Teyla Emmagan/Ronon Dex Ship/Discussion/Appreciation

[ShadowMaat]

Please assume that there will be spoilers, here.

Theirs is apparently a forbidden love. :rolleyes: Just figured I'd give a safe haven to those who might actually support this pairing instead of wanting to hang Dex by his tonsils from the tallest tower in Atlantis. :P

Plus, ya know, now that someone's gone and mentioned it, I'm sure there are a few going, "Teyla and Dex... huh. Never thought of it. Not a bad pairing."

It's a bit hard to tell anything without having seen Dex, but from descriptions, it sounds as if both he and Teyla are leaders of their people. If the pics are anything to judge by, Dex is also enough of a "warrior" to give Teyla a run for her money. And they both seem to be cursed with silly outfits.

With so much in common, how can they possibly fail to get together?? :P

Consider this a "protected" thread: pro comments ONLY. No coming here to bash the pairing, no telling folks how much Dex and/or Teyla sucks, no negging people just because you think Teyla/Dex is a bad idea. No negativity!

I think this might be interesting (and it's not just about being a S/W shipper), so I shall be watching with interest. I agree, from the spoilers I've heard of they might have a bit of a vibe

[hollyshannensangel]

Personally, I don't see it, but if they happen *shrugs* no skin off my nose. But like I've said before if they do head for romace, it will be like the Titanic. *snickers* From what I've read Teyla gets a kiss and it might be Dex, can't be certain, but something tells me that it'll be him and if it is him damn he is one lucky man :p :D

[FoolishPleasure]

From the episode pics I've seen, they look well together, and he obviously can give her a run for her money with the stick fighting. :D

We'll have to see how the actual chemistry works out once we see them together in a few episodes. R. Dex does seem cool though - I've been rather bored with Teyla so maybe new characters will give her more spark as well.

[skye1974]

Theirs is apparently a forbidden love.
BWAH!!

Although I'd rather see Dex paired with me, I could get down with a Teyla/Dex ship.

[LittleKnux2008]

Teehee :p Not yet, I don't want to hang him from his toenails. But good idea... :rolleyes: Just kiddin!


Plus, ya know, now that someone's gone and mentioned it, I'm sure there are a few going, "Teyla and Dex... huh. Never thought of it. Not a bad pairing."

*raises hand* :D Consider me one of the few. I don't know if I'll be shipping Teyla/Dex in the future, but it certainly is interesting. I can't wait to see their on-screen chemistry (if there is any, ;) )


And they both seem to be cursed with silly outfits.

:D Too true!

[Tomcatter]

Plus, can't go wrong with two aliens, for lack of a better word. Them aliens got to stick together! I think it'd be more natural for two people of the Pegasus galaxy to be in a relationship than two people from different galaxies, because there'd be more in common.

[CaptainStigmata]

I think Teyla and Dex look really good together. I like Teyla/Shep, but I also support Teyla/Dex. I get around :)

[Purpleyin]

Theirs is apparently a forbidden love. :rolleyes: Sorry, just got a Willow/Angel flashback there (season 2 Buffy...).

Anyway on the possibility of Ronon/Teyla. Sure, why not - I'd be happy with most ships if they're written well and who knows maybe TPTB might manage it. And if they chose to try this one it might be the guinea pig ship. :D I can't say for sure I'd like it or if they'd go together but that's only because we haven't seen Dex at all yet. Still I'm a crazy shipper, I'd give anything a go until it's proven not to work. Now imagine the possibilities of Shep/Teyla/Dex. ;)

[Shonaille]

Im already excited about RD and I think he'd be good for Teyla in that we would get to see more of her character but im not for romance. Ronan is a new character and Teyla is underdeveloped so romance this season would be detrimental to both characters.
I think the only show where the ship worked for me was Farscape. I have a long list of shows that have suffered or been destroyed by pairing up main characters but Im all for UST bcse its a lot hotter :p

[prion]

Mandeep

Heh. I'm actually waiting to SEE the character before deciding if there's any chemistry with him or anyone (believe me, how long will it be before ShepDex fic starts up???) This sorta reminds me of the "McKay is dating the psychologist!" stuff that came up off of spoilers, when in fact, he was just trying to hide the fact he was seeing the psychologist.... ;)

[ShadowMaat]

Yeah, and not seeing the psychologist. ;)

[Melyanna]

Not sure if I'm shipping this or not, but this is an intriguing pairing just from pictures. What I've seen in the sides also indicates that TPTB are playing with this dynamic a lot.

