SG: ATLANTIS - EPISODE #107- "Poisoning the Well"

Spoilers

***********************
From Stargate Online <http://www.sg-online.net>

Firstly, the planet named Athos, where Teyla is from, has been renamed Athosia. The team somehow recover the arm of a Wraith from Athosia in the pilot episode. Dr. Beckett's first name is Carson.

The episode takes place on a planet called Hoff. Characters include Perna (Female), Druhin (Male) and Merell (Male). The Hoffans have been working on a drug for over one hundred and fifty years. Perna and other researchers, including a man called Mylan Farris, were working a drug that would repel the Wraith's ability to drain the lifeforce of someone.

Farris discovered a man who survived an encounter with the Wraith. He found that the man had a unique protein in his body that enabled him to resist the chemical first released by the Wraith during draining. Unfortunatly Farris was killed in a cull before he could finish his work, but his notes survived, along with other materials.

Dr. Beckett is amazed to see preserved Wraith cells being repelled by human cells. Dr. Beckett can't believe and uses the captured Wraith arm to run his own tests, and finds that the human cells treated with the drug do resist the Wraith cells.

Unfortunatly, it doesn't all turn out well (Does it ever?). The Hoffan council begin innoculating their people with the drug, but Dr. Beckett finds something wrong with it. It seems that the drug causes mutations that not only defend humans from the Wraith, but attack the Wraith cells themsevles.

But not only that, the mutations seem unstable and one man dies, though the Hoffans do not believe it is their drug. And along with that, Sheppard and Teyla try to warn the Hoffans that is the Wraith find out about it they will wipe out their entire race, and anyone else they've come in contact with.

Dr. Beckett, who seems to be falling for Perna, begs her to help him develop a purely defensive drug, but she then informs him that she herself was one of the first people to be innoculated.

Yes, I was just reading this on the GateWorld website. What interests me is, the arm talked about in this discussion is shown on the concept art page of the Atlantis website...

Sounds too fluffy to me....

Where's the gunplay? It plays almost like an ep of Star Trek....

Ugh, I hope this show doesn't turn out to be Stargate: The Next Generation...

Col. Rocks out.

why dont they just use the drug and fire it to the wraith,
or you know put it in a bomb and blow up their base infecting some of them and killing them as well.

Actually the bomb idea is not far off as it sounds. I think it should be a mist that is sprayed from the Puddle Jumpers onto the Wraith, that is absorb into their skin causeing instant nervo death. I mean that their nervous system just completly shuts down and that it is modified to not infect or kill humans, or the asgard, if they every could travel that far.
