I just watched this episode. What a good job on this episode.
Rachel Luttrell played and excellent Queen.

I found this episode witty and a good look into Wraith Hive life. I knew there had to be a main Queen.

The society where only the strongest and the most cunning survive.

It was well done...I liked it. :D

i thought this was a very good episode too. and a great reason as to why the series shouldn't have been axed. it was a great insight into the wraith. also, did anyone else think teyla was getting a little too into her roleplay as a queen? a couple of scenes had me thinking, if she'd stayed in her queen state much longer, dr. keller may not have been able to reverse the affect.

i did wonder whether todd had lead keller to perform the transformation in such a way that after a set amount of time, it would've been irreversable. but teyla even surprised todd several times.

[Angelica Constantine]

She played her roll as Queen well. And surprising Todd...well that was just icing on the cake.

[Dev Brown]

Wasn't the transformation purely cosmetic?

[Angelica Constantine]

Yes it was...plastic surgery of sorts.

[brymstone]

I thought it was reprogramming her partially-Wraith DNA?

[Dev Brown]

No, the surgery just made her look Wraith.

[brymstone]

so that wasn't on a genetic level? ok.

[Dev Brown]

That's why it had to be Teyla, cause she already had the genetic base required :)

Bingo..hehe :wink:
