You know, I really was just thinking old people and the infirm get turned into food. Because it would be easy, and would make sure that the population could easily run/hide from the Wraith, and it would make sense in a "do anything to survive" kind of way that doesn't involve collaboration with the Wraith.

I'm not sure how I feel about the stealing religious artifacts issue, because I feel like it's already been played out on screen and in fanfic: obviously, the extreme immorality of the SGA hasn't run off Teyla and Ronon yet.

Maybe if it were something that is both a spiritual object and something necessary to that culture's continued survival, but not as "necessary" -- or as interesting -- as it would be to the SGA. In fact, maybe the argument between Elizabeth and Teyla is that they both agree that it would be wrong to take the thing, but Elizabeth thinks so because it would only be useful as a military toy (it's a nuclear bomb builder or something) and she doesn't want to go there, while Teyla thinks so because it's just plain wrong to steal (and is a little perturbed by Elizabeth's flexible morals when it comes to the people of Pegasus).
