Wraith Defenders Club

[Starry Waters]

EATG spoilers.

Spoiler:

I liked Todd and Sheppard's interaction. I think Todd was kind of amused through it all and has come to be expectant of Sheppard's attitude by now and doesn't anticipate a warm welcome when dealing with the Lanteans. In the end, he gave them the upperhand once again and saw no gratitude in return. What's new?

At least Todd survived (hopefully), which is more than can be said for 99% of other wraith characters. And there's the possibility of him in the movie.

Spoiler:

I think Todd is always amused with humans. He always seems to call their bluff to kill him and even taunts them with it. I am about ready to hang Shep for his really rotten treatment of Todd though. He needs to get over it already.

Todd better be in the movie after leaving him stuck there on Earth. I don't want to see any more plastic cages either.

I quickly went to Mallozzi's website and posted my questions for EatG's writer and producer, Paul Mullie:

Hi Joe,
I have five very important questions for Mr. Paul Mullie:

No.1. Why did you write Sheppard as being so horrible to Todd in Enemy at the Gate?

Todd doesn’t deserve it at all, he has suffered in many ways: frequent loss of his own hive ships, nearly dying from radical treatment, so he could stop feeding on humans and even changing into stupid clothes (why a black T-shirt underneath? that was cruel to us)
He has saved their lives (Infection), helped in the war against the Replicators and has just handed them the ZPM’s to save Earth!
I expected a little hostility between them, but Shep went too far. Like the line “To be honest, I didn’t think you were going to live!”
Just as well Todd’s above all of Shep’s hot air and didn’t react to any of it.

No.2. WHY did you not show us so much as a glance of Todd’s feeding hand. We want to know if he was restored fully by the bug or just partially?
Please tell us, does Todd have a feeding hand in EatG??

No.3. Thankyou for leaving Todd’s story unended because I’ve been praying for him to be in the SGA movie. This is now a strong possibility! Right???!!!

No.4. When Sheppard called Todd “Todd” at the beginning, did Todd not hear him? Or if he already knew, are there deleted scenes somewhere that show him first finding out what Shep named him? Can we please have this and lots of other yummy “Todd” deleted scenes on the Season 5 release? and can the release also please be available on Blu-ray??? (For the UK-Aus market as well as the US)

No.5. Can you please scrap SGU and make SGW instead?
StarGate Wraith! We would love that, but Christopher Heyerdahl has to be in it, as Todd.

Thanks heaps,
TW

thats telling him.

[LiquidSky]

I have not seen EAtG yet but, I have read some of the spoilers and, there is more questions than answers. Me thinks that TPTB want us to BUY the DVDs ..fooling us into thinking we will have the answers. And what about Todd? Will we know what has happen to him when these DVD's come into our possession only to be disappointed. Time will tell

Todd and Shep, "Shodd", in EatG.

Spoiler:

God I love Todd.

The act where Todd had crashed his Dart and Shep remarked on his flying skills. It was easy to picture Todd as the wise battle-hardened adult snapping back at the "young whippersnapper" Shep to watch his mouth

Todd and Shep in Atlantis. Todd just happens to have taken more ZPMs a while back than he may have let on, an easy mistake to make. Classic Todd behaviour.

Todd and Shep in Atlantis. Shep telling Todd he might want to attack out of spite, Todd responding "You...know how to talk to me Johhnnn Sheppard ohahahAHAHAHA". It looked like Todd was instead about to say "You... damn son-of-a-$%#*@!!" or there abouts. Oh, the fact that Shep knew something that made Todd tick.

Finally, Shep. For all Shep's threats to knock off Todd, in this episode and others, he'd ever do it. Shep has exhibited outright hate, anger and disrespect to Todd, yet he still deals with him. C'mon, I think Shep still has a plcae in his heart for Todd's help escaping the Genii.

Todd does act like he think's Shep is a child sometimes, I think. Maybe Shep is such a b****** to Todd cause Todd reminds him of his father somehow? I'd have to think about it a bit, but Todd definitely hits some kind of nerve in Shep - he's attracted and repelled at the same time.

JM did say Todd knows his human name so it looks as if we will never know his initial reaction to it.

I always thought that Todd does already know his human name and that he's treating it with the contempt it deserves by simply ignoring it (of course, maybe he likes it... perhaps there's a good reason why Wraith don't reveal their names!!! )

I haven't seen EatG yet (Tues for us in the UK) but I'm not sure I want to now!!!
I think I'll stick with my own fanfic version of Todd's story thank you very much, it has a much better ending - and Todd will definitely be in the sequel! (when I get round to writing it that is!)

When you do get to see it, make sure you're securely restrained. Get someone to tie you to the chair. This will avoid the damage you'll otherwise do to your TV set trying to throttle the life out of a certain someone

Yep, I was bad enough with Infection - when Shep said he didn't owe Todd anything, I was bouncing up and down on the sofa shouting "You bloody-well DO!!!!" Hubby just shook his head and carried on reading the paper!

I think that's part of why I write fanfic - somebody has to show TPTB how it should be done!!!

Vegas

Spoiler:

I just had another look. It's dark and hard to see but the pillow on the right side of the bed has definitely been moved, it's sideways, the sheets on the left side of the bed (closest to the camera) are made but messy.
I'd say yes he does but on the right side of the bed.

eatg

Spoiler:

There is one scene, where he's talking to Woolsey, where you can see his feeding hand but his thumb is in the way! That's why I've asked Paul Mullie if he can confirm it....I wanna know!!

that's annoying!! Paul M. better answer!

[keeperofthehive]

What kind of ending was that?????

Spoiler:

I use to like Shep, but I'm getting to where I just want to hang him. So what happens to Todd????? I thought this wasn't supposed to be a cliffhanger!!!

HiveShip Extraordinaire!

Spoiler:

The idea of that super-hive was just hugely appealing! (Somebody said it was like a hive on miracle-grow.). It just bothered me that the hive was so empty. Shouldn't this newest achievement in Wraith technology be bustling with soldiers and scientists and pilots and commanders busy making preparations? If they are seen mostly from their sides and backs, or from a distance, say preparing allthose darts in the dart bay, they won't all have to be made up. Also, i was hoping to see a Queen directing it all, or at least gloating with anticipation, probably Ruby, since they already had the dress and wig. (Don't know if the prosthetics are reusable.) Those of you objecting with cost, remember; this is the Grand Finale, and promo to movies.
Showing the team finding and watching such a scene would have underscored the danger to Earth. (Like in "Letters to Pegasus" where Sheppard and Teyla are in the cloaked puddle-jumper,awe-struck as they see see the military might of the approaching hiveships and their escorts.) The fact that they left immediately when the signal arrived implies that all needed personnel were already on board.
I've seen this in a number of other movies/shows too, where lack of enough extras prevented an excellent scene's intended impact.

As for Gabriel/Todd:

Spoiler:

He is clever, fearless, and loves to be fueled by huge challenges! He cannot gate back to Pegasus, so before he starves he will have to
1. Convince Woolsey (directly or indirectly) to return the city to Pegasus. OR
2. Convince Woolsey to send him back on one of the ships when they are repaired. OR
3. Hack into the system and find a way to use the new "wormhole-drive" to send himself back with a stolen transport.

Knowing Todd to be who he is, i would go with choice #3.

Any other ideas on how Todd might solve his dilemma?
