I don't know whether you asked that before or not, but I think my answer this time is going to be 'wait and see.'
You want a movie of Wraith, stripping?
Lovable? Who's loveable? The Hive Second? Boy are /you/ in for a shock if that's what you think. Loveable and Hive Second certainly do not go together.
Right - deep breath - Todd and Keller. All this talk of 'pairings' and 'extras' and - excuse me - infidelity? Lets look at the social structure of the Wraith Hierarchy for a minute shall we, and lets underline the word, Wraith.
Queen - commanders - Sub-c's - drones. How many females there in that list?
Todd, as a Commander (and a fertile one at that), is beholden to the Elder Queen. The Queen sent Vega to him for the purposes of sexual favours, but she coulda sent anyone... or no one at all - her choice, his instinct to act or not to act... and there's a hell of a lot of instinct going on here, what with the EQ being in season/on heat, and her pheromones flying around all over the place.
Todd's WRAITH. He's not with anyone. Relationships of the kind you're talking about happen between Humans, Wraith don't /do/ that kind of thing - especially not with Humans. They might be totally devoted to their queen, but the QUeen's don't mind who they're shagging so long as they remember where their loyalties lie - so why the hell would a male Wraith, driven by the 'animal' instinct to mate be bothered either.
Very occasionally, you'll come across a Wraith that forms a kind of 'emotional' attachment to on of his Concubines, and very, /very/ rarely, you'll get a commander that actually /bonds/ with said concubine, but that doesn't suddenly give him a socio-cultural transplant, Wraith to Human sensibilities - no. The devotion might still be there, but the devotion is /deeper/ than just the animalistic act of mating... it's /mental/
So... no more talk of 'infidelity' since Wraith are not monogomous creatures. Jealous and possessive, yes, but not monogomous...
Just think about something you spotted earlier - it'll make you feel better.
Michael is a canny, clever hybrid, and he was a canny, clever Wraith too. Yep, Teyla's in for a real treat.
I have a new word? What word is that?
What do you mean about the HC being skipped again?
The Second's reward for Michael is definitely a negative one, yes.
Hive Commander/Hanna - hold that thought.
See... Todd is warmed by the thought of Vega's presence.
Yep, poor Michael... he's in so much trouble.
What makes you think what Todd and Michael saw on their respective screens where the solutions to their problems?
