Honestly I didn't expect this ep to be as good as this, and the main reason was Teyla as the Wraith Queen. Man did she pull it off as the most bada** wraith ever! The way she ordered the other Hive to be destroyed while in the process sacrificing her own darts.... *shivers*
What's really cool is the fact that Teyla still reamins as the de jure leader of the alliance, which means the atlanteans now rule! (no pun intended)"Yo, you wanna join SG-1?"

Remember, despite Todd's ability for independent thought and action, he is still governed by his instinct. So although Todd knows Teyla is not truly a 'Wraith' queen, technically...she IS...because he made her one, and now he has to answer to her because it is their way. She can order his execution at any time now, something he can't so easily fight against like he can fight against an adversary like Ronon. Even if he could escape a death order from Queen Teyla, he may be forced to roam the galaxy alone, constantly looking over his shoulder, and Todd surely doesn't want that. So cocky at the beginning of the episode, so 'owned' by the end.
I just love the twists and turns of this episode. It was excellent, especially in giving us not just a glimpse, but real insight, into the workings of Wraith society.
Loved it.

Personally, I thought that her decision to fire on the Wraith hiveship was a horrible mistake and it almost proved fatal. She almost made a catastrophe out of nothing. Todd's revelation about her motives was actually really cool though. The I loved the look on his face when it dawned on him what she was doing. The only thing that would have wanted to see at the end was Todd giving her a wry smile as she left, sorta saying 'Ah, I see now I've taught you too well".Last edited by Infinite-Possibilities; 15 September 2008, 04:02 PM."First Weir, then Samantha Carter, and now, you!

I do think Teyla let herself be carried away too much with the attacking of the other Hive Ship, and if she had remained as queen for too much longer on that ship, she eventually would have done something that would have either revealed herself, or gotten them all killed.
That said, she did do a good job the rest of the time acting like a queen. The line I was half-expecting Todd to say at the end was something a bit more like, "I no longer could tell the difference between you and a real queen." The expression on his face seemed to me like he was shocked at seeing not simply just a person who looked like a queen, but someone who gave him the same sort of chills as meeting a real queen would.

i also loved teyla's agression, even if it was reckless, it must've felt sooo good!
what i thought strange was all the other wraith being so concerned about the sacrificed darts. wraith with empathy are just unnatural ... even if it;s empathy for another wraith.
maybe they were just scared of dying in the battle ... but what wraith wouldn't gladly sacrifice his life for his queen?