I think what I like best in the possibilities of this is the fact that Ronon and Teyla aren't the leads. Because of that, both characters would have to be fleshed out in order for a romance to be believable and appealing to the audience. A romance between two leads wouldn't have that problem because ostensibly the leads are already developed characters on their own, but when it's a lead and a supporting actor/actress, the supporting character can seem like a bit of candy tossed in the lead's direction. And since I'm all about getting Teyla more character development, Teyla/Ronon is an interesting possibility. If Jason Momoa is worth his salt, Ronon's going to be a neat character, and I like this particular idea for him.

Plus it gets away from the Earth guy hooks up with alien babe cliché. :rolleyes:

I hadn't thought of it in that way. Also, everything you've said would apply if they go for buddy/buddy rather than ship. I feel that the buddy relationships Jack-Daniel , Jack-Teal'c McKay-Shep and Sam-Janet, for instance, have given those six characters a lot of development and depth. There are some M-F platonic relationships around, but few of them have really been built up in the way that the same sex ones have. One that got some focus would be nice.

Platonic Teyla&Dex would be a nice opportunity for a buddy relationship. They have more in common with each other than with the earthlings, I'm guessing, and I can see them gravitating towards each other. Which has this post heading back towards T/D ship. My inclination is to be wary of any ship on SG, but as potential ships go, this one is much less worrying than any other possibility I can think of. And yes, I know I might change my mind when I see what Dex turns out like, but this time last year I was VERY agin any S/T, S/W or any of the other rumoured ships, while with T/D my *slight* wariness is tempered with a feeling that it might turn out to be quite a believable ship.

[Osiris-RA]

Ooh, can I hop on this ship? :D
*ahem* [big announcement] Well, I think they look good together. :D

[FoolishPleasure]

Just watched the SciFi channel and Ronon is definitely hot stuff! Plus, Rachel said, "Is Teyla going to have a romance with John Sheppard? Or our new Ronon Dex?.

So. .TPTB are considering this ship. Sounds like it will be an interesting season. :D

[joebags]

I like Teyla and I with Dex they do look hot together. Rachel did hint at it on the special last night. The Sheppard and Teyla thing is sort of gross, and I don't want any romance stuff with anybody, but in the preview Dex and Teyla, hmmm. Maybe. Will wait and see.

[skye1974]

The Sheppard and Teyla thing is sort of gross
Let me just preface this question by saying that I'm not strong advocate of any ship, but why is Sheppard/Teyla gross, but Teyla/Dex alright?

[John&Teylaalltheway]

Thank you for saying this .. :eek:
If this post is to kept respectful and not offend any fanbase why allow this kind of post it it ?
I'm sure there are those open to seeing Teyla with either man so for the ones who enjoy her with either Dex or Shep this can be considered disrespectul ..

I wasn't offended by joebags' post and didn't see anything wrong with what the poster said (although, I did think "gross" was a strange choice of words). I am genuinely curious as to why he/she feels that way, that's all.

[FoolishPleasure]

I don't think joebags was disrespectful, just a non-shipper. But this isn't a anti-T/S thread, it is pro-T/D.

We really need to actually see a T/D episode before we can truly judge any chemistry between them, and that isn't going to be for a few more weeks, which is probably about the time I go on vacation. :rolleyes:

[Lida]

I have to admit, I'm not a strong advocate of ship either, unless it is an integral part of the plot, or it it adds to the storyline. Ship for ship's sake is not my thing. I don't watch SG-1 or SGA for that.

That being said, IF something develops between Teyla and Dex, and it fits into the entire storyline, great. If not, that's fine too. Guess we just wait and see. ;)

[penny]

hmm well i'm curious because in the insider it looked like a love triangle might happen considering dex has been living on the run and alone for 7 years and teyla is pretty who knows cant wait for runner!!

[coolove]

I think it would be interesting to see how Ronon and Teyla play out if Rachel's indicication in the Scifi Inside special is on par. I'm more inclined to see these to together rather then T/S but I don't watch these shows for relationships either.

[Dorka]

I know it's a bit stereotyped, but as I saw Ronon and Teyla stand side by side the first time, I thought...wow...what a great couple they would be :D Ronon is really HOT!!!! I haven't yet seen Siege 3 but looking forward to it, not just because Shweir, but the first interaction between Ronon and Teyla ;)

[Melyanna]

Ronon actually doesn't appear until the third episode, Runner. Trust me, there was no way they could have crammed his introduction into that episode. It was bursting at the seams as it was.

