After the Atlantis Expedition, the Travelers, and the Wraith succeeded in blowing up Asuras, the Replicator homeworld, Sheppard spoke the sentiment that “all is right with the world” because he thought that the Replicators were gone and that the Wraith were back to being enemies. As viewers, we know that he was only half right, as we witnessed the beginning of the work of a faction of Replicators that survived the destruction of the others — led by none other than someone who appears to be Elizabeth Weir.
But, concerning the Wraith, Sheppard was probably quite correct: they are once again enemies. And in tonight’s episode, “Spoils of War”, written by Alan McCullough, the Expedition finds an abandoned Wraith hive ship that could provide them important information in how to strike down their enemy. Sheppard’s “ally” Wraith returns, but how cooperative will he be once the two encounter each other this time under such circumstances?
Executive producer and co-showrunner Joseph Mallozzi told his readers in his personal blog that this episode offers “promising wraithy revelations” as we witness a Wraith birth and see the difference between the male Wraith and the masked drones. Mallozzi said, “I’m so glad I ate my breakfast before sitting down to watch that wraith birthing scene,” and “So what is the difference between the silent masked wraiths and the chatty ones? Ohhhhhhh, I see.”
Mallozzi also said that things will develop for Teyla in this episode. As soon as Sheppard knew that she was pregnant, he pulled her off of active duty. Teyla believes that she is of more use going through the ‘Gate, and in tonight’s episode, more “fireworks” fly as she and Sheppard debate the issue.
