I hated--and still hate--the replicators as bad guys. For one thing, real replicators should be both vastly smaller (i.e., nano-tech sized) units that assemble themselves into macro-scale threats. Not tinker-toy sized robots. For another, for ultra-tech threats, they never seemed to come up with a better attack than "run forward and leap on things". Why the heck didn't they ever resort to projectile weapons like our heroes did?
Oh yeah--because THEY WOULD HAVE WON.
Also, the replicators were an all-or-nothing threat, which is always a bad idea in a villain. EITHER you utterly annihilate every single replicator on the planet OR they turn earth into gray goo. There's no middle ground. So OF COURSE our heroes will win.
The Goa'uld, by contrast, were capable of occasional victories--because a single win here and there didn't mean the end of human civilization.
As for the Wraith? I like my space vampires to be as god intended: looking like a naked and luscious Matilda May in LIFE FORCE....
