Mallozzi and Mullie talk about SGA S4.

OMG! THERE'S A HUG BETWEEN TEYLA AND JOHN, BUT JOHN TAKES LONGER TO PUT HIS ARMS AROUND HER THAN HE DOES WHEN LIZZIE HUGS HIM IN SIEGE III!!1!11 THIS MUST MEAN HE LOVES LIZZIE MORE!

But, in my own mind, the hug looks very serious and Joe Mallozzi talks about 'revelations about relationships' at the same time as the hug. Which, as allisnow points out, might be an editing decision, but which majortrip thinks might be significant. :)

Either way, S4 is definitely back in the "Okay, I'm watching you guys. Let's see what you come up with" column. And yay for more Teyla and Ronon!

*goes to dig out that plotbunny*

Almost totally unrelated, does anyone else think that Robert C Cooper's nose must be fake? Because that nose on his face is just all kinds of wrong!

The fun of being a Sheppard/Weir shipper in the beginning was because it wasn't "canon" as such and we could play around with it with no fear of it being canon. S/T was canon as far as we could see. It was young and it was innocent, and loads of us frolicked around writing fan-fic and having fun.

Then some people thought it should become canon and it quickly became much less fun. And the resulting ship-wars put me off shipping for anyone EVER AGAIN in any tv program (time to stop watching "Bones"), except for fun (Teyla/Rodney be still my beating heart!)

Someone timed both hugs? Really? Have they nothing better to do? Funnily enuf the eppy with that hug in it was the day I stopped liking SGA and watching it seriously.

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!

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.
