    How long do Wraith live?

    In the pilot Dr. Becket said after testing the Wraith arm Shep brought back that a being like this could live indefinately. Is that true? How long to Wraith live for? Longer than Goauld? Can tehy just live forever as long as they keep sucking out life forces? Could some of the Wraith around now be the same ones that interacted with the original Ancients?

    I'd imagine they would live a pretty darn long time, if not forever as long as they have a prominent food source and don't get blown up or killed somehow.

      As far as we know, yes it is true. We haven't learned much more about the Wraith, and I tend to believe Dr. Beckett

        the Keeper in "Rising" recognized the Atlantean tricorder right away, so either they have a really good record keeping and history dept, or perhaps she is that old....

          if their cells can be met to their needs, like mentioned in the pilot episode, then why couldn't they live for as long as they have a steady food source. And considering that the one keeper, From the pilot episode, recognized the anicient hand device may indicate that he once did battle with them.

            Yeah, living virtually forever must really suck. Wouldn't life get kinda boring after a while?

              Not if you have no concept of old age and a space ship that can travel around the galaxy.

                  Beckett also said they'd be bloody hard to kill, but Shep found the achilles heel..or abdomen rather.

                  Beckett does know his stuff, that was such a cool scene where he is explainign what he found out about the arm to Weir.

                    Most of the time they hibernate. That's what I think is boring. What gives eternal life when u have to hibernate most of it because there isn't enough food. Then it's better to get killed.

                      Indeed. Ya know, for a race that lives that long, they don't seem all that bright.

                        When you live forever it is very easy to become complacent.

                          By complacent, I think you mean bored.

                            well that too. But you said they arent bright...well yeah, when you would live forever it would be easy to kinda lull and stay static.
