First of all, thank you thank you for giving Teyla something to do! I was getting sick of her role being Ms. States The Obvious or in the case on Letters from Pegasus, an out of character Ms. Moral Preaching. Finally she not only gets a storyline, but an interesting one at that. That said, I still felt Teyla was a little stiff. What is the unwritten rule that aliens can't use contractions? Be brave Teyla, say "don't." I felt like I was watching Rachel Luttrell kind of find her way in this role. Which isn't suprising as it's really her first opportunity. A lot of the same sentiments I have about Teyla I originially had about Teal'c, hopefully she will be given the chance to find her place and a more fluid way of being.
As for the whole Dr. Moreau Wraith thing, I found it interesting. Certainly has some prospects. And as for the Ancients (even accidentally) creating the Wraith, are we really that surprised? But still, they're finally making the Wraith a little cooler. While the actual dialogue was uber-cheesy, the idea that a Wraith could take over Teyla is still appropriately scary. I was also glad to see (even if only one) that the Athosians still exist. Let's not completey forget about them, and can we not play the obstinate-naive-alien card?
And the stick-fighting: As someone who has some martial arts experience, I quite like the stick fighting because it looks cool and can actually inflict some damage (please don't get me started on The Warrior). But Teyla's out fit is just ridiculous. I mean, please. You can still look sexy in workout pants, I promise. Less ridiculous outfits, more kick butt ("I've scene you fight my dear." Hee.)
