My only other quibble with this ep is that the whole "transform Teyla in to a Queen" operation came out of nowhere! How did Keller suddenly get that capability, even with Todd's technical advice? Can he wraithify humans? Where did that come from? And if it's not that, the Wraith vaccine is supposed to work to "humanize" the Wraith, so Keller can't have used the same on Teyla, right? So where did that come from?
It's nice to see I wasn't the only one to wonder about this ! For a while I thought I had missed something (I've never fell asleep while watching SGA before, but you never know !). It was somehow a big plothole and I hope they plan on giving an explanation some day.
It was quite a plot hole! *nods* I know what you mean too about falling asleep. Although I hardly ever do that, I tend to drift off and think about things in one scene and then I lose track of/miss what's actually happening in the moment *g*
It would be good to get an explanation, but with not so many eps left, hmmm, I have some healthy scepticism they might paper over the whole thing and just use Todd's presence as the main source of the technique/tech/chemistry or whatever was required.

Since it was Todd's idea to use Teyla as a fake Wraith-queen I just assumed that he himself had the necessary knowledge, technical equipment an probably bio-material at hand and was willing to make it available.
After all, Wraith tech is heavily biological oriented so I guess it's not too much of a stretch to think this is *their* kind of beauty-surgery. *G* Granted, what works for a Wraith doesn't necessarily work on a human body, but at least it would explain where all the knowledge came from if Keller "just" had to adjust it to human biology (making implants compatible etc).
Hey, we're talking about a universe that uses wormhole-travel for milk-runs on a daily basis, so to speak. What's a little Wraith beauty-surgery now and then. ;-)
Yeah, I knew Todd was there for technical advice, and what you say makes sense. I just thought it was kind of unbelievable Keller would do it based on just his know-how, so I wondered ...
