"The Queen" (508) Pre-Airing Discussion/Speculation Thread

[GoSpikey]

And again... Maybe Carson knows the secrets tot he Wraith DNA, now...

From SyFyPortal:

[Teyla] will also get closer to her Wraith side after communing with a Wraith Queen.

The aftermath of that contact will activate her Wraith genetics and will become a host to the Wraith Queen. Luttrell herself has confirmed that she will appear in full Wraith makeup to become "the leader of an alliance of Wraith."

I've been reading the last few pages - so are you all thinking Teyla might actually stay a Wraith for awhile? I'm starting to wonder myself. That might be an interesting direction to take, and would explain why no mentions of her in the midseason two-parter spoilers. It would give it away.

that article says teyla is "host" to the queen, the other article says she "embodies" the queen. that could mean two very different things.

july, hurry up! (september for this episode)

Well, supposedly Outsiders (Ep 13) is the followup to this episode.

I'm just trying to figure out how this is going to work. Will Teyla be gone from the team between The Queen and Outsiders? Hmmm.

I assume so. she hasn't been mentioned and she can't be on the team as a queen.

LOL - no, that would cast a damper on interplanetary relations.

A multi-episode arc with Teyla as a Queen would be interesting. I'm just trying to figure out if that's really what they're planning.

[naamiaiset]

if they're not, what else can "embodies" or "hosts" a queen mean? plus, she can't lead a wraith alliance if she's human... unless the alliance expects never to see it's queen.

True. I'm just not wanting to get my hopes up and it turn out to be a one-episode thing.

[naamiaiset]

me either. wasn't a "dark teyla arc" mentioned a while ago?

I think that was for last season, before Rachel's pregnancy came into the picture.

[naamiaiset]

probably, but this could be a good ep to pick it back up again if the writers plan to.

I agree.. After everything Teyla's gone through I think it would be only natural she would totally FREAK OUT

An Atlantis version of "The Shroud" maybe? Very cool.

Ahhh, the spoilers seem to contradict themselves and are so confusing. "Host" denotes that should will be remotely psychicly controlling a queen. As for "Embodies" that's the physical transformation correct?

So according to the spoilers one of those two things happens to Teyla either after she is asked by Todd (que retrovirus or something) or has been close to a queen or on a hive?

But we have also attained that she will be in prosthetics so the "Host" part is out?

Bah, so confusing.
