Are the new enemies a species of Wraith?

[PG15]

They think the city should be rightfully theirs?

Hey, it's an idea.

[DaMulta]

Those bad guys reminded me of the Borg from star trek....

[DaMulta]

I changed my mind. I think these new guys are what the Wraith will eventually become. They are going to have to adapt and change themselves because their food supply is dwindling and biting back.

so the Wraith are probably going to start taking either Atlantian, earth or replicator tech and using bits of it to make themselves into Cyborgs. It was the only way they could alter their bodies to get themselves off the human feeding.

The Wraith can still eat regular food like us, but they chose not to do that. I don't know if they are really required to eat people, or maybe that they eat people because it gives them strength and a extended life that they don't get from regular food.

The can still ingest regular food, yes, but it does not sustain them when they are adults (cf. "Instinct").

If they had a choice, even an unpleasant (for them) one, annihilating/poisoning humans wouldn't be such a threat to them.

As Laura Dove said, the Wraith are capable of eating regular food and drink like Human's and do so in childhood but when they become adults, it does not fulfil them. They have an overriding sense of hunger that eat's at them all the time.

[YutheGreat]

And they would be attacking Atlantis, why?

It is as PG15 said.

Besides some of the Ancients decendants have always been attacking Atlantis.
1. The Asurans.
2. The Genii
3. The Tria crew

The city was lost to them and now they want it back

[Zelda fan]

it's the furlings

[The Spanish Guy]

The Furlings, lol.

What we know now:
they have "conventional looking" ships and fighters. Ie, not organic-look like the Wraith, so they are more "normal".
They use energy pulse weapons. Remember Ronon testing the handgun or Mckay hurt, no stunner in there, ouch.

They do use the same tactics of massive bolts of energy from their ships to bombard, small fighters, al?* darts.
They are also strong, remember the helluva shots they widstand before going down.
They look technological, remember that red thing on their heads, some kind of comm-union link between them.
They like "propaganda", their symbol is stamped everywhere on them.
¿We will see them again? Maybe. Or maybe were created only for this episode.
In the end: They can potentionally be another annoying enemy, if they exist in "our" dimension too, time will tell.

Thus they will need to cybernetically enhance their bodies to move away from that in order to survive.

At least I hope so!!

[tricky]

It would be cool to see them again; alot of the "throw away" races seem to have a lot of potential (Reol, Reetoo (sp?), Foothold aliens all come to mind), but until some writer decides to bring them back (like the robot SG-1 duplicates), they are forgotten.

IF they use them again, I hope they are as original as possible: if they are cyborgs, then don't have them try to 'assimilate' or 'upgrade' everyone they meet; maybe stray away from the traditional SG badguy scheme and just have these guys, no 'more human' guys (System Lord, Wraith officer) that will actually be the guy in charge (yes, I know it will be hard to find big hulking guys to play the part); don't have them be someone's 'mistake', someone above listed all the 'mistakes' we've had seen in SG; and please give us at least one 'Face' enemy, it took forever for the Wraith to get their 'face' (Todd ), the Goa'uld had tons of them, the Genni, the Assurans and even the Replicators had them: Give us a guy to hate (or love/hate).

By the way, thinking of my above comment, about the Asgard possibly becomeing the hulking guys; remember the ep were the Asgard had found an earlier version of their species? Anyone remember what that guy looked like?

I'm just thinking outloud now.....

[YutheGreat]

The Asgards appeared more humanish. Humanoid isn't really a right description cause they were always humanoid.

These guys have culture. Just from the logo they have a flag etc. So it is unlikely they are someone's recent mistake.

Have we ever seen the Asgard flag? are they simillar.

[tricky]

Well, the Assurans and the Wraith aren't recent mistakes either; these guys could be the Ancients FIRST project, which would make them several thousand years old.

And that logo could just be a brand name/symbol, like the one on your computer "Now available from the Warrior Superstore: The Berserker MDK! Want to break your enemies will, terrify prisoners and conquer your home system? Then Berserker MDK is YOUR answer! Bio-enhanced physique, cyber control brainlock, and extensive combot training makes each unit a walking engine of death! Add to that training on Marauder class fighters and Dreadnaught battleships and you get a fighting force to conquer ANY galaxy.

find your local WS in the Pegasas galaxy red pages, under munitions dealers!"

[prion]

Hmm, the aliens look like Cardassians (STS9) on steroids with a smattering of Borg tossed in (that blinking red thing on their head)...

Haha nice one and also like the Marauder name for the fighters, going to have to remember that one

[MechaThor]

Althought I like this Idea, I would rather them be a separate entity to both the Ancients/Humans and the Wrath.

They did look rather, wraith. But like you said have a very different looking Technology. Personally I like to think of them as a new species which came in possibly from another galaxy, taking advantage of the void left by the weaken Wraith. Also a possible foreshadowing to their emergence latter in the series.

I don't see why every new alien has be some kind of Ancient mistake. Its very possible that they evolved on their own just like Humans and Goa'uld.
