I liked this episode a lot for the fact to flesh out the wraiths more and portray them as individuals and sentient beings. Much better than the one-dimensional evil beings they appear to be in the show.
Bringing the retrovirus along was just some plot device to turn Elia into a monster, so Sheppard was "allowed" to shoot her and TPTB didn't need to bother about moral questions. They did the same trick in Condemned.
As I liked they bring up new ideas to solve the problem with the wraith, they really should take some other route. It is ridiculous that Beckett as such a retrovirus developed in such a short time and it never gets mentioned before. But anyway, the retrovirus is NEVER EVER going to work. Stripping off more then half of the genome of an organism would simple kill the being, not to mention it wouldn't work in such a short time or successfully remove all the Iratus Bug DNA.
It would be better they work on the serum.
