For those of you read the info on the first couple of Episodes of Season 3 (that has presented here on Gateworld), This New Alien can fit in nicely with... Read on...
(*EDIT*: I thought it would be a spoiler - I may have made an error in stating that is was in the Subject heading)
I think that the Alien Race, that is to be introduced (*EDIT* - So the New Enemy Introduced is the Asurans - And they were created by the the Ancients. So ruling the Asurans out... But I choose to keep the script as I orignally posted because - well that is how it was at first) in Season 3, may have played a role in the Development of the Wraith. Cloning them to produce them in Significant numbers to drastically reduce the amount of sentient beings present in PG - if not destroy all life in the PG. Providing the Technology required for Interstellar Travel and weaponry. Afterall, this 'new' Alien Race had (supposedly) created the HZ Virus. Maybe this New Alien Race was conducting an experiment (making the HZ Virus another Experiment) - Find new means for Destruction and then creating Counter Measures...
The Wraith are said to Descendants of the ancients. However, it was because of the Numbers (that the wraith had) that defeated the the Lantians. The Lantians were at war with the Wraith for (approximately) a century? Even the Hive's Queen in Ep 220 stated the "technology of the City was far more powerful than that of the wraith". But, the Wraith are Descendants of the Ancients - shouldn't they be able to create technology that matched up evenly with that of the Ancients? They came close - but not setting a perfect match. Shouldn't the war have been a stalemate?
Of course the Wraith, being a new Species (in PG), would have needed more time to get up to speed (and the level) that the lantians were... But they came close... Why did they (only) come so close?
With so many mouths to feed, why did it take so long for the Lantians to Discover the Species? Why did the War start - just over 10,000 years?
Yes, the Wraith were in more Numbers. How did they manage to grow to such numbers? Why do so many of the wraith appear to be drone-like? The Hierarchy of the Wraith seems to be limited. Yes, there are those who do indicate that they are Intelligent Beings - Hive Queen, Scientists... But there seems to be many that simply take orders. The First numbers of Wraith, would have originated from Ancients - that the Eratus (sp) Bug fed off of. That number of Ancients (Who fell victim to this) should be smaller than the Number Ancients who did not fall victim to the bug. It is an assumption. But my logic is that the Ancients, being as brilliant as they were, would not be lacking the intelligence to realize that it is best to not get in contact with the bug. Was there was a mass-Cloning procedure (To increase the numbers)?
How did the Wraith Acquire their Ships? In Ep 220:
McKAY: The organic base of a lot of your technology – it's, uh, it's quite amazing. Very, um, resilient.
WRAITH: Many of the problems we encounter eventually heal themselves, yes, but there are smaller, more complex issues.
McKAY: Ah. Such as the programming code to make your old ships do new things?
WRAITH: Or bypassing inoperable systems, yes. It has been so long since we have fought a *real* battle.
Shouldn't there be at least one Wraith, on board Each Ship, that knows the ship inside-out? Why is this not the case? Why do they (Wraith) Need Help? It can be argued that there were centralized locations for various activities - including ship building and repairs (in which case, where are these locations?).
Why do the Wraith appear to Be Nomadic? There has not been any mention of any Wraith Facilities (again, like shipyards). They Originated from Somewhere - but where exactly? Where is the homeworld?
This is what I can come up with - because the Wraith do not seem 'that intelligent' to really have been a threat against the Ancients/Lantians. All they had were some Muscle and a Lot of Numbers
Your thoughts?
(Forgive me if the coherence is iffy, at best. I was thinking about this during a study break - and thought it best to get the idea out right now... lol)
