The news that we will watch our Wraith in many episodes excited me. Although I am not Sam's fan. If only M&M had decided to ship CG Wraith with Weir....

Going by the way Wraith are treated on the show I suspect they'll all be dead at the end of the story.

Spoiler:

There are seven hive ships joining Atlantis against a common enemy. I'm guessing that these hive ships are going to be there for the common enemy to blow up in a big space battle just so the Atlantis base/ships can survive. "We need some cannon fodder." "Let's bring in a few Wraith allies." Yes, I'm being cynical here.

Spoiler:

The Wraith explains that not all of the hives agreed to the plan and that some of them don’t have queens to create new soldiers should any of them be lost.

I wonder if we'll be told how Queens create new soldiers or whether it will just be a vague passing reference like the information about Keepers in 'Allies'. Going by 'Instinct' Wraith don't just hatch out of eggs as adults or grow up within a couple of weeks. On the other hand, maybe Wraith babies normally do grow up in a couple of weeks because the Queens provide some miracle ingredient which is mixed with ordinary food. Ellia didn't get this special ingredient so she had to reach adolescence the boring, human way.

The 'Stargate Solutions' article does indicate that the 'Wraith King' in 'Sateda' really was leading a hive, though.

[jesserella]

lol, i never loose time, no matter how smashed i am, sorry i don't comment muc here any more but i'm trying to remain spoiler free

[female Wraith]

The new spoilers are amazing. I wonder why there are hives without queens? May be the queens give birth to female after reaching a certain age or there is a sickness??

I've been lurking on these forums for a while so thought it time I signed up and joined the Wraith Defenders Club because I find them the most interesting aliens in the Stargate universe. I don't see them as evil just because they evolved to feed on humans. Yes, they do have cruel and violent aspects but they'd have got these from their human side, not the Iratus bugs.Their general attitude towards our own species is no different to the Atlantis personnel's attitude towards mice. (Remember the two fried lab mice in Duet? ) I hate the way that Wraith tend to be treated in the series. They were introduced as supposedly formidable aliens and then they were just captured, blown up, shot and/or victims of experiments on a regular basis.

The best male Wraiths for me were Steve and his lookalikes from Seasons 1 and 2 although I do have a soft spot for the Wraith King (or whatever he was) in Sateda. I just loved the way he sent Ronon flying with one sweep of his arm - it was such a refreshing change after interminable scenes of Ronon killing Wraith in slow motion Matrix style. The marooned Wraith in The Defiant One took an entire episode to dispose of so why do most members of the species turn into useless wimps whenever Ronon appears on the scene?

My favourite Wraith (for somewhat frivolous reasons) are -

1) Steve - for sheer drop dead gorgeousness in 19th Century Gothic novel style. (It's a shame he dropped dead so soon in the series.) No matter what happened to him his hair was always immaculate. Did he have a comb with him and pass his time in the cell grooming? If he'd told me that my destiny was to be his lunch I'd have found it a far more appealing prospect than being run over by a bus.

2) The scientist from Allies - drop dead gorgeous, elegant and intelligent otherwise he wouldn't have been a scientist. (Great combination of attributes in a humanoid male alien.) We didn't actually see him get killed but there's no way that he and his unique Wraith jacket could have survived events.

3) The Queen from Allies - the Wraith version of Parisian chic. Would have made a great recurring female opponent but she got disposed of as usual.

4) The pink haired commander from Condemned (who I gather has been given the unofficial name of Shawn) - drop dead gorgeous with great style and elegance (although I got the impression that he dribbled over the Magistrate at one point). Not only did he survive the story but he did it without getting shot, put in a cage/cell or being subjected to an experiment which makes him very special indeed. We'll never see him again but it's nice to know he's still out there somewhere. I hope he managed to keep the new chef alive so he can continue to enjoy the finer things in Wraith life.

Favourite Wraith for less frivolous reasons.

1) Steve - we learned that Wraith, too, can suffer distress and pain.

2) The scientist. We learned that not all Wraith males are military style guards/officers.

3) The Queen. We learned that Wraith are capable of coming up with complex, sneaky plans.

4) The commander from Condemned. Interesting to see a Wraith interacting with a human who wasn't a member of the Atlantis expedition. We also learned that Wraith are capable of enjoying something a little more refined than chasing humans around. Does this mean they might be capable of producing some kind of art/poetry/music? Their elaborate clothing and/or hairstyles suggest some kind of artistic leanings.

At the other end of my personal Wraith rating scale is Michael although I know he's very popular with many Atlantis fans. Where did he get his accent from in the episode, 'Michael'? I wouldn't have minded if it had been established that he'd had to learn to talk again and he'd been coached by an Atlantis team member with the same accent. As it was it just appeared from nowhere because none of the main human Atlantis characters talked/talks like that. I ended up with a bizarre mental image of a hive ship where everyone sounds like Trip Tucker. (Oh, well - there was a Jaffa warrior with a broad London accent. Maybe he came from the planet Walford.) Why hasn't Michael's hair grown again? Is this a side effect of the retrovirus? Yes, I feel sorry for him but I wish he hadn't been turned into a mad scientist breeding giant cockroaches which Ronon can dispose of with little effort. (As super warriors they are way inferior to the Sateda King who seemed to be disposing of Ronon with little effort.)

I like the long posts Welcome

I like the long posts Welcome

I also bid you welcome!
The Wraith are indeed very artistic, and refined. In their own gracious way.
They are beings who are allsided. Intuitive, strong, spiritual, smart and yes...very creative...Other living creatures can learn a lot from the Wraith.

I am so fed up that Atlantis isn´t shown here. I hear all the people talking about the blogs and what is coming up next on the series. And youtube is being dead in that too because of those stupid claims. It is perfectly marking this human world. It´s all about the God d a m n money!
Makes me already more cranky then I already was. A Wraith...who isn´t allowed to see Wraith. It is highly obnoxious ....

I do not know Female Wraith. Perhaps these Hives are led by maleleaders instead. Just as a temporary solution. A Hive without a queen. Somehow it simply scares the hell out of me...What would those Wraithmales think and feel about that. Guess there is a shortage of female Wraith none the less anyway. I feel sincerely so sorry for them! Where can I apply?

lol, back in a stargate rp in the style of a soap, susie got turned into a wraith and became a queen. was V funny, back on topic, i never really thought about michaels accent, i love that accent by the way, makes me melt lol but now that youve pointed it out it is a bit odd
