I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about what they did to Michael but ultimately I think it may have been the most fucked up thing Atlantis did

Michael really is a prime example of an Atlantis episode that is so good and so, SO bad.

The core concept of his character and initial framing of the episode from his perspective are honestly brilliant, but the entire rest of it is... well. Calling it frustrating would be putting it mildly.

I suppose what bothers me the most is how much potential his character arc could've had, if they had done literally anything else with him. Plus, the fact he was honestly the one in the right and while they acknowledged what our guys did was incredibly messed up, it still ended up framing Michael as the monster.

(I could well make another whole post about the writers' arguably weird handling of the Wraith as these people, who are all somehow inherently "evil" and the fumbling of the few examples proving the contrary...)

Best chance to turn the situation around, would've been to keep the truce with him during No Man's Land — as an outcast, he very easily could've made a compelling not-quite-ally*. Instead, they chose to make it all worse, by subjecting him to the retro-virus again. Having learned absolutely nothing.

*a role that would somewhat fall to "Todd" (Though I can't say I'm too happy with some of the choices for his character, either.)

who wrote michaels backstory. who's job was it to come up with a backstory for the wraith they were experimenting on

was it carson? was he sitting there writing notes like "progress is going well, patients name will be Michael Kenmore, maybe make him military, retrovirus seems to have run full course"

did he have to walk up to someone and say "we need a backstory for the wraith"

was it a focus group? did the senior staff get together and brainstorm?

i need answers

Wow I saw one (1) stray stargate post on my dash and my anger is flared again about Michael I can't TELL you how angry I get about literally every thing about his story.

Bby boy was THE sweetest most precious INNOCENT bean, and the sheer number of ways that Atlantis did him dirty is unbelievable. astronomical. ridiculous.

If there's ever a storyline that makes me truly dislike our favorite team it's Michael's. If they had just been honest! If they had just not treated him like a monster, effectively making him feel like thats all he could ever be to them! They changed half the cells in his body, wiping his memory and leaving him this puppy dog that just wants friends!! And connection! And a sense of home!! Even after he learned the truth, time and time again he was still just looking for home and community and acceptance (and honesty!!),, and our beloved team treated him, this new innocent creature, like the scum under their boots.

iF i HaD bEeN tHeRe we would've ran away, me and Michael. We'd figure it out. Work out the cure for his hunger without wiping his memory again,, he's smart, the lil fledgling (mad) scientist,, I'd take some cure with us and we'd flee to some planet and I would be his family and his friend and I would give him the love and honesty and compassion he deserved.

Ik nobody asked for this rant I just get SO steamed about it whenever it comes to mind >:(

I have my beef with Michael, but I can not deny that from his perspective, his actions were justified, holy shit did they wrong him

[autistic-danieljackson]

But seriously they essentially kidnapped Michael, told him everything he was was "wrong" and they could "fix" him, gave him an experimental drug that not only wiped out his memory but everything that he was, and then created an elaborate lie and still treated him like a prisoner/the enemy. Then when he reverted back, he was no longer welcome among humans but couldn't fit in among the wraith either. But he still trusted Atlantis and helped them! And to repay him, they did it all over again!!

[carsonsweebabyturtles]

Every time I watch Michael the angrier I get on his behalf. Atlantis did him wrong and they’re surprised it comes back to bite them in the arse. 

Is this a guilty look Carson? Should damn well think so too.
