better villains.

[fibes]

common please say these vampire lookin things are what beat the ancients...hopfully these are just jaffa like slaves or somthing
glad new series is coming out..disapointed they couldnt come up with somthing more unique, looks like that one is the video is wearing rags for clothing...real advanced huh..someone tell me otherwise though

[David85]

Why do the Wraith need to be advance? Think of it as terrorist vs the USA, we have the best tech, but it doesn't matter when you are up against crazy asses.

[GhostPoet]

Personally..next to the G'oald <sp?> They sound like the most interesting villians so far.

That and I think i'm really going to enjoy the humans who hate us for waking up the Wraiths

[Lord Loz]

So, Advanced, in your eyes = better fashion than us?

Maybe theyre so advanced that their civilization has realised spending x million hours and all the currency is in fact pointless when the bare essentials are enough

Then they have all the extra time to devise new ways of killing you

[Jeff O'Connor]

They seem pretty impressive to me.

[ShadowMaat]

I think they look ridiculous and they sound like cheap vampires by way of the movie Lifeforce. Hopefully looks and impressions can be deceiving. I want the A Team to come up against a truly terrifying, incomprehensible nightmare of an undefeatable enemy.

Personally I'm really sick of the Goa'uld, who don't frighten me in the least. I think the Wraith sound pretty neat and menacing.I just hoped they're executed well.

[Anubis]

It would be great if there was a villian that could not at all be defeated, not even with powers of the Ancients or any other race. It would be interesting to see how it would turn out


At first, I though Anubis would be that person, but then I watched Lost City

[TST]

I like the whole idea of the Wraith, but I have to admit the one in the trailer disappointed me a bit. It looks too human for an evil, impersonal type of enemy.
Still, if we don't see them too often it probably won't be too bad.

[ShadowMaat]

I hope the Wraith make an appearance in the pilot and then aren't seen again. Ever. The more I see of them- pics, commercials, etc- the more cheesy they look. Maybe if they concentrate on the Wraith's evilness and leave the Wraith themselves out of the picture, it'll be OK.

[Anubis]

I don't think we'll be seeing loads of Wraith. I ahve to agree, they do look very strange. I guess we'll have to find out

If they looked impersonal...they wouldn't have a good effect on us. Keeping them close to human in appearance helps us relate to them easier on a subconscience level. Completely ALIEN appearances typically have little effect on us.

They don't have to look completely alien, but just inhuman, perhaps like more insectoid or something, except that's a bit cliched...

And there goes any vestige of a possibility of me ever taking Atlantis seriously.

...to come up against a truly terrifying, incomprehensible nightmare of an undefeatable enemy.

Here, here; if you're going to have evil, implacable, life-sucking enemies, have them be some kind of shimmer in the air or moving shadow. Think how much scarier the Shadows in B5 were when we couldn't see them; we just had some inkling they were there.

Then again B5 is the best sci-fi show ever.
