wraith question

[caes4]

Ok, in the first episode it said that the pegasus galaxy was lifeless and the ancients brought life there. If there was no life, then where the hell did the wraiths come from? they wouldnt' be able to live their if there was no lifeforms for them to eat in the first place.
Also, if the ancients were so noble and wanted to bring life to a lifeless galaxy , how come the ascended ancients all of a sudden dont want anything to do with the physical world anymore? that doesnt make sense. If anything, they should want to help people even more when they have the power.

we really dont know much about the past. maybe the wraith were nearby, maybe the wraith were in stasis. who knows, maybe its just an error on the part of the producers. and the wraith can live for a really long time (even hungry), it might not be pleasant, but it's doable.
for whatever reason they dont believe in interfering with what goes on, maybe theres some underlying reason which they'll announce later.

Keep watching Atlantis and your question might be answered

Maybe my theory is correct. The ancients destroyed all life form and stole their technology. When they came to Earth, they realised that humans were not advanced at all and so seeded the galaxy with human life. They then ascended because they feared that the members of the alliance would find out and destroy them. Now they cannot be harmed

interesting theory, and we shall see what happens

Conjecture. There is zero evidence from the show to even suggest something like what you are saying could be true.

Now, if you could point to some evidence from the show to back up your idea, then you might actually have something.

Some interesting speculation regarding this went on in this thread. Also, you might want to check out this one, this one, and this one (getting a little repetitive, huh ). They introduce some good theories and are enjoyable to read.

[Sarcasm/]Because apparently when you ascend, your body dies but they compensate for that by letting your ego grow to the size of the Milky Way Galaxy [/Sarcasm]

I have another Wraith question. If they feed on humans by sucking the life out of them with their right hands, whats with the fangs? Whats with the mouth for that matter.

I believe it was 'apparently lifeless', which would presumably account for the Wraith all being asleep at the time. My theory is that whatever had lived there, the Wraith had eaten, hence the apparent lifelessness.

And the Ascended don't interfere because the temptation is too great. From what Daniel has said whilst he was glowing, they may have the power to shatter mountains and snuff out suns, but they have the same cognitive limits that they had when they were mortal. Orlin tried to interfere and inadvertantly set a race on a path to a level of tyranny that would have made the Goa'uld look like amateurs (or would have done, assuming the Goa'uld didn't do a good enough job of that themselves).

I may want - in my heart of hearts - for at least some of the Ancients to turn out to be as dodgy as all get out, but the biggest argument against this is that, once Ascended, they have to power to be as gods - not false gods, but actual honest-to-themselves gods - but they choose not to. Even Oma the Irresponsible doesn't set herself up as anything more than a Boddisatva.

[Sarcasm/]Because apparently when you ascend, your body dies but they compensate for that by letting your ego grow to the size of the Milky Way Galaxy [/Sarcasm]

I think the one thing you can't accuse the Ascended of is egoism; a certain degree of egocentrism, perhaps, but not egoism. An egotist would want to be seen and noticed and worshipped; the Ancients do not.

But are we here for hard core intellectual debate or to have a good time? I think we can all agree that the latter is the case, so there's a place for fun conjecture; but then you know I think that already.

What happens if you have a good time while in a hard core intellectual debate?
