That was touching, to the degree one can say that about such an unemotive race as the Asgard.

The racial suicide plan of the Asgard always struck me as silly, about as much so as the conclusion to nBSG, though at least it served a plot advancement purpose. At the least they could have put willing members into some sort of temporal suspension in the hope of future discoveries, and it seemed exceedingly unlikely that all of the Asgard would be dying at just the same time.
