Jul. 4th, 2009 11:30 amSo, I'm watching Stargate: Atlantis and seriously, how awesome would it be to be a Wraith? Think about it; your entire life consists of flying around in space, eating people and molesting innocent Sheppards, indispersed with centuries-long naps. Also, I bet human life force has like, almost zero fat and carbs, so you never have to worry about getting too chunky for your spiffy leather duds.
I think the only downside of it would be that a lot of them are obviously a bit vain - I mean, okay, they say they're sleeping for years at a time, but really, does anyone actually get up with hair like that? My worry is that the time they claim to spend in hibernation is really spent obsessively straightening their hair in preparation for the next big Cullapalooza, and as some of you know, I am not that great on the concept of haircare.
Having said that, though, you do get the ones with dreadlocks, who tend to be a bit harder than the Zombie Legolas wannabes - maybe the rule is that if you're busy fighting a war or terrorizing the population of Atlantis or just, you know, having a bit of a rough millenia being stuck in Genii prison or stranded on some craphole planet, the Wraith Fashionistas lay off if your hair gets a bit matted. I could totally deal with that - I am way more comfortable with the concept of killing people horribly than I am with holding heated bits of ceramic near my face.
God, being human sucks. I want to go out and eat a bunch of people right now.

Like, early era Cordelia Chase levels of bitchiness, if Cordy was the Queen of a Wraith Hive instead of Sunnydale High. You can just imagine them standing around with their version of Cosmo, having conversations like, "Black leather corsets? So in. Being turned into a human? Totally over." And then giggling nastiliy as Micheal walks past.
