Quotes:

Dr. Rodney McKay: What does he looks like now? I mean, is he, is he full-on Wraith again?
Teyla Emmagan: Not quite. There are still human characteristics present in him. No doubt it's why I was confused when I first felt his presence.
Dr. Rodney McKay: You'd think that the human side of him would temper his aggression a bit.
Teyla Emmagan: Yes, because we humans aren't aggressive at all.
Dr. Rodney McKay: Well, certainly less aggressive than, uh... Oh, sarcasm. Yeah. Nice.
Teyla Emmagan: What Michael is doing right now must be stopped. He cannot be allowed to escape. He's far too dangerous.
Dr. Rodney McKay: You're preaching to the choir, my dear.
Teyla Emmagan: But I understand his anger. His life has been destroyed. He no longer has a home or a family.
Dr. Rodney McKay: He had a family?
Teyla Emmagan: I don't know, but I've often wondered what he left behind when he was captured by us. We know nothing of his past other than that he was a Wraith.

Occurrence in "Vengeance" -Stargate Atlantis S03E19-

At 0:13:23/0:43:31, Major/Lt. Colonel John Sheppard says to the team:

"Alien. The movie Alien. They use the air-shafts to move around the ship."

Dr. Rodney McKay replies to Major/Lt. Colonel John Sheppard via interruption of him:

"And then they systematically killed the entire crew one by one. Thank you for bringing that up."

Major/Lt. Colonel John Sheppard then corrects Dr. Rodney McKay:

"They didn't kill them all."

This correction spoken by Major/Lt. Colonel John Sheppard indicates the carefulness of all who work on the fine program. To help in the only way that I can, I add that the movie in which there was more than one alien which traversed through the air-shafts was titled "Aliens" and was directed by James Cameron. In "Alien, "directed by Ridley Scott, there was one alien who "used the air-shafts to move around the ship" (Binder, 2007). I really enjoyed this episode and the continuity that writer Carl Binder and director Andy Mikita brought to it.