[Dorka]

Funny, he appeared in a German Homepage as a performer, from the beginning of the 2. season.... then we will have to wait... main thing is that he will be hopefully great :D

[Droops]

I'm beginning to warm to the idea of this ship. It might be the ONLY ship that I'd like to see. I'm not a big ship fan, but if Dex turns out to be the rough tough character towards which he seems to be building, then the two of them could be quite interesting to put together. Tough, rough, and sometimes cold, but warm towards each other. It would be a lot of fun I think!

[Blue007]

Maybe down the road some of these people will come together, but I think now they are working so hard just to live day to day. If they do start pairing off, I hope they take things slow and don't jump from one to the other. If Teyla and Dex work out, that would be fine, at some point....

[Lida]

Well, the character of Ronan Dex has been described as having a dry sense of humor, and not afraid to speak his mind. Teyla has already shown us SHE isn't afraid to speak her mind, but her sense of humor has yet to be fully explored, shall we say? ;)

But, you never know.....look at Novak and Hermy. Who'd have guessed? :p :D

(And Blue, congrats on NOW being Jaffa fodder, you are moving on up! ;) )

[FoolishPleasure]

I've seen discussion on this potential "ship" in several threads and figured I'd bring this one back up so folks actually have spot to discuss it. :)

[Droops]

No comments on this after Runner? You've got to be kidding me! Their interaction is already showing serious glimmers of ship here. I think they look good together.

[ShadowMaat]

Well, they did exchange some very meaningful looks in Runner. :D And while Teyla may have ostensibly been looking at his feeding scar, methinks she was also ogling his manly chest. :P

I dunno if I have to worry about spoilers with it implied in the subject line, but I'm playing better safe than sorry until someone tells me different. ;)

I do have to say that I think Teyla and Dex had more chemistry in their few brief scenes together than I've EVER seen between Teyla and Shep. Maybe she's found her match. :)

[Hatcheter]

I do have to say that I think Teyla and Dex had more chemistry in their few brief scenes together than I've EVER seen between Teyla and Shep.

I'll have to agree with that. Whether this is ship material or not remains to be seen, IMO, but I'm at least looking forward to seeing how the characters interact.

I tmight be kind of amusing to see Teyla helping Ronon adjust to being around so many strange, "alien" people, particularly unique ones like Sheppard and McKay. :cool:

I think you're right. Given the preview scenes that we got for next week's (this week's!) episode, I think Teyla has definately met her match. It should be interesting to watch.

[xkawaiix]

Hi all! I'm new to this Thread but a do see a certain connection between Dex and Teyla. When they were talking to each other in Runner, there was a sort of understanding between both of them. I think that they go good together and I know it might seem a bit cliche-ish, but there is something there.

[Dorka]

After watching Runner, I definitely have to say, there IS a possible Ship! Sparkling eyes...YES that's it! Ronon is amazing and I think Teyla needs someone who a bit related to her, and Ronon is definitely! Now, I'm shipping for 2 couples... don't know if it's good or bad :-/

[FoolishPleasure]

Heres a Dex interview http://www.jasonmomoa.com/interview/interview.htm it has his thoughts on Teyla/Dex
Don't forget that the cast says what TPTB want them to say - all interviews have to be approved by the infamous PTB. Earlier this year Joe Flanigan did an interview where he said Season 2 would have no soap opera-type romances. .now he admits there will be LOTS of romance on SGA this year. :rolleyes:

If they intend to have romance for Ronon/Teyla, they sure aren't going to announce it immediately. They learned their lesson with Shep/Teyla when the show began.

[ShadowMaat]

And I say again that AT was rather adamant about not becoming "Jack's girl" and yet... look what happened.

Just because people swear up and down something will never in a million years happen doesn't mean that it won't happen. Hell freezes over on a regular basis in the world of television. :)

[Qasim]

I didnt say take his words literally I was just letting you know he had done an interview and teyla/dex came up

[Blue007]

Never say never...but could we wait a few years before cupids arrows start flying...please, they have their hands full with fighting the Wraith. I love the love thing..or hookin' up or whatever, but not so soon :S

I don't know this could be a 'rough' relationship in the making. He's already had her tied up and as a hostage, and this week it looks like they'll be doing the stick fighting stuff.

