It was nice to finally see a few Wraith with brains in the show. I have reservations though because this is part one of two and if there's anything I've learned it's that this series has a history of shooting itself in the face when it comes to wrapping up good starts like this.
Please please please guys don't just cheeseball technowank your way out of this please. I don't want Hemroid to crack the jamming signal and beam everyone home safe putting a nuke in their place instead. Let's make them work for this one and resolve it in some cool way with tricks and so forth like it was set up here. Hell let Mckay and Dex go all diehard inside the hiveship. That could be hilarious with Dex dragging him around.
Setting aside those reservations though this was a great episode, probably the best of the series so far. It was like I said earlier when I wanted a Wraith version of "coup". The show gets so much better and more exciting when the badguys aren't dumb as dog droppings.
I also really liked the scene with Michael and Dex in the hospital room.
For all the people saying how stupid it was to agree to work with the hive what would you have done in the same situation?
They already know Atlantis is there and they've threatened to transmit to every other hiveship in the galaxy about it if you start attacking them.They were backed into a corner. They had to agree to go along with the Wraith proposal even if just to buy time.
Everything initially seemed to make sense and they downloaded all the data the Wraith sent them to secure computers first before spreading it around.
They did everything that you'd expect to play it safe. They only got screwed because finally there was an instance when the Wraith actually managed to outsmart the humans in a technological way. Well fancy that. This should be the status quo, not something that gets complained about when it finally happens after 2 years of us doing it to them.
I'll post some later.
