Excellent episode, I really enjoyed it.
It bothers me that I just accepted the idea in the last episode of why Teyla was having these dreams and I had not stopped to consider that a Wraith had transported down in the episode where it flew overhead. I mean, she practically told us in last week's episode when she claimed she had only ever had such dreams when in close proximity to a Wraith. They passed it off that it was just because all the Wraith were now awake and coming and I can't believe I didn't question that. Although they didn't think of it either. ;)
However, I thought it was incredibly naive of Sheppard to totally ignore the concerns of the security officer about Teyla. In his position, I would have let Teyla off until the immediate threat was gone just because of what happened when the Wraith took control of her.
Why doesn't Weir try to explain to Teyla's people that the Ancients are not gods who tucked tail and ran from the city and apparantly don't ever plan to return?
Real shame about the guy dying on the space station. I liked him. Why couldn't they have taken the ponytail guy along and let him be in the station when that happened?
