Whee! It was an awesome episode (and I seriously love those caps!)
But, even as good as it was... I kind of have to agree with you. I was thinking there might be more of Teyla having to fight off Wraith instincts (and not just because of the ever-so-misleading SciFi promo). The version you propose might even have a chance of beating out "The Shrine" for me (okay, I lie, nothing would beat that ep unless John and Rodney drank beer on the pier together again). It would provide a perfect opportunity for some serious character analysis if Teyla actually experienced being one herself. At the end, I can see her still having the same viewpoint and desire to defeat the Wraith, but maybe tempered with understanding?
That said, I think she's still the closest the expedition has to having that type of understanding. Possibly the Pegasus Galaxy, although you'd have to take Michael into account... but Michael's insane, so I'm not sure if he counts.
watching Rodney shoot, I'm surprised Sheppard allows him to carry a gun
John thinks it's "cute", so he winds up giving Rodney clips full of blanks just to watch the fun XD
