I'm going to be totally honest...

This is simplifying a lot, but...

Okay, so when Mike and the other Wraiths-turned-human confronted Lathon in the woods? I totally thought it was going to be a we're human looking but we still act like Wraith when one of our own pisses us off type of thing. Because it's not like they're loyal to one another. We've seen that enough. And you know what? I think that storyline would've been cooler than the we've stopped taking the medicine and remember thing. Because then they would've been addressing the issue that even though they look human, they still are innately Wraith, and now what do the Altanteans do with them and they're messed up social moralities? Or something like that.

Also, Beckett was a complete idiot the entire episode.

Also, also, I have no problem with them killing off the Wraith-turned-humans. I'm sorry. They're still Wraith, they're still a threat, and it's still war. Probably not everyone's opinion, but eh. *shrugs* The Wraith are pretty evil, and I don't think anyone comes out smellin' like roses in war.

Agreed. Because this is not war in the normal sense -- this is war against creatures who want TO EAT YOU. I'm getting a little bored with 'moral' discussions that are coming from the angle of Earth wars for land or power or hatred or whatever. (I still had problems with the plot in this episode, but killing-of-the-Wraith wasn't one of them.)

this is war against creatures who want TO EAT YOU. Yes, exactly! How can you argue killing or not killing them, when if you don't kill them, you'll be their breakfast, lunch and dinner?

I just made this same argument to the post above yours. Really, really don't have a problem with Beckett's retrovirus, and I actually didn't have a problem with the Hoffans drug that killed any Wraith that fed on them except that the Wraith would totally destroy the planet. Of course, the Wraith have been decimating planet after planet anyway, so I'm not sure that argument holds water anymore anyway.
