So, I just watched Stargate: Atlantis.

Apparently, everybody in the galaxy knows that the Wraith are awakening, and temporarily peaceful places are taking in refugees.

Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't it make more sense to pack up everything and return to the place the Wraith just decimated, rebuild from there? I mean, they're not likely to head back to the old place, at least not right away, right? And you could check at your regular homeworld at intervals, see if they've arrived yet. Once they do, and leave, go home. It could take them years to figure out this scam!

It's a clever strategy, I suppose, but then you'd always be rebuilding, and it seems like that would get depressing after a while...

Note: I know nothing about Stargate.

Yeah, it would, but it's better than being COMPLETELY WIPED OUT and having to rebuild anyway.

i thought exactly the same thing. i wonder if the wraith don't leave like a token garrison force or maybe a few ships or sats in orbit to watch over the worlds. i am interested in atlantis, but i was a bit disappointed with it at first, as i thought it was awkward to just instantly start out with a huge enemy and a huge storyline, but it has grown on me. i guess at first i wanted there to be some more character development and more exploration and them getting fragments of the enemy for the first season. it has worked out well enough that i am not exactly complaining, i guess its just my druthers.

Well, I'm an avid Stargate fan, and I've seen almost every Atlantis episode. I think the flaw in that plan would be that they leave beacons behind...like the episode with the kids that commit suicide after reaching age 25, because they will go outside the EPM field that their ZPM generates.

But, did you watch SG-1 tonight!? THAT WAS FREAKING AWESOME!
