rare! pics of Rachel at a convention!

Here @ winter_elf's LJ .

She got annoyed by the John/Teyla questions - apparently there were many of them (probably not as many as she thought - that which annoys always seems disproporitionaltely greater than it truly is). I'd probably have gotten annoyed too - but I'd have understood why they were asking.

I can't say I wouldn't have asked, either - although my question would have been 'why?'

Just looking at these pics, I'm reminded once again of the fact that Rachel is beautiful and sweet and lively, and none of this was allowed to show in Teyla, or written into her character, or permitted rein. And while I love Rachel for being sweet and very patient with her fans, I kinda wish she'd had a bit more inclination to smack TPTB upside the head for ignoring her perfectly good character in favour of newbies and guest characters and everyone but her.
