Todd is the Ba'al of SGA. The dangerously savvy, adaptable one, who actually bothered to learn and understand his enemies and cooperate with them as allies-at-need. And just *so damned likeable*
Actually Ba'al was one of the few system lords which would've been able to adapt to Earth standards (and he actually did, at least few of his clones). It's pretty darn shame they hunted him down instead using his keen intellect and influence to rule over many worlds and gradually introduce them to Earth standards instead of throwing them to Lucian Alliance. In the end "Terrans" just got themselves few off world facilities (some of which were lost during replicator incursion, other during ori crusade) and Goa'uld territories were divided between Jaffa and Lucian Alliance. Yep, makes perfect sense to be a victor and gain nearly nothing out of it.
I think that todd have to be part of the team. He is a wraith but also different. I dont like that sheppard was too hard with him in some situations. The screenwriters dont made well
They already determined that the tricorder readings were normal. (For anyone who doesn't get it, try to recognize the guy with glasses from another show.)
A Hor'us Guard, a Serpent Guard, and a Setesh Guard meet on a neutral planet. It is a tense moment. The Serpent Guard's eyes... glow. The Hor'us Guard's beak... glistens in the sun. The Setesh Guard's nose... drips.
I have to say Christopher Heyerdahl is an awesome actor able to pull off the role of a kind man you wish you call your best friend or twisted monsters that leave you in a state of absolute terror. His role as Todd did a good job of walking the line between being likeable and terrifying. It was an excellent job and very fun to watch.
@@DTavona he had at least 2 roles in sga, maybe more, i can't really remember. they both also worked on series called sanctuary, where he also played at least 2 different characters. I was always annoyed by how he was recycled both in sga and sanctuary.
@Ijon Tichy, He played Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping)‘s ex husband and father of their daughter. It’s been awhile since I watched the show but I think he was supposed to be like Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde type character, sometimes decent, sometimes psychotic.
@@keithtorgersen9664 You mentioned one character. He also played one of magnus' sidekicks - bigfoot. If i recall correctly, he also played some other minor characters, but i've seen it many years ago and i don't remember details. btw, magnus' husband played by this dude was Jack the Ripper, he got infected/possessed by something and that coused his homicidal tendencies. There was another dude who fitted Jekyl/Hyde description.
Carter's season in command was very strong for her character and the show, probably the best season overall for Atlantis, , Todd as an antagonist helped greatly as well
I think the order of events goes Ida, Milky Way, Ori Galaxy, and then Pegasus. Which would mean she actually going for her fourth time against replicators. But I'm only about 60-70% sure that this scene takes place after Ark of truth. Also this is her first time trading blows with Asuran Replicators who seem to be very different from the other replicators we've seen.
So that's why i laughed so hard when he presented the Atlantis Team with Fruits to eat while on his Ship, commenting nonchalantly "I hope they are as delicious as the Farmers who grew them."
Sorry I did not know about a message here until the newest from Tímea. RUclips..... I do know there is animated series and I disliked it strongly for some reason. I do recommend watching the Stargate Origins, even though they are short films (about 10 min each) it's still 10 episodes to watch and it's from the time when they discovered the Stargate and didn't know what it was yet.
@@quinnsinclair7028 It's also an act of will. After all, they can even reverse it if they want to... So it would've been a bad move to start feeding in this particular situation... I don't think he would have.
@@samsaraslight8377 The Situation can be compared to locking yourself into a cage with a Hungry Circus Lion while you hold a whip. The Lion knows to fear the whip and to follow commands but if he is too hungry he might just go on instinct and attack.
I realized that Carter is the only character to face all the enemies in SG1, SGA and partly even SGU (she only didn't face the blue aliens from SGU). In SG1 - Goa'ulds, Ori, Replicators, Lucian Alliance In SGA - Wraith, Replicators In SGU - Lucian Alliance
All the soldiers jumping at him just raising his hand, despite being heavily outnumbered and unable to actually harm anyone in time, but Carter is used to whole other horrors already and barely gives a damn. ^^
That was pretty funny! Although I certainly wouldn't have been amused if I were in their position either. He was a great character, truly had depth and dimension; while in general the wraith were a pathetic and boring villain.
how could anyone not like a wraith as such! it's not like we have never looked at a lobster and call it cute, then 15 minutes later enjoy all it has to offer. LOL
Disney had a great little children’s ditty, “Never Smile At A Crocodile”, and this needs the same treatment. Although, I can come up with fewer good rhymes for wraith than -file.
Just yesterday i watched this episode. Now i'm probably on 20+ reviews of atlantis, i don't even try to calculate how much times i reviewed SG-1. SGU was also good but it had rough start, i remember getting through first episode was very painfull. I'm only wondering why nobody from female feminazis don't know about this show and how much good female characters also in leading roles it has. I can honestly say that Samantha Carter was my first celebrity crush and i love this character ( also Amanda Tapping looks so gorgeous )
1:40 Have a bit of faith, Woolsey. This is not her first time going against Replicators. Including human form ones. Or dealing with centuries old, superhumanly strong aliens. Or saving the galaxy. Or ending up destroying some stellar bodies.
@@TytonidaeIndustries See? Comapred to that, one planet is chump change. And she even had a whole ZPM network to work with this time. Way more room for error!
Woolsey would know not to undermine the Colonel's command in front of an enemy with that line as he walks away. Any disagreement would be done in private.
Not especially funny, but at least understandable by someone not too familiar with wraith culture, unlike _Jaffa_ humour (what little we've seen of it at least). Or maybe it's just the Teal'c doesn't have much of a sense of humour.
Matthew Marden Teal'c has a fantastic sense of humor if you study more of Daniel Jacksons Zen Koans.. the dripping nose was a brilliant joke following along the likes of "if you immediately know the candlelight is fire" bit.
Basically if we don't constantly shove women in position of power for the sake of it and show men as weaklings who need women protection and do it like how it is in reality, no one would care. But no, look at shows like supergirl and star trek discovery and others where the feminism is in your face and overdone to show strong manly women. That shit is what pisses everyone including dems and Republicans
Ah time, it erases a lot of memory. How quickly we all forget “Super Sam” and the horrible story lines that cropped up around the need to push her character to the forefront.

