Okay, shot in the first five minutes...looks like that's Teyla's appearance for the episode.
Once again, mentioning Kanaan, but no actual showing.
Good grief! They're actually using Pegasus natives they've used in the past! For all of five seconds!
LOL. I do love that they start off without asking. And that the doors open automaticall to John. Nice moment with Teyla's choice.
Aww. John, that was MEAN! Leaving Woolsey in the room.
Interesting: Atlantis as the perceived enemy.
New actor for Solen Sincha. Differences between Satedan philosophy and TAthosian? Survive at all costs, vsdeath before dishonour. This would be the point to tell Tyre that he's been through the withdrawl before.
That's not Todd, is it?
The Yorkie! And Teyla's expression is just, uh, oookay. And Woolsey is cute.
You know, it would figure that this story would pretty much both confirm and wreck my Big Bang premise. The feeding-rejuvenating cycle? Now I'm feeling like I didn't put enough of the enzyme withdrawl in. And you just know that someone's going to come along and whine, "You didn't do it right! In 'Broken Ties' it shows that..."
Okay, so the John/Teyla shippers are in the cold for the moment. But, you know, Kanaan is a thousand, thousand times better than Pete. At least he's not a stalker! And I like that he's supportive and encouraging to her - it fits with what (little) we know of Kanaan - that he's a quiet leader who isn't inclined the same way as Teyla.
Oh, Rodney, you talk a lot. Too much. I keep expecting them to use Teyla in some way regarding the Wraith. It's kinda depressing that they never do.
Brilliant acting by Jason; and I do love the final montage. Teyla and Kanaan and their son; Rodney and his bathtub, John and Ronon and the sword. (Was it Tyre's sword or Ronon's?)
I guess that now, in addition to "Teyla decides to leave the expedition after 'The Return'" for Big Bang 2009, we can expect, "Teyla decides to be a full-time mother to her son after 'Broken Ties.'" Naturally, these shall be the only two options that mention Teyla at all. Apparently Teyla staying in Atlantis and doing significant, action-oriented stuff is quite completely out of the "what if" options.
It would be nice if Teyla's "B-plots" involved the city a bit more. Her B-plots are always more about the division between Atlantis and her people than about something that concerns the city. Hell, it would be nice if Teyla had B-plots more often.
I'm really not huffed about Teyla/Kanaan. I mean, I still prefer John/Teyla and I'm not about to go all "YAY! Teyla is nowtotally in love with someone who isn't John forever and ever forever in love with one man and if she dares rest her eyes on anyone else she is a terrible slut subverting her true nature!" But I can accept a guy for her who's got her interests at heart. I was never inclined to particularly like Pete Shanahan in SG1, but I was willing to accept him until his introduction turned me completely off the idea. BLECH.
But Kanaan is lovely. (So far. I don't trust TPTB not to make him manic at some point. Oh the dwama.)
Darlings, I'll take Kanaan for Teyla over Pete for Sam anyday! Plus, we got Sam/Jack in the end. There's always hope! :D
Incidentally, which interview mentioned a John/Teyla/Kanaan love triangle? Did any of them? I remember reading it somewhere, but I don't remember where.
I had other thoughts on this episode, but I've forgotted them.
On the whole, I thought it was a good ep. The 'Ronon' eps usually are, I've noticed. They only have one a season, but they but their belly and gut into it, and by God, it shows! Now if they'd only put another episode in there in addition to the one-Ronon episode, one-Teyla episode that they feel they 'must' do each season - I'll call it the "Teyla and Ronon save the day because they're Pegasus natives." I'll have one of those, thanks - something even more obvious than Tabula Rasa.
