First off, I wish people would use more discretion when discussing an actress' possible pregnancy. It's a private matter, and until she comes right out and says something, or they admit it in an interview, or someone blurts it out in a blog,then retracts it (lol Alex Levine!), it's speculation. I'm staggered my people barging onto JM's blog and demanding answers, or starting threads at GW. Most of the talk on LJ had been in locked posts, which is more private than other places I've seen it. I don't think it should be so public until someone announces. This isn't aimed at anyone on LJ, more at the public talk elsewhere.
Second, about the stickfighting- I'm sure most of the stickfighting that made me fall in love with respect Teyla would be done in the earlier episodes, when the showing wouldn't be a problem. Otherwise, we may get some upper torso shots of RL and the rest are her stunt double. I'm not ready to give up on the idea of stickfighting yet.
Second about the rapefic- yuck! I'm glad I've never read any or I'd throw myself out the window. I think if it's our pal Mike, it'd be in vitro, and it'd be a violation, not a ship. I do see him maybe doing something like this, experimenting on her, to punish her for her betrayal, since he's got an unhealthy fixation on her.
Bad!Shep sounds intruiging, but meh. I think the important thing will be how the team treats her.
Although I'm curious how this arc will affect JT, I think the very most important thing is it's Teyla's story. How big a role Sheppard or Ronon will play is interesting, but it's Teyla-centric. I hope that doesn't get lost in any ship!wank in S4.
