Rewatch: Duet

[twinsarein.livejournal.com]

An away team is investigating a planet, when suddenly a Wraith dart arrives. Major Sheppard and his team are able to shoot it down, but not before McKay and a soldier, Laura Cadman are scooped up. As there is not enough power in the Wraith dart to re-materialize them both, only McKay is taken out. He passes out immediately and awakens on Atlantis. There is something wrong however. Cadman has appeared in his mind. She is able to see and hear what he does and speak to him, driving him mad. After a meeting with psychologist Heightmeyer, Cadman realizes she also can take over McKay's body. While Zelenka works on a solution, major Sheppard tries to convince Ronon Dex to join forces and convince Weir that he is a worthy addition.  [Poll #1794287]

I'm reeeeally glad TPtB didn't use the gross mice. This isn't a horror show, and that would have been unnecessary. Seeing them fried was bad enough.

Yes, you did reply earlier. I remembered it, but I thought you were unsure in your answer (or I remembered it wrong), so that's why I brought this up here. What fuels it more than anything, is a memory of the first Wraith saying that John had woken them ALL up. Of course, she could have just meant her hive.

Anyway, whether it's a mistake of understanding on my part or a mistake in continuity on their part, it isn't important. I've only ever run into one show that didn't have continuity errors, so that happens all the time. And, I make mistakes all the time.

It's good to have a possible explanation, however, and your's makes a ton of sense. Especially the part about putting down any civilization that is getting too powerful. Thanks for making such an effort to explain this to me.
