I Have An Idea about Todd

[Anon]

When Todd goes to get bitten by the iratus bug, to cure him self, he will be successful. But he said that 100,000 years ago, that would work. I am suspecting that it does not work properly. He will change, drastically, he will become some vicious monster, that has instincts like a iratus but, the kindness of a iratus but (im not saying that Todd was nice to start out with). But he will change. and he will be the enemy at the gate, and prob the major villain in Stargate Twilight.

Not so sure about that. Todd said, very sincerely, too...that he would not forget Sheppard's compassion in letting him go. The theme of compassion was woven throughout this ep, and - I suspect - done so to teach Todd the concept of compassion. From the sounds of it, there is a Wraith threat in the final episode, but I would not be surprised if Todd comes to the aid of the Lanteans, if for nothing else than to pay back to Sheppard what he owes him...as compassionate an act any Wraith can give. However, in this regard my biggest fear is that they will use this as an opportunity to have Todd do something ultimately 'noble', such as sacrifice himself so the humans can live. That would totally suck. And it would totally destroy the character, and all they have done with him, to turn him into just another villain. He's come way to far for that.

Well technically we don't that for sure. JM hinted at him being in the movie but this wouldn't be the first time fans have misread what JM has said

Actually, Todd said that 100,000 years ago, it wouldn't work most of the time, as it would cause the Wraith in question to die. However, now that Todd has recieved the treatment, maybe it will work. Well, we know it will work. I just doubt that he'll become the villian, even though the promo pics show him as a prisoner again.

[tricky]

Well, we always see Todd as a prisoner. always at least 2 guards on him at all times (though they could search him better).
And while that old treatment almost always killed the Wraith in question, Todd isn't an ordinary Wraith right now: who knows, this could actually be the thing that doesn't restore him to normal Wraith functionality, but actually does what the whole 'retro-virus' idea was supposed to do.
Or at least make him a less evil Hybrid.

I sincerely hope that he won't turn into an Iratus a$$...

I disagree with the rest of the post.

well what ever floats ur boat

[Lonely Goldfish]

I'm just saying he gets cured of his "Cancer" (without Questing the whole feeding hand thing; Although, I don't think he's going to be feeding on humans anymore)

That would be great. I would love to see Christopher on again with no makeup, although people might mistake him for that Athosian guy.

The Wraith haven't been around for that long. Because I doubt they went 90,000 years without warring with the Ancients (and the War only lasted 100 years, upon whose end the Ancients left for Earth 8000 B.C. So the Wraith are around 10100+ years old).

Also, why shouldn't it work for Todd? Todd was actually alive 10.000 years ago, so if it worked 10.000 years ago, then it should work for him, since he was born then.

So as long as the Iratus bug hasn't changed drastically, it should still work.

Not so sure about that. Todd said, very sincerely, too...

Todd is known to honor his promises and his word. He's also known to not lie. Deceive and not tell the entire truth, yeah. But not outright lying.

The transcript confirms what I thought I heard.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago there was a treatment of last resort.

That's several lots of 100,000 years that the Wraith have been around. It doesn't make sense that the Lanteans didn't find them until just over 10,000 years ago but I'm guessing we viewers aren't supposed to question such things.

The writers are hacks (at writing). What else is new. Either it's a retcon or it's them not remembering their own writing and writing in plot holes, who knows.

Either way, it makes for bad TV for us thinking and analyzing viewers (as opposed to those who just view Atlantis casually).

Hopefully as an interesting turn of events when Todd finds an Iratus Queen and allows it to bite him... it doesn't grant him his feeding ability back. At which point he'd be stuck as a wraith that can't feed...

Todd's a steak and potatos kind of guy... O_O Right after we figure out the teeth problem and move off the liquid diet.
Thinking now...Technically the bug should kill the cancer/ boost his imune system so he could heal himself. I think? He wouldn't get the feeding ability back. (Example: you cut off an arm your not growing it back no matter how much you let the Iratus bug feed on you) That just makes sence to me.
All Wraith without Depending on humans to live. Truely un-leshed.
