or if I think it hits every perfect mark on every existing issue
This.
There was a bit of an outburst against TPTB in Season Four. The fans in question got stuck on the idea that Teyla being pregnant was 'lesser'. Any encouragement she offered, any emotional support, any knowledge or diplomatic skill she presented didn't count; she was pregnant and, if you listened to the rhetoric, you could be forgiven for thinking that being pregnant meant she was no longer a strong female character.
it is a bit of a bummer to not be able to share the joy with people I've been used to sharing the joy with.
Yes. That's probably the hardest thing: to have people who you used to squee with just vanish. :(
