I'm non-plussed by Kanaan. When they introduced him I was like WTF? But he was a necessary plot development because of Rachel's real life situation, which is fine as far as plot goes. But there are HUGE inconsistencies between the back half of season 4 and S&R.
S4 Teyla's hell bent on finding him, then S&R she doesn't give a damn if they leave him behind. It's only when they bump into him that she considers helping him. Maybe there was a scene that ended up on the cutting room floor about it, but it just seemed very... contradictory to what we had already seen, you know?
And is Kanaan a goodie or a baddie? (in layman's terms). Because, if he's a baddie he's not a very good one. Same goes for if he's a goodie. If Michael has control over him, why was he able to help Teyla without Michael stopping him? Unless, of course, Michael has to make a conscious effort to connect to him.
And is Kanaan willing to help Teyla, or the baby? Is Michael letting Teyla get away and that's why Kanaan was able to help her? It's all very confusing.
I would like to see Kanaan stick around as a sorted out human because it would be nice to see that kind of consistency with the Teyla character. But if the end of S&R, where Kanaan doesn't even get a mention never mind screen time, is anything to go by, I doubt he'll be in it past The Seed.
