since we've never ever seen any interactions with this 'love' except for zombie!Kanaan, I'm not really buying the love of her life thing
Yeah, I'm with that. Honestly, I can believe she cared about him as a friend, he made a move (under the aegis of Michael's influence? Now that's an interesting - and potentially loaded - question) and she accepted.
RL's even described it as being in a situation where one chooses what is familiar, even as one is attracted to what is different. I can't remember the precise context, but I believe she implied that, to Teyla, John was the attractive but different, while Kanaan was the safe and familiar.
The Teyla hooking up with John thing wasn't in the spoilers, it was in the comments. You know, people saying "I hope that we get Sheppard/Teyla moments" and other people jumping on them to protest that they don't want Sheppard/Teyla moments.
And all this makes me think of an ad: "Instant slut! Just add Sheppard!"
*coughs*
Honestly, I was seriously worried about the ep. "Michael" was more about Michael than it was about Teyla, and I could see the same thing happening in "The Queen" - I had this idea that Atlantis would try subverting a Wraith Queen...
Now, I'm only mildly worried. *g* My main concern is that Teyla will end up as a victim character needing to be saved (again).
I'd love it if the cavalry came too late, and found Teyla and Todd waiting for them after everything. "You're too late for the action. We dealt with it all." "But we worried about you!" "Your worry is appreciated but unnecessary." "So I see."
(Hey, Sheppard got to save himself in Common Ground. Why can't Teyla?)
