Stargate Atlantis/Recap/S02/E18 Michael

"You may be able to make him look like a human, talk like a human, but he’ll still be a Wraith. Nothing you do will ever change that."

- Ronon Dex

Tropes

 * Amnesiac Dissonance
 * Catapult Nightmare
 * Half-Human Hybrid: Where Michael ends up at the end of the episode.
 * Humanity Is Infectious: Subverted...or...something. Certainly what they were going for with Michael, until it backfired horribly. Played sort of straight in that he doesn't just eat Teyla.
 * Inhumanable Alien Rights
 * Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Congratulations, you just turned a monster into a villain! While completely blowing the only thing that has kept you safe for the last season.
 * Start of Darkness / From Nobody to Nightmare: Michael goes from being just another Wraith to a character who, ultimately, becomes one of the series prime candidates for Big Bad.
 * The Farmer and the Viper: Teyla's kindness to Michael is rewarded by...Michael kidnapping her as a hostage.
 * The Virus
 * Tomato in the Mirror
