Then some people thought it should become canon and it quickly became much less fun.
I have to say, that's pretty much what put me off Shep/Weir: the shippers. :-/
Not that the John/Teyla fans are pure as the driven snow in that respect: there've been some who I've wanted to take a brickbat to. I'm sure that there are some J/T fans who want to take a brickbat to me!
Someone timed both hugs? Really? Have they nothing better to do?
I hate to break this to you, but this is a fandom that developed as an off-shoot of SG1 fandom, where someone once counted up the number of minutes their favourite character had in an episode and then complained that he didn't have enough screen time.
So, yes. Fannish nature being what it is, I'm fairly certain some Shweir somewhere timed the hug and is either "triumphing" that Shep isn't as enthusiastic in his acceptance of Teyla's hug, or doesn't really want to hug her, or took longer to hug her back than he did to hug Elizabeth.