Stranger relationships HAVE blossomed from such madness.

Like Vala and Daniel. Well, not really a 'personal' relationship but more of a 'friendship'.

mmmm...sometimes there is a fine line between love and hate. The possablities are endless. :)

[FoolishPleasure]

After watching, "Duet" I did see a lot of interest between Teyla and Dex. Not necessarily "ship". . but an understanding. They are both strangers in a strange land and they have a lot in common. It was interesting the TPTB had Ronon go into her private bedroom. . where her attire was VERY casual (but would be in such an environment) to have his "apology" talk. I actually found it to be a very nice scene.

With someone for Teyla to bond with, we just might learn more of her culture as well as Ronon's. . and maybe I'll even start liking her a bit more.

[Whistler84]

What I found so surprising about Duet was
that Dex actually went out of his way to talk with Teyla. To every other person, he was nearly non-verbal, and at times I swore he just wanted to grunt his responses instead of saying words. He actually strikes up a conversation with her, asking her stuff, and that's definately something he did with no one else.

Although at this point, its WAY TOO EARLY for them to be shipping, I'm surprised that the PTB are making such an effort to make a connection between these two characters. I suppose it would be natural, considering they're the resident aliens, but still, I certainly didn't expect them to push it so quickly. I'm still holding reservations about Dex/Teyla, but it might be more interesting than I originally gave it credit for.

Yeah, for some reason I was expecting John to check up on Teyla after the sparring incident, but I though it was sweet that Dex went out on his way to apologies to her. I thought that was sweet.

[ShadowMaat]

Regardless of whether or not they wind up as a couple, I think the two of them have great onscreen chemistry. Very natural and built on apparent mutual respect. THAT I can definitely appreciate. :)

And did anyone else think that Shep came off a bit like a jealous boyfriend during the Dex/Teyla fight? He was all grumpy that she started without him... and with Dex... and he was all protective about how Dex was treating her, too. LOL! GO DEX! :P

[Blue007]

I thought Dex taught Teyla a very vaulable lesson...Never let your guard down, and never let yourself be distracted. No matter what...

[Melyanna]

(Did we decide whether or not this thread needs spoiler tags right now?)

I thought the episode was interesting for these two. We got some nice development for Ronon, and I actually enjoyed seeing Teyla with him. (This is a big step for me, folks. ;) ) I was particularly impressed by the scene in Teyla's bedroom, since Ronon didn't strike me as the type who would apologize to her.

I've been thinking about the gym scene, though, and it occurred to me that perhaps this is Ronon's way of showing respect, which is very different from John's. In The Gift, when Teyla was obviously distracted, John didn't try to beat up on her and was rather unnerved when he was so easily able to throw her around. He wanted to stop; it was she who wanted to continue. This may be reading way too much into it, but it occurs to me that Ronon would see it as more of an affront to her to go easy on her, especially when she told him not to. She let her guard down, so he took advantage of it. Apologizing for it later seemed a little strange to me, but I think it was more an excuse to talk to her and ask her why she stayed in Atlantis.

[xkawaiix]

Yeah, I think it was more of a sign of respect to continue fighting than to stop and go easy on her because I think that Dex thought that it would have been like saying, 'You're really not worthy of feeling my full wrath so I'll just go easy on you' or something like that.

[ShadowMaat]

Shep treats her like a girl.

Ronon treats her like a warrior.

That's how I see it, anyway.

[xkawaiix]

Ronon treats her like a warrior.

That's how I see it, anyway.

I think more like an equal but same thing right? :D And I hate being treated like a girl. It's like, they're expecting you to break. :rolleyes:

[Cathain Nottingham]

I can see it - my dad even commented in "Runner"!

Anyway I'm not a huge Teyla / Shep girl but I could see a triangle between Ronan, Teyla and Shep. Ronan offers things to Teyla that no guy on Atlantis does, 1 - someone who understands growing up with the Wraith threat 2 - he's much more primal than the military / scientist boys of Atlantis, think of it in a "Broca Divide" sense, Ronan probably give her the best offspring.

[Droops]

Shep treats her like a girl.

Ronon treats her like a warrior.

That's how I see it, anyway.

Well said. There's a level of respect when one treats another as an equal. That's what we saw here IMO.

[Melyanna]

Shep treats her like a girl.

Ronon treats her like a warrior.