Todd, Wraith Dad.
Yea I know right
"Todd, I´m hungry" - "Hi Hungry, I´m Todd" :p

This is why Todd is the best
Todd for president 2020
DHF F Todd's humorless Wraith sister was thoroughly beaten by Trump in 2016, why do you think Todd himself could beat the Trumpster in 2020?
I'm half convinced that Carter found it funny too but suppressed the laugh.
I think that todd have to be part of the team. He is a wraith but also different. I dont like that sheppard was too hard with him in some situations. The screenwriters dont made well
@@TheDjbz This is my headcanon now, I'm also convinced she wrote the joke in her mission report.
Why isnt anyone stating the nature of the medical emergency
TheDroidBay they don’t want to initiate the wraith of Khan
Because there isn't one - Carter didn't take the bait. Lol ha ha ha ha ahhhh
Obviously he was the ECH at the moment
They already determined that the tricorder readings were normal.
(For anyone who doesn't get it, try to recognize the guy with glasses from another show.)
Or an Emergency Command emergency. Doh!
It's okay, Todd, *I* thought it was funny.
Well, I laughed,,,
I found it so funny I sometimes use this one myself, loses a little in translation though.

Gotta love how Samantha didn't even twitch when he did that. She knew better and was not surprised.
She probably earned Todd's respect with that lack of a reaction.
She gave that hand a worried look though.
Sam is beyond battle hardened.
She worked with Jack fracking O’Neill for, what, over a decade? She’s gotta be a natural at spotting cheesy humor at this point
@@etazeta674 Not to mention dealing with Goa’uld, who could be likeable even if villainous.
Colonel Carter is the boss here, and shows it. No bluster, no fake swagger, no exaggeration, no oversized threats. She is in charge and that's it.

Their deadliest weapon yet.
@@ncc74656m Dadliest
Didn't Carter defeat the Replicators in two different galaxies by this time? She going for a triple.
Ohh baby, a tripple!
But it was the same replicators, and technically 3 galaxies and this would make a fourth
Ida, Milky Way and Pegasus. What was the fourth?
The Ori Galaxy (Ark of Truth).
I think the order of events goes Ida, Milky Way, Ori Galaxy, and then Pegasus. Which would mean she actually going for her fourth time against replicators.

Hands down one of my favourite moments from the show. Todd was such a great character
Hands down was Carter's impression too.
You said "hands down"😆😆😆😆😆😆
Tough crowd...
Todd: lets shake hands bahahahahaa
Teal'c: on my planet, dad jokes are punishable by death. *dramatic stare* Sadly we are on Atlantis
ok I totally read that in their voices in my head :D
Wraith Humor is like German Humor:
It's no laughing matter
I swear i just though of this
I'm german and I have to admit you're right😂
Nitrous oxide would technically be laughing matter.
Genau!
So that's why i laughed so hard when he presented the Atlantis Team with Fruits to eat while on his Ship, commenting nonchalantly "I hope they are as delicious as the Farmers who grew them."
This was one of the funniest scenes of Stargate Atlantis 😂😂
*I love Stargate, I wish there was more to watch. Unfortunately there isn't. Got to keep repeating the good old stuff :)*
Maybe someday we will get more. Did you know there is an animated stargate series?
I am doing that, I rewatched the entire SG-1 series, and now rewatching Atlantis, can't get bored of these shows. 💖😁

