Surprised there are no reviews. This is quite a pivotal episode in confronting The Wraith. Teyla may hold the key as she has Wraith genes and can communicate with them, but is unable to control her actions while under their influence. Quite a frightening beginning before the opening credits. Building to what I hope is going to be a great season finale.

"The Gift"
allmoviesfan28 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
The first use - that I can remember, anyway - of a dream sequence in Stargate: Atlantis. Also, the first episode that is centered wholly around Teyla, one of the more interesting characters. Been waiting for this kind of episode.
In "The Gift", she is haunted by nightmares and ends up finding out via an elderly Athonosian woman that she can sense the presence of the Wraith. It turns out that she is actually part Wraith, thanks to genetic experimentation in the past. Teyla can even communicate with the Wraith, though when she is under their influence, it's as though she is an extension of them...which is definitely bad news for the Atlantis crew.
A strong episode with a cliffhanger.
