We really need more episodes like this. The Wraith are nothing but mindless drones with a few exception. They never got the depth and development the Goa'uld achieved. I would say the Ori as a villian evem got more depth than the Wraith. And they were only a villian for two years. That is why I like Spoils of War. It probably answers the most about how the Wraith were able to beat the Ancients and how they get their massive numbers. I also always thought this was what the weakness in Wraith technology that the Aurora discovered. Wraith supremecy has such a demand on cloning that if you strike this cloning basis (and destroy the ZPMs) you seriously cripple the Wraith. So I liked the insight into the Wraith. It also gave some time for Teyla insight and development. Something that is severly lacking in S2-onward. It was especially apparent in this season but at the same time I understand Luttrel's pregnancy was less then ideal. Which makes me enjoy this episode more to see Teyla take charge and be the one the rescue the team as they infiltrated a Wraith lab. Also it continues the mini plot of Teyla and John arguing her place. Yes I still agree with John.

Teyla only has some wraith DNA which should definitely hamper her abilities but the wraiths have all the DNA necessary, so that doesn't work out. And come on, she was so powerful because of the Baby? Sure, a 3-month fetus whose brain just started to develop can lend telephatic power to the mother.sigpic
