retro_eidasI hope we get to know more about them too.... but I suppose it's to be expected. We got the bigger bad asses in the Asurans, it was a matter of time before we got a different look at the Wraith / a change in direction for the former Big Bad Asses (Michael hardly counts since the Lantians essentially forced him to cooperate and brainwashed him... although he didn't kill Beckett when he easily could have, that's something I suppose).
Sheppard, emotionally resonant storyline, another interesting Wraith (outside of Michael) *and* actiony? This ep kicked so much ass!
Ronon is like a red leather wearing gorilla, but.. a hot gorilla. Kicking that door down? GUH! Even if he looked like he was going to bite someone's throat out 70% of this ep. With Ladon several times and even once with Elizabeth (when she let Ladon go). His "No promises" (regarding blasting a big hole in Kolya's chest with his hand canon?) Hot!
Rodney pretending to be Shep... and the thumbs up? HEEE!!
Was I the only one chanting "SAY HIS NAME!" When Canadian Tech Who We Always See But Yet Elusively Remains Nameless stepped up to Weir? I think it's almost like... a running joke poor guy has no name. Although I wonder the second he gets a name the writers will throw him off Atlantis' balcony or something?
"We reserve it to our most devout followers.... and brothers" Shep has a Wraith brother! awwww (and creepy). Can't wait for the slash after *this* one.
"He looks younger than he did before!" heee
Although I thought this was supposed to the one we got Sheppard backstory... got cut out again did it?
The whole team is either like one big sweet family so acutely concerned about each other's safety.... or they're all having orgies between episodes. I know what I prefer to believe!! *g*
Next ep's preview: Black leather? Ace Rodney? [ OMG!! Rodney's sister! ON ATLANTIS! EEEEeeee!! ... And Shep will probably hit on her. ]

Date: 2006-08-26 10:20 pm (UTC)Very Goa'uld, that. A bunch of meglomaniac aliens with superiority complexes and devout followers / slaves (brainwashed, forced or choosing to serve the Wraith willingly fearing the alternative)... yet free will, even if it's rare, still has some place in their society (unlike Origin). The Wraith also seem to have some kind of honor code. The Wraith mentioned Sheppard/his people not so different from Wraith after Shep's adamance on his people rescuing him (Lantians don't leave people behind... and neither do the Wraith?). Before that was brought up (via Michael in "Allies") due to the Lantians propensity / skill at betrayal and treachery.
Although I'd like to read the fic that touches on the nature of Wraith and their devout followers (or a devout follower and a Wraith).
They should have found their place/purpose for Teyla already. And really there is such meaty stuff to work with... Her past, her wraithgene
That's kind of why I want to see a return of Michael. There definitely seemed to be some very real potential drama in whatever relationship they had or could have. Particularly regarding Teyla's Wraithness (and why she has it. Her ancestors had been experimented on by Wraith, Michael was experimented on by the Lantians), their betrayal of Michael and Teyla seemingly one of the only ones who willingly chooses or Michael chooses to interact with on Atlantis. All of that and the years of tyranny she, her people and all of Pegasus have had to suffer under the Wraith. The writers are missing out on a treasure trove of character development keeping us out of Teyla's head regarding Michael. I do hope they try to address it again.