That's how I see it, anyway.
And a very good way of seeing it that is, Shadow. Sheppard, for all his good soldier/airman qualities, is not really a warrior. He's certainly a fighter, but there's something that sets him apart from Ronon and Teyla.

Anyway, the chemistry in the bedroom scene was hard to ignore. I thought this would be an interesting dyad before, and now I really think it is — especially since it gives Teyla ample room for development.

[FoolishPleasure]

I found it interesting that when speaking to people, Ronon pretty much uses one or two words to get his point across (he doesn't totally trust us yet), but he actually sat down to "talk" to Teyla.

Also was pleased to see Teyla talk about her people for a change. TPTB's decision to not delve further into her culture has been a big mistake. I learned more about how Teyla feels about her people in that one scene with Ronon than I learned in all of season 1.

[Persephone]

There are some M-F platonic relationships around, but few of them have really been built up in the way that the same sex ones have. One that got some focus would be nice.
This is precisely the reason I've never been a fan of Shep/Teyla romantically, because, for whatever reason, the dynamic of their friendship is one of my favorite parts of Atlantis. It reminds me of my relationship with many of my guy friends. Obviously, you were referring to platonic Teyla/ Dex possibilities, but I support your thought wholeheartedly in any case.

As for Teyla/ Dex... lol. I almost feel embarrassed at how speedily I jumped onto this one, but I'm already in love with these two together, from the first held-at-gunpoint on up. I think the bases of why have already been touched upon here, for the most part: Mutual respect, both resident aliens, both having an understanding of the Wraith, both warriors... it's all a good mix, to be sure.

Not sure how accurate it is, but I like the thought that TPTB would want to wait and see how things felt before committing to something. I think part of the problem a lot of Teyla cynics had with her character is that, in the beginning, she was intended to be two things (1) The Hero's piece of alien skirt, and (2) The local expert when exposition stick was needed in that arena. Well, JF and RL had absolutely no sexual chemistry whatsoever (at least not that I could feel, and believe me, I looked long and hard with unbaised eyes), and therefore the whole thing flopped flat on its face.

Whether R/T succeeds or not (and if it doesn't, no, I'm not going to scream and kick and pout), ANY ship for Teyla (and consequently Ronan, too) that treats them as characters rather than clichés has a better chance of working.

As for chemistry, well, I'm definitely feeling it, and enjoying it immensly. And no, it's not just because they're two gorgeous people who "look hot" together. Honestly, if that's how I chose who I shipped for I'd really hate this one, because I'm a tall woman who's often superficially whined about the petite women always seeming to steal the giants. ;) No, rather, I really feel like - for whatever reason - Ronan interacting with Teyla has somehow awakened us all to things about her character that frankly I think are difficult to explain. And likewise she's serving as an excellent sounding board for him.

To sum it all up best (for me) so far, what intrigues me is this: He's very, very dangerous. Yet of all the Atlantis team, she's least afraid, and has this heart of compassion towards him that I've always loved about her.

If nothing else than, yes, I think they'll have a fantastic platonic relationship, but I see promise of a whole lot more.

Also, ShadowMaat, LOL about the silly outfits. :D

I felt the whole Shep/Teyla push was rather embarrassing, and Teyla was only being used as eye candy for the fan boys, but I really got good vibes from the scenes between her and Ronon. We'll see how it pans out in the future. Seems they will have quality time together off world in "Trinity" - that should be a good way to see how they work together.

[Purpleyin]

I found this intriguing fic today, Small by Sache8 (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2522918/1/). I'm not sure it's outright ship but it's an interesting piece, Dex's POV on how different Teyla is to the others and his identifying with her.

[dissie]

I'm all for any ship that frees up John to be with Elizabeth! so GO TEYLA/REX!

[Qasim]

Its Teyla/Dex :)

[Bama]

Just watched the SciFi channel and Ronon is definitely hot stuff! Plus, Rachel said, "Is Teyla going to have a romance with John Sheppard? Or our new Ronon Dex?.

So. .TPTB are considering this ship. Sounds like it will be an interesting season. :D


Yeah, I like it too and not just because it smooches Teyla out of the way for the ship I want the most!

But I won't be happy until I hear either Torri or Joe say, "The producers and writers and directors have all informed us that we will have a deep, loving and lasting relationship of all levels based on mutual respect, honesty, trust, love and sexual attraction."

