    Michael was an intense episode starting with a LT Michael who is having Haunting Nightmares about Wraith. The nightmares are pretty scary, as are the Wraith which inhabit them. There is something else going on, which is established, but it is fairly easy to figure out if you watch the show regularly. The main characters in the show have mixed feelings about whats really going on, and its interesting to see that range. Michael decides to take his fate into his own hands and takes Teyla hostage. Luckily she is rescued, and Michael is left for the Wraith, from a hive ship which just landed on the planet where they had fled to. The Wraith now have access to know that Atlantis still stands, will Michael reveal this information?moreless

  • A Lt. Michael Kenmore is in the infirmary and the doctor claim she has amnesia. Otherwise he looks quite human and normal. Unfortunately only Ronon seems to react to him in a honest way and we soon find out why!moreless

    Not an improvement over the last three episodes. Unfortunately this series stalled about two thirds of the way thru the second season and is faltering as we speak. This was serious madness on someones part. Take a Wraith and use the retro virus on him. Then bring him to Atlantis which the Wraith aren't even aware still exists and allow him semi-free reign as long as he behaves himself. Then when the experiment starts to go bad move him off world with little to no security where if he escapes he can return to his people and make them aware of what is happening. This couldn't have worked better if it was a Wraith plan to infiltrate a human stronghold.

    The story was somewhat interesting but Ronon's actions gave everything away before it was all revealed. Although everyone else did a good job of hiding it he is not built to react that way and the Wraith did basically reduce his race to about three hundred people.

    There's only two more episodes this season. I sure hope they bounce back soon. I enjoy the characters but the stories have either been moronic or boring. Thanks for reading...moreless

    wow.. this episode was shocking and frightening - the moment when Michael was sleeping and then waking up, pouring water and... The all concept - what they did. I first did not believed it. I was sure it will be something - like they did the memory lose by themselves to avoid something bad what happened with him, but I was never even thinking that he is a wraith they turned human.

    And all the thing, that they lied to him.. Ok, this is nothing, thinking what they did. I am shocked Wier let them do that and it looks like they are going to pay for it badly.moreless

    The idea for this episode was interesting. Beckett used his retro virus to morph a wraith into a human. The process erased the memory of the wraith and he woke up, as a human, not remembering anything. The personell fed him lies until he found out the truth. In the end, he escaped and eventually will turn back into a wraith. I liked the idea, but it was poorly executed. The episode was slow and boring. I hated the whole "connection" between Teyla and Micheal. It was annoying and stupid. Overall, hopeful idea, but bad episode. It also led the way for the season finale.moreless

    This episode was a little hard to follow at the beginning, but i knew from the start that something was not right about Micheal. Slowly thoughout the episode it is revealed that he is in fact a Wraith who has been made into a human with Beckett's new drug. Eventually Micheal works it out and escapes with Teyla they team fight to get her back. When they go a hive ship takes Micheal, so why don't i think that will be the last we ever see of him? Overall this was a great episode and it is not to be missed.moreless

    • Teyla: (to Michael) They call them Meals Ready to Eat. It was all I could gather on short notice. Doctor McKay quite likes them, actually. Edit
    • Sheppard: (after Ronon almost fired on Michael, but Sheppard beat him to it) I figured you'd forget to set it to stun. Edit
