1. That's the impression I'm getting from the way the comment was phrased. I'm hoping it was meant as nothing more than "I don't want John and Teyla to get together, and Kanaan is a convenient excuse for keeping Teyla away from John" but the way it was expressed says a lot of things that seem very misogynistic.
2. If I had to pick another two 'shippy moments' for John and Teyla, I'd go with the moment after the headtouch in 'Return I' when John murmurs "Take care," to Teyla. The words are a private message he shares with Teyla that he doesn't share with Ronon - not even a grip of forearms and an injunction to look after himself, which I would have expected.
The other one would be 'Doppelganger' before the hug, when John gets up off his bed to go to Teyla. The hug itself is one friend to another and shows John's difficulty with closeness on an emotional-physical level. But John going to see Teyla when he's not sure if she'll even want to see him - that says "moving outside of my emotional comfort zone in a very confronting, very personal way" to me. John stretches himself physically for his team - no probs; but in this situation, he steps outside of familiar emotional space for Teyla. I can't, offhand, recall him doing that for anyone else in the show.
Not exactly shippy moments, but then, I have unusual ideas of what is 'shippy'. *g*
3. Yeah, I hearkened back to "a relationship between a white man and a black woman must be abusive" c/o that person who ranted about Firefly and Joss Whedon's wife.
