I personally think that the wraith are not that much of a threat as they used to be back in the kulling times... when I saw the wraith in season 1 I thought they were powerful and everyone was scared of them [people in atlantis] now its just a case of using one of the spaceships to destroy them...

Then they got shot down so easily (new ammo, couldn't keep on resurrecting them, either!) and yeah, no more thread. Character development for the Wraith was the next step, with Michael it somewhat began, and with Todd it got completed, and here we are.
