I'm with you on this one....and of course, like you wrote...perhaps mostly because of Teyla's role in this one..although I have to say, this was a girls episode....Weir was totally great for me in this one as well...and that Wraith Queen....MAN she was like a punk rocker that woke up from the 80's...LOL
but, suffice to say, it did have some holes for me....but nothing major...I thought John's hands trembled a bit too much....and I thought he asked Ronon to be ready too much! LOL
Is this a new John? A fearsome John? Who knows...
I liked it much better than Sunday....I know...believe me it's too long to share! LOL
Ken C...likes these type of dark stories and I like them too...with the exception of Common Ground that was very heavy John/Wraith/Weir....Ken has used Teyla wonderfully in both The Ark and now in Submerssion...in reality, he commented in GW that he wrote this episode as a Teyla centric episode but it got sidetracked and thus it is heavily Teyla but it's not based around her character like other character-centric episodes....
I wrote this before....but I'll write it again...the fact that Teyla was able to outsmart a Wraith means a lot..and I"m hoping that the writers delve more into this idea....The times that Teyla has encounter with Wraiths, they all challenge her but none have tried to kill her...well, with the exception of the guy in Suspicion....but still think about it....Teyla says in Submerssion that the Wraith Queen not only sensed all of them..but then she stressed, she sensed me!
That has to mean something....the Wraith may not be able to get in Teyla's mind without her opening her mind to them...but they can sense her...could this mean that they can sense her Wraith Gene?
What does that mean? And will they treat her differently because of it?
I think there's so much potential here...and I can't wait to see where the Writers take it....
Overall, I really liked this episode....and like Tie wrote...one that I would definetly keep as a good one to rewatch!