Yeah, THAT will happen! Right before they announce that they've seen the error of their ways and have decided to add Jonas Quinn to the Atlantis cast. :P

What's that? Ice skating in Hell? :P

[Dorka]

After watching Duet, I think that Teyla is a bit Ronan's attachment-person. He doesn't talk really much, only with Teyla.
They have a lot in common... and how they are looking at each other is really lovely...
Teyla even seemed a bit nervous as he entered her room....sweet :)

[xkawaiix]

yup, I don't think that she was expecting him. ^ ^

[FoolishPleasure]

Its Teyla/Dex :)
I know the world is a bit smitten with "Shex" these days. .but I still like this one. .what are we calling it? "Tex". ."Deyla". . ."Teydex".

I'm confused. *LOL*

[Blue007]

Maybe it's just me...but all I've seen between them is a curiosity...kinda like they have things in common, but I just don't feel the "chemistry" like a love conntection....just a curiosity and ok, I found someone who may understand me...not shooting stars and all that..yet...but they are nice together.

[keshou]

I'm going to tentatively give a thumbs up to Teyla/Dex ship. Not really a shipper - just interested in where they're going with this one.

I definitely saw chemistry in "Duet". Thank goodness. At last. I'm seeing chemistry somewhere - I was beginning to feel like I was terribly deficient in this area! :D

I think Ronon is definitely intrigued with Teyla and she's intrigued with him. Teyla seems to be indulgent towards the other guys - almost sisterly at times - but I'm not seeing anything "sisterly" in the glances she's giving Dex.

If doesn't hurt that these two actors look very, very good together. :D

[Qasim]

The bedroom scene was dynamite especially when he opened the door

[ShadowMaat]

I will not support ANY ship that mutilates the characters' names into some asinine amalgamation. Teyla/Dex or Dex/Teyla. They're whole and separate people, they deserve whole and separate names.

I'm sorry, but I feel very strongly about that. If this thread wants to go down that path, more power to ya, but I won't be going with you.

[xkawaiix]

Tex sounds cool. And it isn't the name of a porn star either! :p :D :D

[Qasim]

Yeah Tex is better than the others

[FoolishPleasure]

The "Tex, "Deyla", etc., names are actually jokes that came from a ship mixing thread. Sheyla is, unfortunately, taken seriously by some Shep/Teyla fans, who obviously haven't "googled" the name. ;)

I actually do prefer using proper names. . Teyla/Ronon, Shep/Weir, Zelenka/Beckett. . .oh, no, no,. . .didn't mean that one. :D

[skye1974]

I'm gonna throw my vote in: Teyla/Dex

[Melyanna]

I'm with Shadow. Name combinations are just stupid in my opinion, and they reduce the characters from the separate entities that they are. Most of them sound ridiculous too. It's not like either of the names involved here take that much effort to type out.

[Melyanna]

The one that really got me was a mod combining "Sam" and "Amanda". So now we're not separating an actor from one character she portrays...? And here I thought we were supposed to be respectful of the actors here at GW. I thought "Benifer" was pretty bad, but I guess there's always one step lower.

[xkawaiix]

I thought the Benifer was stupid... well maybe it's because I don't like Ben Affleck ^ ^

[Lida]

I'm not overly fond of most of the "shipper" names, but hey, can't we just be silly sometimes? No disrespect is intended. If you don't like the combined names, as you obviously don't , just stay off the threads or if you are inclined to post, use the actors or characters full names.

Life is far too short to take everything so seriously. Trust me on that.

As for the Teyla/Dex ship, as was stated by JM in an interview, there won't be one, at least not this season. As I have stated earlier, I'm not overly fond of "ships" on the series, UNLESS they become crucial, integrated parts of the storyline.

Just my opinion.

[Qasim]

As for the Teyla/Dex ship, as was stated by JM in an interview, there won't be one, at least not this season. Could have fooled me it seemed pretty shippy to me :)

[Droops]

Ooookay, we're going to get tense over the names of fictional characters. :cool:

You don't want to amalgamate Momoa and Luttrell, I can respect that. Those are real names of real people.

Dex, Teyla, are characters. They aren't real. They're made up for entertainment. And if folks are entertained by combining names, to denote a coupling of some sort, IMO, it's a fine thing. Fandom thrives on different niches that we all fill in our collective creative minds. Otherwise, what's the point of watching?

I'm just not getting tense over made up names in a science fiction show. :rolleyes:

Thank you, that is all. Don't make me bring out the chickens.

