"The Kindred" Pre-Airing Discussion and Speculation (Spoilers)

[Mitchell82]

Ah Sateda. Good times, good times.

I showed the scene from Sateda where McKay gets hit with arrow and cries, "That did not just happen!!" to a Korean immigrant who barely speaks English and doesn't watch scifi. She started cracking up laughing. I don't know, but I just think it's cool that humor is a universal language, ya know?

Indeed.

[Mitchell82]

Ditto. Eager to find out how Michael is tied into this.

Ancient lab----->Exploding tumours----->Carson Braveheart performs surgery on one of the patients------>Tumour goes bang in the container------>Carson pushes daisies.



....and Michael comes into play, where?

I know it's hard to place as there really isnt a flashing sign saying "Carson's Return Clue Here". So it could be in First Strike too. Really confused on just what the clue is.

Okay, I'm going to post the best theory I've heard so far and see if it answers any of your questions. It certinally answered mine.

The Asurans fuse their technology with the organic Wraith technology that Michael provides. RepliCarson is born, complete with all the functions of a real human, and a secret sub-space transmitter which will broadcast continuously once activated.

.:Flash forward to The Return, Part Two: At some point during the retaking of Atlantis, Carson and his replicator clone are switched after Carson's memories and brain activity are copied and implanted into the replicator. They are now practically indistinguishable. RepliCarson has no idea that he is not human, and is "woken up" back where he was before he was taken. He has no memory of his "birth." Carson, incapacitated, is secreted back to the Asuran homeworld, Michael in tow, and is imprisoned there.

.:As the Earth-built weapons platform Horizon is bombarding the Asuran homeworld, Carson is probably 'gated to another planet for safekeeping.

.:I'm thinking that they'll discover Carson either: a] imprisoned aboard an Asuran ship once they catch up with Atlantis for their retribution and the 'final battle' is taking place, or b] completely alone and in need of therapy after escaping to another planet, trying and failing to dial the now-spaceborne Atlantis, and having to make his own way whilst avoiding his enemies.

See? What did I tell you? It explains everything
