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
