Obvious Net Question: Wraith vs Goa'uld

[FredH]

In the tradition of Usenet:

Wraith vs Goa'uld. Full-fledged war. Assume they're close enough to bring all their own forces to bear, but also assume no intervention by any of the other races/powers, including Earth. Who wins?

C'mon, somebody had to start it...

I think it's been started in another thread, but anyway...

I'd say, Wraith are fighting to live, i.e. eat, the Goa'uld are just egomaniacs. So far, I'd go with Wraith, but I haven't seen much of them yet to judge them.

the gos'uld fight each other ... They've the "super-soldier" wich are very very powerfull

Start a new topic at the mid-seasons of Atlantis when we,ll know more about the wraith ... because actually we've only see the "wraith glider" ... their mother ship was under the ground and the forest ... They have probably thousands of mother ship, each with douzens of wraith gliders ... !

Goa'uld can probably took over the wraith body ... it's not sure bu if one goa'uld can enter in a wraith body they can took all their knowledge of close ...

How does that work for the Goa'uld though? Doesn't the queen have to get a DNA smaple of the host first and then her offspring can take the host? That means any currently living parasite can't take a Wraith because they aren't compatabile.

I'm pretty sure if you took a ton of Kull warriors and put them up against the Wraith, the Kull warriors would kick the crap out of them.

I don't think so. In the movie it was said that Ra came to earth and discovered humans and immediately took a human boy as a host. Also, in "The Tomb" i think a Goa'uld took control of a spider-like creature.

Yeah, I know, but I thought I heard about the whole queen and host DNA thing somewhere, but the show tends to ignore or follow it at the plot's convenience. Again, though, I could be way off.

The DNA just assures compatiblity with the species for blending, and isn't necessary for the blending itself.
