Originally posted by Solla View PostThe wolves are rather good parents, by the way. Both parents share in the task of raising their cubs. What is more, their adult offsprings or subordinate members take as much care of them as their parents do. All the wolves bring food from the hunt, play with cubs, guard them from danger and even teach them howling

Originally posted by Wraith Cake View PostAhhh! This would account for, given this line of reasoning, the other adult wraith taking care of the young. I like this idea. If it was a personal blow for Todd to lose his queen in the skies above Atlantis, this would account for his growl when Rodney asked him whether he had family in Miller's Crossing. He does conceal his feelings well, except of course for admiration. He seems to admire both Tayla and Shepard.

Originally posted by Solla View PostPerhaps, we make a mistake assuming that they are extra cruel OR secretly tender souls . They are many-sided and complex creatures with a wide spectrum of emotions and feelings like any other sentient beings in this Universe. We are capable of anger and compassion at the same time, we cruelly hurt each other, use other people and show selflessness, etc. I do believe they are not so different from us
Good point!
I think it's the manifestation of their humanity, when they are vicious and have virtue.
Todd will kill without hesitation; he will also keep his word and repay a debt he feels he owes.
Insects do not have the consciousness to understand what it feels like to have a sense of debt toward another, different creature.

Originally posted by leksa View PostYes, but what is interesting, we people are not so effective in that. And one would think that more intelligent the creature the more care will be given to the overall population benefit.
Yes, yes. Sorry, I did not saw it like that at first. The keeping the undeveloped embryos in her until there are suitable conditions for the offspring development would be quite effective method of the birth-control.
What troubles me with that is how that kind of the mechanism developed. If we assume that the Wraith evolved naturally as the specie, nature would pick system more simple to control than that.
I never thought about the hibernation and what does it do to the Wraith. I know that we cannot hibernate because we would loose too much of the bone mass. You see, I somehow disregarded the hibernation as just another way to make the Wraith more similar to vampires.sigpic

It was Michael who said that bit about being not so different, wasn't he? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Originally posted by leksa View PostThat sounds plausible.
What I would suggest is that the Wraith libido is much lower that ours. They live really, really long, so there is no need even for the annual mating period. Otherwise they would increase their numbers too quickly over sustainable level. Actually, as the show suggested they already there. So perhaps they introduced some kind of the "birth-control" before the Earthlings appeared in the Pegasus. Perhaps that can explain low number of the females....
Most non-human creatures in the animal Kingdom do not define their identity this way. Hence, it matters not to my little kitties whether Sasha is humping a female cat, a chair leg, my leg or his brother Schatner--any port in the storm will do.

Too bad the show is over and there is no actually chance for something like that happening....

Originally posted by Sevenofnine View PostI have often wondered why the wraith in Instinct, never came and took Elia away from her adopted human father, he would have sensed her, I would've imagined that he would come and get so he could raise her himself with wraith values instead of letting a human raise her. This has always puzzled me, especially since she would have been in his care aboard the ship that crashed. Unless he was young himself and didn't want to take that responsibility?
Just a few thoughts.

Originally posted by Replicator Fifth View PostIts all good. thanks, it was late and I didn't notice such a grave error. I LOVE wolves too. I meant that "their not infertile". again, it was late.
Of course, of course. I am often crossed eyed and posting late (like now) and should probably go to bed. But the conversations are often just too good to not read!

Originally posted by Mariellelita View PostLeksa....what do you mean that we would "lose" bone mass by hibernating?
We are not equipped to sustain the long periods without the gravity. Without the pressure on our bones the calcium from them is slowly dissolved by own our body.
That happens to the astronauts who are in space for prolonged period. That happened to the test subjects who volunteer to lay in bed for months. And that would happen to the human body if it would be actually introduced into something like hibernation. Right now scientist trying to figure out how to combat this bone matter loss in space. Simply because the human mission on the Mars depends on it. If we just send astronauts there now, their lost of the bone would be so severe that it might cause break of the bones when they attempt to lend on the Mars.
The hibernation is considered as a one of the valuable option for the interstellar travel, since it would took us around 40 years to reach the star closest to our Sun (Proxima Centauri). And there are research in that field too. I'm not sure did they started any testing on human subjects, or they still do experiments only on animals.
I hope I made this clear, if you have some more questions, just ask.42
