Stargate Atlantis - Misbegotten

About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of the Wraith's transformation and the leadership dynamics in Atlantis.

Stargate Atlantis' Misbegotten leaves us with many questions. A lot of them are about the wraith's hair and how culturally important it might be. And do hive ships float? Why does it seem like Atlantis has learned nothing from its past mistakes? Yes, they really didn't have a lot of options with transforming the hive ship full of wraith into humans. It just seems like they've never had a larger discussion about what to do with the wraith they turn into humans. And they keep treating Michael like he's some kind of spy when they're the ones who made him what he is! This really was just A Bad Plan. One good thing to come out of this episode, though, is that Weir will be staying in charge of Atlantis. For now…. But also, fuck the IOA.
