NEWS & SPOILERS
(Newest information is added to the bottom)
"Alan is off and running on the new episode #9, 'The Queen.'"
(Executive producer Joseph Mallozzi, in a post at his blog)
"Yes, the extreme Shep-whump episode has been moved to the back half, leaving a big yawning empty space in the #9 slot. But we sat down for a couple of hours this afternoon and spun out a fantastic Teyla story. It's one of those stories that, after you've finishing throwing out ideas and putting together a rough structure, you sit back and say: 'Damn, I wish I was writing this one.'"
(Executive producer Joseph Mallozzi, in a post at his blog)
"Teyla joins "Todd" the Wraith (guest star Christopher Heyerdahl) in a visit to a Wraith hive ship, one that is allied with Todd. But despite the alliance there is tension, and the hive enters hyperspace in order to conduct their meeting elsewhere.
The rest of the Atlantis team is along for this very unusual mission. Back on Todd's own ship, Sheppard, McKay, and Ronon watch as the allied hive jumps away.
Teyla is in disguise as Todd's queen, apparently giving him the authority to enter into negotiations with the other hive and its own queen. But it is not long before suspicion is cast on them, and the two must work together to maintain the ruse -- and not appear weak."

NEW! May 28 - "Another praiseworthy performance comes compliments of Rachel Luttrell in 'The Queen.' A really nice range of emotions for Teyla in an episode chock full o' crosses, double-crosses, and an atypically ruthless turn for the new mom. Throw in Todd, an intriguing proposal, and that creepy new-look wraith and you've got one of the best episodes of the front half."
(Executive producer Joseph Mallozzi, in a message at his blog)
NEW! June 16 - "[Ellia, the Wraith child from 'Instinct'] and several other instances suggest that the Wraith's arguably 'evil' disposition is not genetic but shaped by their upbringing and their environment. Check out 'The Queen' for an interesting lesson on Wraith politics and diplomacy."
(Executive producer Joseph Mallozzi, in a message at his blog)
NEW! June 16 - New behind-the-scenes images from what appears to be the filming of "Tracker" and/or "The Queen" are now online at the L.A. Times Web site.
