I have wondered if the second point was more out of just a general lack of...background for the Wraith in terms of culture.
And....if what tubbs says is true, then my respect for him just went up hundred-fold for this
....however, also if it is true, you must have been a very brave ah...Wraith to set foot in this thread indeed!
Ugh. Just remembered something I said when we saw those backlot pics.
Well...what can I say...if that is you Tyler, you make one fine figure of a Wraith! Hope to see more of you...I mean...more appearances of you as a Wraith, not 'more of you' as in anything untowards...
Shutting up now...
Oh, and here...just for funsies...

Muffin? Let's see I think it was a cranberry, blueberry something or other. That was on Outsiders. I'm not giving anything away - Joe wrote it on his blog.

We (or...I ) scared him away... And right when I was going to ask a serious question, too...
I really want to know if they tell the actors what those finger armor thingys are for. I was also a bit curious about his take on the feeding/gift of life process...and his approach to it. Oh well, maybe another time.

I know I said something over on Mallozzi's blog about being a willing worshipper , and in a couple other threads here. NOT sure what I said in this one, though...I hope it doesn't embarrass me...

Spoiler:But didn't the last Wraith hive ship retreat after the other two were disposed of during The Siege trilogy? I was pretty sure it happened in another early one as well, but can't remember at the moment. The Allies thing...was that a trick? I thought they were just getting McKay to do some repairs, capture him, and they got the information to modify the hyperdrives themselves via the virus/worm thing in the Atlantis computers. Was the retreat to show/prove they needed the technology to the people in Atlantis or something? I was under the impression it was genuine.
In "Allies", the "friendly" hive attacked an "enemy" hive with the help of the Daedalus, but it didn't turn well and they had to flee. After that, Rodney and Ronon went on the "friendly" hive to make repairs. The wraith scientist explained that they used to have keepers who knew everything about hive ships, but now, they needed Rodney's help to reroute circuits and such. In my mind, it was a trick and the rerouting was only meant to have Rodney adapt their hyperdrives into an evolved version -- without him understanding what was going on.
On the other hand, it's true Todd wanted to leave in "Spoils of War". But it's Todd, who knows when to break the rules.
Originally posted by tubbs View PostJust checked out Broken Ties and all of your feedback on the ep. Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your comments (good or bad). The support has been pretty cool.
For example, about the "Broken Ties" wraith:
Spoiler:
Did he understand that Tyre was intending to blow himself up with the facility? If yes, why did he let the others go, is it because he was so self-confident that he couldn't imagine Tyre refusing his Gift?
Originally posted by dasNdanger View PostThough we have seen Wraith ships leave a battle, individual Wraith do not retreat. They advance, and keep on advancing...almost a foolish thing, if you ask me. We see it in both The Siege and Sateda, it's as if they have no concept of 'retreat and regroup'. They just keep on coming, often engaging in suicide missions like kamikazis. Bob probably knew his mission was a suicide mission, but he certainly did not shy away from it. And even when outnumbered, an individual Wraith will attack...not sure if that's their nature, or just bad writing.
Of course, the Lanteans have no mercy for their enemies, either...My Stargate Atlantis fanfictions - Wraith font
Todd contacts Atlantis once more... (spoilers up to season 4) 1. Glimpse Into the Evil | 2. Of Wraith and Men (in progress)

Originally posted by tubbs View PostIf I was offended by anything anyone had written, I wouldn't have dropped a line. Censorship kills inspiration.
And I know I said it somewhere - I totally enjoyed your portrayal. On Sunday I re-watched Broken Ties with a friend who's a longtime SG1/SGA fan, and she's absolutely petrified of the Wraith - she screamed (literally) everytime the Wraith appeared on the screen. It was really kinda funny...since the Wraith have an opposite affect on me.
We made quite the pair.

okay, got it
Spoiler:Yes, sometimes things are written into the script. For example, ". . . the Wraith casts an evil smile in Tyres direction." But if the actor has a more interesting choice for that moment, they can do what they want. It's up to the director to accept or refuse the actor's choice.
Regarding Tyre: "Rhys" didn't really have a choice either way. He was dying. Fast. So, though Rhys was clever enough to know what Tyre was up to, his only choice was a last ditch effort to bring him back.

I'm curious - why 'tubbs', and not your real name (like Bam Bam and others have done)?
dasSpoiler:Tubbs was my nickname in elementary school. It's kind of a joke amongst some of my friends. My real name would have been fine too. Tubbs just makes me laugh.

Was that a director's choice just to have your character on the far side of the scene, or did it signify the affect that the 'process' had on the Wraith?
