Teyla's father. Ronon and his mother's stories. Rodney panicking (and that indignant "Thirty-eight!")
The sensory details, the smell, the shallow breathing. The robes with the wind-chime noises and the tattoos.
Of course there would be a death cult, because people are so fucked up. And of course there's this whole mythology out there, and this feels like an authentic peek at it, and like a hallowe'en special episode, and like the stuff of nightmares.
