Heh - I might steal him for some Elf in the future. *g*

But those episodes dealing with the reversed Wraith bring up some pretty uncomfortable ethical questions considering our heroes, don't they? I'm all for survival and whatnot, but genocide is still genocide.

I was pondering over similar questions in Birthright 2. I don't know how familiar you are with Andromeda. They have the Nietzscheans - a genetically enhanced race of humans, the homo sapiens invictus, with an overwhelming survival instinct, who think everything is allowed when it enables them to survive.

I had there two Perseids (another alien race) discussing the irony of the fact that - after having fought the Nietzscheans for centuries - they actually had to become like the Nietzscheans in attitude to survive. There's something similar happening with the Atlantis crowd, I think, because, honestly, just how much different are they still from the Wraith, when they're willing and ready to sacrifice another race for their own survival?

Yeah, I know the Wraith have to be stopped from eating everyone, and that our guys ultimately have very little choice, but it still makes one uncomfortable, right?
