I'm slightly curious.
I'm asking the multishippers rather than the OTPers since I think that most of you have a reasonable grasp on sanity and less of a vested interest in the Shep/Weir (or Shep/McKay) vs. Shep/Teyla question.
What's the general response (yours and your f-list's) to 'The Long Goodbye' with regards to the 'ship question'?
I'm curious because I've already found several 'justification for Shep/Weir at expense of Shep/Teyla' posts, and I'm wondering if this attitude is very prevalent in the fandom - I keep meeting people who don't like Shep/Teyla or Teyla. Sometimes the dislike is in canon, sometimes it's in fanon, and sometimes it's both in canon and in fanon.
Mostly, I'm curious about how widespread these opinions are.
I'm also wondering if I want to stick around in a fandom that's going to get into another set of stupid ship wars.
Okay, the way the writers handle relationships (and some storylines) isn't exactly the best thing since sliced bread, but I'm used to it after 5 years of Stargate. Suspension of disbelief, anyone?
Incidentally, if you want to leave your brief on Long Goodbye below, go for it.