@@TheZapan99 what's next, he licks it suggestively?
If I was one of the guards I wuld have pised myself when he said that.
i know, right loool
I would’ve piss myself just from hearing that laugh. A wraith laughing never means good things.
It does actually bother me that none of them chuckled. That would have been more human. They would have done on SGU!
I would have shot him in the leg
After dealing with the megalomaniac Goa'uld for so long, the Wraith must have been a breadth of fresh air.
I loved tod, he was always my fave character
Every SG:A episode with Todd was a good one. Love that alien.
The way Carter looked at Wolsey was like ”shut up, Wolsey” haha
I love the guns clicking back, but the guards are all holding Wraith stunners.
out of all the roles I have seen this guy play. this is by far his most convincing work
I love that those who play Todd and Carter worked together in Sanctuary a lot :D
Don't accuse todd of not being a gentelman
That WAS funny! I like Wraith humor.
Good stuff Tod, good stuff.
That's Todd with two "d"s
There's a Tod with one "d" but he has no sense of humour

And the actor did just as well in Sanctuary.

Sam was smiling, I saw it xD
This guy would also play the Swede in Hell on Wheels. Another complicated villian role. This guy needs more of those type of roles in shows and movies
For those unfamiliar with the show, were he to touch a human that person would instantly turn into a duck.
Wait actually? (I’ve only just gotten up to the start of Atlantis)
Hmmm. I don't remember typing that.
Never negotiate with your food
Ken P Vampires would disagree with that. Besides, it is only negotiation until the dinner bell rings.
"we do not require...our food...to agree with us."
That's one of my favorite wraith moments
This is the wraith equivalent of the jaffa joke XD
I miss this show--it was great fun.
Oh look, it's Magnus and Druitt!

In SGU - Lucian Alliance
I forget, did she deal with the Pegasus galaxy Asgard?
@@blackbot7113 I don’t think so, but I don’t remember them being proper “enemies”, but antagonists for a couple of episodes

Binge watching Stargate and got this part.....just knew there'd be a video about it.... 😆🤣😂
It would've been BOSS had she actually took his hand
I'd have pranked him back with a hand buzzer

One of the best Scifi villains of all time.
Well Todd is more the 'anti hero' than villain.
Would've been funny if Carter accepted the hand with the smugest smile on her face, hinting she just might be a poison for him.
I would shake his hand. He is not an idiot. He knows that if he even hurts a strand of her hair, everything is lost. That would be a good comeback.

Both the actors for Carter and Todd played in Sanctuary. Both as friends and lovers. Depending on who they were playing at the time.
Everytime i see some SGA scenes with Todd i always think how powetful his faction could become if they would take Atlantis' mutagene vaccine.
I loved this scene.
Never shake hands with a Wraith!

Its dark af but thats legit pretty frackin funny 🤣🔥
honestly it was a pretty funny joke, from a Wraith perspective
Woolsey would know not to undermine the Colonel's command in front of an enemy with that line as he walks away. Any disagreement would be done in private.
Christopher Hyerdahl plays excellent adversarial characters.
Interestingly, Jo played Todd and Haling in Stargate Atlantis, and later went on to star with Amanda Tapping in Santuary.
He should have set up a 4chan account. Clearly todd was an edgelord
and everyone's like "handpussy or gtfo" or "stunner in pooper"
also: you clearly haven't ever set foot on 4chan
It would be even more awesome if Carter just sake it, Todd would not drain her because she need her still and become he is Todd, so Sam is safe.
Did...did she roll her eyes as she walked away from him?
It's creepy because the wraith act more human than the goa'uld, the replicators, and the Ori.
Man i miss this series

Matthew Marden the joke was probably more funny in Goa'uld, probably as a homophone joke that didn't translate over and Teal'c didn't explain.
The satesh guards nose drips is flippen hilarious you uncultured Nazi
Dad jokes are Universal.
By not shaking his hand it showed he had the power.
That Was pretty funny.
The futuristic scifi guns still go clack when you move them
I LOVE Todd; really, my fave SG character.
I freaking love Tod

It took me soooo long before I could see his face on screen without thinking of that line.
Yeah, but in Stargate when John de Lancie appeared, even without being Q, his characted acted in exactly the same manner :D
Thanks for sharing.
I miss sci-fi like this.
Todd was awesome.
Im 100% woolsie would have shaken his hand HAHAA
