Truly told, I don't think anything has actually "boded well" for Shep/Weir since day one.
The interactions of John towards Elizabeth and Elizabeth towards John have been pretty much identical to their interactions with other characters of the opposite sex. Elizabeth acts flirty with all the guys - you said so yourself in chat the other night. John hovers between flirty-challenging with the women, casually friendly, and emotionally uncertain.
Then, too, I distinctly recall an interview with Joe Flanigan, where he said that Sheppard and Teyla have significant chemistry and the show was written that way. Since he plays John Sheppard, I'm inclined to take his word on the matter of romantic/emotional chemistry.
So I probably wouldn't say that John/Teyla is solely in the minds of TPTB.
