But I must say, even knowing that, I was looking for hints about it. I could find none. What I saw was, "somthing is not right, something is off." But no way did I get a feeling that he was a Wraith. I love CT! He did a bang up job in this role. His acting was superb. Did anyone else pick up on the fact that when Michael did rebel and fight, he picked up a human weapon? And Shep and his men were using Wraith stunners. I thought that was a nice psyhological turn there. I'm with Xay on this issue about them doing these medical experiments. It's wrong. Unfortunately, Weir and her people view them as animals, and nothing more. It's the same mentality that the Nazis had about the Jews. They are not human, so what? Okay, the Wraith are going to kill them, but it doesn't give you the right to do what they did. I'm truly surprised that Beckett went along with this. Besides, even if it worked, which it appeared to, I'm with Ronon on this, they are still Wraith. That is not going to change. So now Michael has the knowledge of Atlantis and they will be coming. But it was a well written story and I did like it. I didn't see it as fluff or filler. Plus they finally gave Teyla something to do that wasn't fighting. They tapped into her Wraith connection because that is what Michael was able to pick up on.
