SG-1 visited a world where they found an android girl lying inactive. They managed to reactivate her, but discovered shortly afterwards that she was able to create the Replicators from any raw materials she could find using some form of nano-technology. She also has the ability to directly control them with her mind, and she attempts to take over the SGC when it becomes clear that they aren't going to just let her leave when she wants to. They eventually manage to disable her (O'Neill shoots her at close range), and her body, for want of a better word, is sent to the Asgard for closer study.
The Asgard are unable to reactivate her (for plot device reasons they aren't so advanced all of a sudden), but they do manage to find a latent command in her memory core; "come forth". They implant this command into a powerful beacon, place it on their homeworld (don't ask me why they couldn't place it some shithole planet instead) and broadcast it across the known universe, causing all the Replicators to congregate in the one place.
The beacon is, of course, a trap; it creates a subspace bubble around it, slowing time down by a factor of 1000, or something like that, effectively sealing the Replicators off from the rest of the universe and giving the Asgard forever to think of a way to deal with them.
But, of course, it goes wrong. When the Replicators come into contact with the body of the android girl who created them, some of them are able to change their form into that of her, becoming a more advanced form of Replicator. One of them is able to use his new power to infiltrate a microscopic crack in the time dilation device and reprogram it, causing time to pass faster within the bubble instead of slower. The Replicators then use the thousands of years they have to consume everything on the Asgard homeworld, before they are ready to launch a final strike on the Asgard, wiping them out for good.
Of course, the Asgard have to call upon SG-1 to sort this problem out, which they do (I won't explain how; I've probably spoiled the episode enough already).

Frankly, I don't know what the Hell you're talking about, Tass. The only impression I get from the show's version of Russia is that they are a former superpower who lost that title recently (by a few years) and are just trying to stay on par with the US Military. They don't like US domination of the Stargate program, but had precious little they could do about it until they found a gate, with an intact DHD, of their own. Once they gave that up in exchange for more equal participation in SGC, they still play second fiddle to the US Military. They resent it, of course, but they don't want to risk losing the opportunities afforded by gate travel.

My ass.  Methinks you need to revisit the episodes that gave you THAT impression of the show's portrail of Russia, Tass.

How am I supposed to catch up on the gap between the 2000 season and the 2002 season, the latter of which they've been airing on fridays?
