Teal'c fed on and no life taken away wtf ?
I want an explaination please.

As the wraith died suddenly, shouldn't a large amount of the enzyme been transferred to Teal'c, just like Ford.

he was only being life-sucked for roughly 10 seconds before Ronon killed the Wraith. Wraith typically don't start taking life until their enzyme has been introduced into the... happy meal

The Wraith didn't have time to actually take any. He was killed basically the moment he started.

How do you know there wasn't any life taken away? I mean, the guy spent fifty plus years on the Odyssey (in Unending) and just wound up with a small streak of gray in his hair.

It's possible he lost 5 or 10 years from the feeding, it's just not visible on him. He wasn't fed on for very long. Not surprising, given he's a Jaffa.

Beat me to it

Indeed. Wraith don't just instantly take all of someone's life either. Plus, this was the first case of a Wraith feeding on a Jaffa. Teal'C probably tasted different than a human, which may have confused the Wraith as well.

[Calicto]

The Wraith simply BEGAN to feed on Teal'c. This is evident in the lack of a more prominent handprint on Teal'c. There were blood marks, but clearly the enzyme hadn't fully been initiated into the blood stream and the feeding had not began.

We've seen this a few times before. Nothing new.

[Aerilon]

Perhaps, Teal'C, alike Ronan and a few others, is immune to the Wraith feeding?

Ronon isn't immune to the feeding process.

Uh where do you get that Ronon is immune to the feeding process.

[Corgano]

As far as I know, Ronon IS immune to it. I think this was the reason why the wraith didn't kill him, but used him as a runner. I think it was mentioned in the episode, when Ronon was first introduced into the show.

The Wraith started to feed, stopped and decided to do something different. So he could be immune or not. They (the writers) probably did that on purpose to heighten the mystery.

And Mallozzi said he is NOT immune.
