In which "The Queen" is not about John being camp :(

Oh man, the "science" in this episode hurts my brain. I kept expecting Rodney to suddenly snap and start screaming, "I'm sorry! I can't go through with this! It makes no sense." Oh, show, why must you wound Rodney's poor science so?

In more general terms, Teyla is awesome but this was way more boring than it ought to have been. (siriaeve's The Language of Hard Nouns springs to mind as a story dealing (note: actually dealing) with some similar things while being about 10,000 times more interesting.) Also, I feel that Teyla could have totally kicked Bald Wraith's ass. The fact that they had her get rescued by Todd? LAME.

Also lame: John named Todd's 2IC Kenny, and yet we got no South Park joke? Is it bad that I want to write a fic just to kill off a boring secondary character now?

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED Todd giving Teyla Wraith Queen lessons a la My Fair Lady. I am TOTALLY writing a fic about that if I can come up with the Wraith equivalent for "The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain."

HA! DO IT. That almost makes this shitty, shitty ep worthwhile.

*waits patiently*

PS I want to know how the Wraith distinguish each other when no one seems to have any names?? At one point Teyla was like, "This one" (referring to Todd).

PPS I totally thought Bald Wraith looked like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

Er, random lurker here, but my mum and I were trying to figure that out, and eventually came to the conclusion that it had to have something to do with the tattoos.

Any who...
