There is a scene early on in Instinct where we are shown a dead body. I was initally surprised at how graphic the scene was. With hindsight, I think the director probably wanted to emphasise how horrible it is to be fed on and killed by a Wraith.
I did quite like the story though. As the other reviewer has pointed out, it is Jewel Staite playing the young wraith girl, which is also a plus. However, part of the dialog mid way through the episode made me think of an episode of SG-1. If you make the same connection, you will have a good idea about what is going to happen later.
I find myself liking Rodney less and less. He is mostly just being an ass again in this episode. Carson, by contrast, is quite likeable, and he doesn't think he knows everything (quite the opposite in fact).
Stargate Atlantis isn't perfect and it can sometimes be too similar to SG-1, but I am still very much enjoying it and I will continue watching...
