Mav Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 ..a Goa'uld symbiote took a Wraith as it's host? I started to wonder various things. Both have incredible healing powers, basically on an even level. Though the Goa'uld typical hosts can't survive a well aimed shot or couple shots, while a Wraith even in a weakened state can take a good half clip and keep going. The Goa'uld can heal just about anything as long as it's own life isn't in danger or seriously hurt, giving it a slight advantage in healing over the Wraith who need to feed in a period of X time in order to heal Y amount (where X being the sooner) Both also posses enhanced mental abilities. A Goa'uld symbiote can literally repress the typical host completely, giving it control over the body and access to the mind. The Wraith as proven have mental capabilities, as we've seen them interact with people like Tayla and play "tricks" on your eyes (which I'm just going to assume is part of their mental abilities and not their technology) So I asked myself "could a symbiote take over a Wraith?". It'd be like a battle of wits literally, who would be stronger mentally. If the symbiote wins, he then has a body much stronger and tougher than a typical human (even after enhanced by the symbiote). If the Wraith wins, well no more symbiote ;o That itself brings up a few questions. If the symbite could win, and take over, would it "heal" the Wraith's hunger/requirement to feed on humans? If not would this pose as more of a threat? (combine fully fed Wraith body strength with goa'uld symbiote strength...). It certainly could help their "godhood" if they fed on slaves as punishment, that'd be a hell of alot scarier towards the other slaves than meerly shooting them with a staff blast. And what of a sarcophogus? Would it also "heal" the Wraith body's hunger? Would it possibly make it stronger much like the Goa'uld become more evil with each use? Personally, I think that would be bad ass if the Wraith somehow can become taken over as hosts like humans and Unas can, this could pose a new challenege if ever the Wraith need a pick-me-up on SG-A or if theres something to fill in as a villian on SG-1 (for those that ask "how?" just say something like Baal learns of the Wraith and tries to use them as soldiers much like Anubis used the Drones). Yes..I watch too much of this stuff ;o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybrick Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I think a Goa'uld would find it too much work maintaining control of a Wraith host and would eventually give up. Because Wraith share a mental link with the rest of the hive the Goa'uld would be found out almost immediately and be destroyed. Even if it could overwhelm one Wraith mind and take over a body, I seriously doubt it could repel a unified psychic attack from an entire hive.

Mav Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 Good point. Didn't remember the thing about the Wraith being interconnected in a Borg-like fashion. And since it's not really a flaw in their body/genetic makeup a symbiote couldn't "heal" their mental connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawa Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 well, if you think about it the unas are better then humans as power hosts, cause they are alot stronger than humans. But i think humans are easier to control, and breed.. ;) So just by this observation we know the gua'uld are lazy and like not haveing problems with thier livestock.. so the wraith are to much trouble, the gua'uld would rather take the old lets just blow them up strat.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybrick Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Unless the unlikihood happens where a Goa'uld and Wraith are willing to have a true symbiotic relationship with each other like the Tok'ra have with humans. That kind of idea has definite story potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Hmm. It's hard to say. I imagine they could probably take them over but the Goa'uld are a spent force now... so it's an irrelevant question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baal is kicking around out there and in s9 he more than made his presence felt several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Yeah but he's not a threat, the Jaffa represented the base of Goa'uld power and he hasn't got many of them, plus it's entirely possible that all of them got blown up by the Lucian alliance... Though I doubt that. Apophesis and Anubis both "died" about 15 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NITRO1250 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Atlantis meeting the Wraith would have been better years ago during the SG1 series. All the Alantis explorers would do is introduce them to the Goa'uld. Now, that would be interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeeJay Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 well' date=' if you think about it the unas are better then humans as power hosts, cause they are alot stronger than humans. But i think humans are easier to control, and breed.. ;)[/quote'] Well they make stronger hosts , but I think the greater mental capabilities of a human host also have it's atractions .. besides , the Goa'uld have come to be incredibly vain , since the time when they used Unas as hosts and did not know of humans. Besides human bodies are supposedly easier to heal (the alien/goa'uld in the movie said this is why he picked his host) I think however that the Wraith / Goa'uld mix is a match made in .. well .. hell , as both species are so evil. Wraiths I believe have the ability and the knowledge to control who they share their hivemind with .. If they didn't then they could'nt have different hives plotting against each other as each side would know the others plans. And if they Goa'uld were to take a wraith host , they would gain this ability and knowledge in the joining. So basicly we would have a really bad mofu on our hands .. capable of regenerating even faster than wraiths, with the genetic knowledge of a goa'uld and the techonogical knowledge of both species, combined with certain mental powers and a hivemind to boot. It would probably take a strong diciplined Goa'uld mind to maintain control over a wraith host, but a wraith host could also be taken as a child or grown as a mindless clone to make it easy to control. The wraith hunger would no doubt still be there too .. the host needs it .. no way around it except geneticly altering a wraith. Goa'uld with human hosts still need to eat human food .. this won't be any different. I don't think a Goa'uld would be able to take a prior as a host though.. they are probably geneticly altered to make that impossible .. who knows what have been done to them .. they certainly aren't you're average human anymore after "priorfication" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TetsuoShima Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 hehe, interesting suggestion. Goa'ulds taking over wraith bodies. It could go either way if you ask me. They both have superior mental strength. But should they succeed, I highly doubt they would be 'healed' from the feeding, since it is not a disease, it is what they are. (well depends on how you see a disease of course) I'm wondering however what would happen should Anubis take over a wraith. That would be interesting. Could he stay in the same body? How much would he have to feed to sustain himself like that. Would it in effect create a wraith with fairly detailed knowledge of the ancients and their technology. I'm betting that he could take over the whole universe.... (Of course, Anubis is out of the picture now, but should that not have happened...) In any case, I think that would make a great storyline, wraith hosted Gua'uld... WOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
