
@@TheFaceOfWhoDWTSG Jonas Quinn definitely!
@@jio5680 ooo didn’t think about that!! I’ll see what I can do!
@@TheFaceOfWhoDWTSG I'll be waiting)
I would love to see an edit of all the times someone....usually Rodney, sometimes John, made a comedic reference to Kirk!
"Ah, so they _can_ fly that ship without you! :p"
"Yes. But apparently _you_ cannot run these tests without me."
Suck it up, Meredith. You set yourself up _perfectly_ for that one.
I miss the Asgard 😢
Hermiod with the shade! I love it.
Consciousness comes from everywhere. Why can’t this guy be a field creator too?
I’m convinced that Hermiod is the guy in an office where everyone drops off all the unfinished work to be done after finishing his own and was about to go home early.
Hermiod, before Sheldon was even existing.
Sigh, Indeed, your assistance on this project shall be noted.
this has the same energy as us modern humans interacting with our ancestors in ancient Egypt and/or Rome
That's because that's literally what it is...
I love how perturbed he makes Sheppard. He’s looks so uncomfortable and ready to be anywhere but there with the naked alien. 😂
0:47 "When will these humans learn there are consequenses to actions?"
You know somethings fucked up when the asgard say "crap indeed"
I also love, "Airperosn, don't be there."
Cool little dude.
Shoot, I had no idea Hermiod had that much screen time
Shocked Novak's hickups didn't kick in more dealing with Hermiod...
To me the best part was that final "Yay"!!!!!
Anyone else think the Stargate Universe series probably goes at least 3 seasons if Hermiod had a "twin" on Destiny...
...complete with snarkiness!
The asgardians acted all high and mighty right up until they needed us primatives to destroy their replicators for them 😂
Fun fact when Hermiod speaks in his language it's actually just english backwards
The bards/bods No longer need to rely on aquaria, underwater aquaria as a future home
Crap, indeed!!😂
Video of title should have been Hemorrhoid being iconic for nearly 6 minutes straight.
At 0:44 -- in regard to the release of the weapon, Hermiod mutters in reversed English speech: “When will these humans learn that there are *consequences* to action?”
At 1:52 -- in regard to the insulting comment about him being naked, Hermiod remarks in reversed English speech: “These humans are *infants*…"
