Inconsistent.

In the right hands, the Wraith could have been more than awesome, but what we got was adequate. Pity so few have the vision, pity the studio took the easy path, and decided against real conflict - which as anyone knows, a story is dead in the water without. *seals lips but points at SGU*

So true about the alien romances too... even Dr. Who had companions. Todd would have been the perfect choice and we could have met some wraith/worshipper couples too.

In SG-1 we had the Tok'ra who showed not all Goa'uld were cruel monsters, and we had Teal'c changing sides. I soooooo waited for something like that to happen in SGA.

For all that, like you Orb, irrespective of all the flaws, the Wraith ignited my imagination like nothing else ever has, and I will always be a defender.
The siggie is all Dray's fault. I love it.sigpic

As for wraith/human pairings in general romance is probably one of those things you have to assume does happen. Atleast I assumed this anyway. They don't seem to have alot females so some probably did get close with some of the human females while on cullings or with worshippers.The worship of Talos is strictly forbidden!

Neera also got to wear Wraithy clothing in colors like Queen Mina's and had arm bracers on her sleeveless arms like Eddie.:

... and what a beautiful, romantic cell to place Neera in with John, the door looking like a stained-glass window:

This suggests consideration and care devoted to worshippers in both material resources and affection.

Janeway not getting involved in romances made sense to me. She was the captain and getting too close to crew members would have made things very difficult for her. She sometimes had to send her crew members into dangerous situations so it was better not to marry one in case there was the temptation to find excuses to keep him safe. Chakotay was also her first officer - if a romance with him went badly it could have made their working relationship awkward. It's not like he could have requested a transfer to another ship if things went pear shaped.

I'm sorry for the double post. I can't edit my posts yet XD but I also wanted to add that Shawn strikes me as someone who would enjoy their worshippers. I mean he did say he and his crew enjoyed the finer things in life. I doubt that just included wine.The worship of Talos is strictly forbidden!
