I hope its alright to add a comment here. I enjoyed your thoughts on BT. I really enjoyed the ep as a whole and the acting across the board was excellent. And they sold me on Woolsey (at least for now).
I have to admit that this episode did upset me on the JT front. Not that I don't love the show, love Teyla (who is one of the most powerful female role models on tv at presnt IMHO) and the rest outside of the ship. But, what upset me was that I felt for John. After S&R's opening scene (and opening scene of the season) it feels even heavier that she is now with Kanaan. So I feel for John as a charcter. I like that they wanted to give teyla a 'happy ending' with her 'family' (as Joe M put it in his blog)and even found myself liking Kanaan as a kind supportive character. On the intimacy question - wasn't that a double bed behind them though? It struck me as new larger quarters made for two, or was that just me? And Kanaan just walked into the room, he didn't activate the chimes, which suggests to me that they are living together. Anyway, I still am not convinced that Kanaan is here to stay (this is stargate after all) and have to wonder what will happen when Michael turns up, but at least as you say we get some great Teyla character development out of the deal.
