That it will be gross?

[The_Carpenter]

Maybe something to do with....

Spoiler:

Michael's bug army..

Or Teyla's baby but thankfully that option is getting more and more unlikely

[ciannwn]

Spoiler:

It will show that Wraith don't reproduce in the human/mammalian fashion?

My guess is

Spoiler:

That Wraith birth in cacoons similar to the Irratus bug and Michales gigantic alien bugs.

Spoiler:

I think it will be along those lines too. They are evolved from insects after all. The question, of course, is do the Queens lay eggs or do they somehow manufacture new Wraith from Iratus bugs?

Hmm good question I just hope they don't show a queen make one.

Gross it will be.

Gross it will be.

Hmm, I dunno. On JM's blog a while back, there was a pic labeled "wraith ultrasound". It was pretty gross looking. Unless they whipped it up special for Teyla (which is a distinct possiblity if Mikey's involved) my guess would be that they do.

Spoiler:

I tried doing a search for it. Couldn't find the pic but the blog entries seem to be talking about it being used on Teyla. There's various reasons why Wraith could have developed such a piece of technology -

1: We know from Ellia that at least one female Wraith went through a child stage. Maybe females are born in the human sort of way and males aren't.

2: Even if most Wraith come from cocoons it might still be useful to have basic ultrasound technology which can be adapted for monitoring non-Wraith if necessary.

The problem with Wraith reproducing in the human way, though, is that we've just been shown a few Queens and thousands of males. How could they have bred so fast during the war with the Ancients unless there are thousands of other females we've never seen?

Which does seem to indicate that maybey the Wraith queens are egg layers.
