to answer the title of the thread. To make the good guys seem smarter. If the bad guy was too smart and always one the good guy would look like a moron.

I lost count of how many times it happened. last time it was with Todd stunning everyone on the ship and locking them in a room even though he was gonig to crash the ship and kill them later. as a wraith with diminising food supply he wouldn't thrown away so much food. he would have fed on them before leaving.
now the same story with michael locking everyone up even though he was going to blow up the city anyway. why take the trouble of dragging them all to a room and leave them alive?
and leave only 1 guard at the door.
and since he was just standing there doing nothing the whole episode except ordering his henchman to arm the self destruct, why not take the baby and leave and tell his henchmen to finish the work themselves?

Originally posted by AscendedThor View Postafter this episode its safe to say that michael is one of the dumbest villain we ever saw.
almost as stupid as that Goauld scientist who sneaked up behind sg1 only to get himself killed by saying "fools" and warning them instead of just killing them.
rodney said it best, michael is like a bug that you can squash but it just keeps getting away.
that's the biggest weakness of this series, there are no epic villains like we had in sg1.
if not for the fact that this was the last season they might have made michael escape AGAIN and that would have been way too annoying.

Ronon is lying unconscious, Michael approaches Ronon, Michael has a knife, Michael prepares to kill Ronon (and maybe take his head for a "prize"). He hears a noise.
Instead of just exacting his vengeance and killing Ronon, he just... doesn't. I mean, come on! it takes 2 seconds to slit someone's throat! Great, you heard a noise, not slit that throat and then worry about it.
