Great list - and I second the other commenter who would add the Borg to the list (maybe they stole number 8?)
I've always thought that while the Wraith themselves are creepy in some ways, their story-telling power is less with the Wraith directly and more in exploring how societies adapting to living under the threat of the Wraith. We saw the Genii build underground bunkers, the H-something-or-other devote their society to developing a medicinal antidote, the people with the penal colony at the gate, the ones with the moon refuge. I just think *that* is cool - all these different ways to deal with an more technologically advanced alien presence for whom you are FOOD.
