Predictions for "The Hive"

[Steve_the_Wraith]

So watched the Hive and a big cliff-hanger, so what do you think will happen?

My idea very spoilery - even though its based off only 3 pieces of information

SPOILERS
Well apparently one spoiler said Sheppard ends up with a little girl in a cell, waiting to be further interrogated by the queen.

From Gateworld (AKA piece 1):

He finds himself sharing a cell on board a Wraith ship with Neera, a timid young girl he rescued from a stasis cocoon. Neera's entire world was destroyed, and the girl once witnessed her mother and her brother being fed upon by the Wraith. She knew that she was marked for this grisly fate as well

Sheppard tries to keep the mood light to encourage Neera, while at the same time looking for a way to escape. She is impresses that the Colonel does not fear the Wraith, and wants to know more about where he comes from.

What in science fiction have we learned about strange little girls who want to know everything about you? Let me give you a hint - she probably even has a strange accent . My theory is that the little girl is the Wraith Queen/Keeper messing with Sheppards head, trying to get him to reveal secrets. Because of his ancienty-ness she won't be able to just force him to tell her the answer (like Sumner was forced) so she resorts to trickery. I expect Shep to catch on eventually


Thats it for Gateworld spoilers and on to some speculation -
McKay is going to escape his captors but not for long, using there enhanced skills they'll hunt him down - he'll get rescued at the last minute by Lornes team.

Back on Atlantis McKay will inform Weir and co. about whats going on before starting to go through withdrawl (this is based on a spoiler from Paul McGillion when he was featured in an article about a day in the life of a SG actor AKA piece 2). The Daedalus will be sent to deal with the situation - cover up tha truth about Atlantis by any means necessary - cue Caldwell acting the baddie, willing to eliminate Sheps team to keep the secret and possibly gain control of the Atlantis military. McKay will want to go but get violent when he is refused - he'll spend the rest of the episode in Detox. What happens to him will also help Beckett create a treatment for Teyla and Dex.

From Martin Gero - The "Hive" will feature a massive space battle (AKA piece 3). This I think will be between the Hive and the Daedalus. The Daedalus won't be able to defeat the Hive though (I have determined this using my super logic powers - if the Daedalus can defeat a hive then it hunting down the hives one at a time becomes a viable option - this would mean that Shep and co. couldn't save the day . plus the Daedalus has $hitty weapons ) so it'll be up to Teyla and Dex to escape in the chaos created by the attack and sabotage the ship. Possibly they'll destroy the teleport blocker - allowing the Daedalus to beam them out and nukes in.

What'll happen to Ford I don't know - either he'll escape again and have an uncertain fate (like "Runner") or sacrifice himself to save everyone

So quick synopsis
*Queeny tries to pump Shep for information by taking the form of a little girl
* McKay escapes on his own but is about to be recaptured when he runs into Lorne
*The Daedalus sets off to "deal with the security leak" meanwhile McKay goes through withdrawl
* Daedalus arrives and fight begins - Daedalus isn't having much luck
* Teyla, Dex and other supersoldiers escape and sabotage the ship
* Daedalus Beams them out and the day is saved

Sounds good to me. And yes little girls that want information from you are usually a bad sign.

[Stevo]

i guess that sums it up

[Qasim]

I hope they wrap up the Ford storyline

[SnoggingPicard]

The little girl theory sounds good -- you never trust those kids in science fiction, it's the first lesson they teach you for cryin' out loud! I'm curious to find out whether the Wraith discover a) That Atlantis is still around and b) Who Teyla is. I'd think that if they find out who she is they'd want to eliminate her as quickly as possible given what she's done to the fleet. Hopefully Shep will be close-lipped/minded when it comes to the kid.

I didn't think of the little girl angle, but everything else seems a pretty straight forward to me.

I also wondered if Teyla might be able to use her Wraith Psychic powers to either confuse the wraith into releasing them, or save Sheppard.

Also, why isn't Sheppard wondering why he's not returned to his team? Clearly the wraith are messing with his mind. Also, I know wraith try to make people see what's not there, but I thought it was more splashes of light, not actual images individuals.

I think Sheppard was studying how Teyla and Ronan react to the enzyme, and at this point they haven't done anything too horrific, like threaten the life of a patient. It's my opinioin if Ford survives this and escapes, Sheppard will reluctantly come to the conclusion that Ford must be shot on site.

While Ford has shown absolutely no loyalty to his former team, Teyla and Ronan still show that basic loyalty.

If that dirty look Ford gave Sheppard in Seige 2 is any indication, Ford may not have been too loyal to start with.

I was thinking about the side effects of the Wraith drug.
Could the lost boys mutate into the Wraith?

Interesting how the Wraith feeds on them and they feed on the Wraith.

Spoiler:

That would be very cool if that happened but it says on the PG site that the girl is really a young woman and she is a wraith worshipper sent by the queen to get info about earth from Shep.

Well seems I was wrong about that, but the old adage stands, in science fiction don't trust strange young women who want to know all about you and may or may not have creepy accents

[Giantevilhead]

I hope we get to see Hermiod again.

[RalCaladan]

I don't think they get anything out of Shep, because the plot of "Critical Mass" is that

Spoiler:

a traitor in Atlantis has alerted the Wraith and planted a bomb

[Qasim]

Spoiler:

wraith worshipper

WTF?

When the Wraith inevitably find out Atlantis is still around its going to be at the beginning or end of a season - that kind of development is too big for a med season 2 parter

[Dr Weir]

WTF?

Spoiler:

I know!!!! They must be severely brainwashed!!! I wonder what their rituals involve and what they see the wraith as?

Hopefully SGA isnt going to go that way
