Help, I'm trying to decide what movie reference I should make right now.

I think I'll go with "The Matrix"

Smith: "Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet."

Doesn't that kind of make us like the Wraith?

I guess I'll start my 1000-year sleep cycle.

I don't think so, since the Wraith just suck the life out of you. I'd have to agree with Agent Smith, it's more like a virus.
