Oh yeah, definatly up there with the 'old-school' SG-1 episodes - not to mention that its the first Atlantis team-ep we've had since the start of Season 2, which makes it a pretty special ep. Love the McShepnon (McKay, Sheppard, Ronon), like how Ronon follows Sheppard's orders like he's still military, loved the fight at the end with Sheppard, Ronon and Teyla (Sheppard trying to break the stick), loved Weir coming to thier aid, and I like the shades-of-grey enemies this week (except Shawn; he's straight evil and we love him for it); the prisoners, not all of whom are as guilty as advertised, and the Magistrate, who's unscrupulous methods are, in the end, for the benefit of the people (though maybe they're benefit isn't the highest priority to him).
I agree with you 100%. The Wraith remind me a lot of the Replicators (pre-Season 6), where they were just a massive entity who were out for total domination. While the Replicators did kick ass, they were lacking the individuals and leaders that made the Goa'uld so cool, and the Wraith are suffering from the exact same problem. Hopefully, the inclusion of individuals and leader Wraiths (especially ones that remind you of Dracula) will step up the Wraith on the enemy scale (from mean to scary).
