I do think that being a mother has changed some of Teyla's priorities - where she might have been more proactive before, it makes sense that her son would make her more cautious.
Or, it's a convenient way of not giving Teyla anything to do.
I wish the writers had made them a little more caring.
Yeah, this exactly. I don't know if this is typical of the show now, but it feels like some of the fanfics I've read where John's only allowed to be 'friends' with Rodney. He's very formal and distant with Teyla and Ronon - there's no sense of friendship or intimacy there.
No, it's not a new phenomenon that women must be something while men can simply be. That never makes it less frustrating, though.
I'd be interested in seeing what you come up with.
