Stargate Atlantis: Michael’s Guide To Wraith Hybrids

Total Episodes: 11 Viewing Time: 8.25 hours

One of the Atlantis expedition’s most dangerous foes was an enemy of their own making: Michael, a former Wraith who was captured and used as a test subject. Dosed with a retrovirus that strips Wraith DNA from a subject, the Wraith was transformed into a human and his memory wiped.

It wouldn’t last, of course, as “Michael” discovered what he really is and began to revert. It kicked off an ongoing storyline for one of Stargate’s most intriguing villains, who returned time and again — always with a sinister new plan to forward his agenda.

What was Michael’s goal? In the end, galactic domination. But it started with a desire to make more like him — an army of Wraith-human hybrids, made not from converted Wraith but from transforming human victims.

Ready to be converted? Here’s the story’s complete watch list from Stargate Atlantis:

  • Connor Trinneer did a great job even though I didn't like the whole Michael thing. The Last Man is one of the worst SGA eps (literally a 1 out of 10) but Whispers is quite good and a fun watch.

    A lot of things I don't like about most of those eps though. Still my favorite SG show despite its problems.
