JPrestig (7/27/2006)Did anyone notice that Connors appearance as Michael Kenmore the wraith in the season 2 episode entitled- Allies-- was quiute different from his appearance as Michael the wraith in the season 3 episodes- Misbegotten and No Mans Land? The reason for these differences in appearance was because Brent Strait, and not Connor played Michael Kenmore the Wraith in the episode Allies- Connor supplied the voice, however.
Actually, yes, we discussed that over in the original Atlantis thread. 
After seeing SG Atlantis episode Miss Begotten- I really do not like the members of SG Atlantis any more.
How long have you been watching SGA? Have you seen any episodes besides the ones that CT is in? I'm curious how one episode could have that effect on you...
MIchael was the hero of the episode No Mans Land. He is the reason- why the Wraith ships were stopped form reaching Earth.
I would agree that Michael helped a lot, but I don't think he was the only hero. He did suggest that Colonel Sheppard target the hyperdrive, but Sheppard had already figured that out for himself. Major Lorne firing the drones from the Orion was what finally destroyed the one Hive ship, and Michael didn't have anything to do with that, though he did certainly help them disable the remaining Hive ship.
He is the reason why Col Shepard, Ronin, McKay and every on the Daedelis - is still alive.
Michael was definitely a big help in getting Sheppard, Ronon, and Dr. McKay off the Hive ship where they were held prisoner. He did bring up using the retrovirus gas on the other Hive, but I'm pretty sure the SGA team could have come up with that one on their own as well.
He even drove the dam wraith ship back for Col Shepard - and how do they repay his incredibly human deed-
What else was Michael going to do? He already knew that he wasn't welcome in the Hive and he wanted to go to Atlantis. He had no reason to refuse to pilot the ship. He wasn't doing Sheppard a favor as much as he was furthering his own interests.
They throw him in his old room in Atlantis under lock and key.!!
Let's see. Michael's a Wraith. Let's ignore the fact that he's an enemy soldier and already knows too much about your home base. Wraiths like to feed on humans. Would you really let him wander around your home unguarded? I hope not.
Man Was I MAD! All he asked for was a ship and supplies to leave- since he didnt fit it anywhere- (I wanted to cry- when he said this to Teyla)-
Again, let's ignore the fact that Michael's an enemy soldier. Do they really have a spare puddle-jumper to give him? The SGC doesn't build those ships - they were left from the Ancients and when they're gone, they're gone. This isn't "Relics" on TNG and it's not Picard giving Scotty his own pod that can be replaced at any convenient starbase. Supplies, those might be negligible, but if they let Michael go, isn't he going to need to feed at some point? So then, what they've done is freed a known serial killer. Yes, it was a bit of angst, but couldn't this be another source of the title of the episode? Isn't Michael in a bit of a "No Man's Land"?
Then instead of trusting him with the knowledge that atlantis still exists-
Where's Malcolm Reed when I need him to explain these things?? You don't don't don't trust the enemy with your secrets. The information may have already spread to other Hive ships, but the SGA team doesn't need to help it along any more than they already have.
Ronin, acting like a neanderthal shoots him in the chest
First of all, Ronon would have been under orders to do that. Second of all, it was safer for all concerned to stun Michael rather than have someone try to pin him down and possibly get fed upon.
and Br Becket then shoots him up with the retro virus- against his will-
Which is exactly why he's so pissed at Dr. Beckett later on.
They then proceed to dump him on that planet with the rest of the wraith/humans.
The SGA team learned their lesson on this one, didn't they? They got into trouble in the first place by letting Human!Michael wake up on Atlantis and they weren't going to do *that* again.
The Atlantians- Col Shepard, Roin, Teyla, - showed no moral fiber at all- and they are worse than the wraith in many ways.
Really? No moral fiber at all? I'm not sure you and I are watching the same show. Why did Sheppard bother to try to do any damage to the Hive ship with his itsy bitsy 302? Why did Ronon and McKay try to sabotage the Hive ship from the inside? Why did Sheppard insist that Michael help him find Ronon and McKay before escaping? (and that's all before they got back to Atlantis). Teyla has questioned the "Michael experiment" from the beginning, but supports her teammates' decisions. She has actually tried to remain Michael's friend when no one else was interested in doing so. The SGA team is rightly focused on keeping the Wraith from finding Earth, and maybe they make some mistakes along the way, but that is not an indication of a lack of moral fiber.
They ultimately repayed Micahel back by nuking the camp they had dumped him on.
That was the fail-safe. That means it was their last ditch effort - last remaining option - only thing left to do - to keep those Wraith from leaving the planet, which would have freed *more* serial killers.
At least the wraith kill to eat and thus survive- as animals in the wild have to.
Yes, but animals in the wild are not feeding on humans, nor are they capable of flying a ship and bringing all their relatives to a buffet that's galaxies away.
The Atlantians basically murdered a bunch of wraith/human hybrids -.just so they would keep a secret.
And the Wraith murder humans just because they're hungry. Who's in the wrong? Both? Neither? Gee, there's an interesting story. Someone should write a tv show about that.
If Michael was as bad as these Atlantians- he would have let the wraith kill Col Shepard and let the ships continue on to Earth- to do some eating.
Again, stopping the Hive ships wasn't all Michael's doing. He couldn't go back to the Hive and he was hoping for an alternative to striking out on his own.
There are no easy answers about what's been done to/with Michael. That's what makes it an interesting story and good drama. As I've said elsewhere, if the writers had the SGA team asked Michael for forgiveness and accepted them as one of their own, the conflict would be gone and so would the drama.
