Is there no question that the Wraith are indeed the race that defeated the Ancients in the Pegasus galaxy? While there was a good deal of allusion to this, it was never clearly stated. I'll admit that a lot of what was revealed in the Ancient hologram recording parallel's the stardard Wraith MO, but it just doesn't seem to fit in my opinion.
I would think that a race that rivals the Ancients in technology and evolution would be incontestable to a race as unevolved as 21st century humans. If this battle for the galaxy indeed occurred million of years ago, it should be safe to assume that the Wraith would have progressed even futher. I can't believe they are content to feed off humans for this amount of time without advancing their civilization. After all, they couldn't have defeated the ancients by being a stagnant race of simple predators.
I guess I'm just expecting too much for a TV show, but I felt that the producers developed the Goa'uld believably and expect the same for Atlantis. Maybe a million years is just too large of a timespan to comprehend.