[Qasim]

Don't make me bring out the chickens.I agree wiith what you say and the chickens are always welcome ROFLMAO :)

[ShadowMaat]

I have seen people get far more hysterical over far stupider things than name combinations. I was stating my preference and my reasons.

As for Telya/Dex not happening according to TPTB... :rolleyes: Tell that to the fifteen other unsupported or outright denied shipdoms in this section. Just because TPTB say it isn't going to happen doesn't mean folks can't be all for it... and it doesn't mean that said Powers might not change their minds later.

If folks want to support a ship, let them. If you, generally speaking, DON'T support a ship, then stay away from the thread in question and don't try and discourage the thread's denizens.

Anyway, as I've said before, I can see a lot of chemistry between Teyla and Dex. Whether or not it's romantic is entirely subjective. I can see some potential for sparkage and so far, I like it.

[Droops]

I agree, lots of Dex/Teyla chemistry. Looking forward to seeing how it all plays out.

[Qasim]

Be quiet. . .or the chickens will come out! :eek:

[smallgirl]

And a very good way of seeing it that is, Shadow. Sheppard, for all his good soldier/airman qualities, is not really a warrior. He's certainly a fighter, but there's something that sets him apart from Ronon and Teyla.

ITA. I don't think Sheppard was disrespecting her in 'The Gift' when he backed off because she didn't seem herself. He was used to being beaten by her so he knew something was really wrong with her and therefore wanted to stop. As Mely says, he is a trained fighter not a warrior. Dex and Teyla have known the threat of the Wraith all their lives, they fight to survive not because it's their chosen career path. Sheppard and Teyla's 'stick' fighting is a training exercise and a way of her teaching him something of her culture. If she is off on her game, he's not going to push the issue just to win an exercise. As he said to her in 'Hot Zone' if he really wanted to win in a fight, he'd just shoot her. With Dex and Teyla sharing similar cultural backgrounds the 'stick fighting' is as much a way as communicating as it is about physical exercise. They are showing respect to each other as fellow warriors and inhabitants of the Pegasus Galaxy. So when Teyla told Dex not to go easy on her he would take it very seriously. I imagine Dex apologised to Teyla because of the way Sheppard reacted to the situation. He may have thought he'd done something wrong because Sheppard did. Maybe he assumed Sheppard knew her better because he's known her longer but I imagine that's not the case. I reckon Dex understands how Teyla ticks infinitely better than Sheppard does.

[Whistler84]

I reckon Dex understands how Teyla ticks infinitely better than Sheppard does.

Well said. I didn't really think of this before, but I just suddenly thought of the scene in LFP, where John and Teyla were fighting because they didn't have the same line of thinking in regards to rescueing those people from the wraith. I, personally, came down on Teyla's side. She's suffered a lot because of the Wraith, and seeing a culling and doing nothing to prevent or help the situation would have smarted like h*ll for her. I imagine John really didn't get the full breadth of her emotions regarding this. How could he? He didn't spend all his life under this constant horrible threat. Dex, on the other hand, I bet would have understood *immediately*.

That's why I'm beginning to warm to the idea of a friendship (or possible ship way down the line) between Teyla and Dex. It offers Teyla a companion to relate to. I think, if tptb play this off right, it could actually allow Teyla's character a lot more developement. In that one bedroom scene in Duet, I found out more about her character and her way of thinking than I could have in practically any two other episodes (with some exceptions, of course). I really, really like her character. But she's been underused. If Dex allows her a soundboard to bounce off of, I say go for it.

[Hatcheter]

Perhaps there should be a THEX thread :)

Thor/Dex? Wha?

[FoolishPleasure]

After watching "Condemned" I'm even more convinced these two would work well together. Heck. . the jumper crashes, Teyla is right next to a semi-conscious Sheppard, yet she gets up, turns around and goes straight to Dex. They fight well together, but I don't know how she would deal with Ronon's table manners. :D

[Cathain Nottingham]

I think they're really a pair to watch. I know TPTB are saying a big fat no as is Jason but I think the seed is there for something in the future.

I mean look at X-Files! TPTB said that Mulder and Scully would never get together and yet...

Amanda Tapping used to SWEAR she would never be Jack's girl. Yeah. .right.

[SGLAB]

I really think Ronon's appearance has brought out something interesting in Teyla. I'm starting to warm to her more this season and I think it has a lot to do with the chemistry between these two.

[FoolishPleasure]

I found it interesting in "Condemed", during the jumper crash, that Teyla ended up next to a semi-conscious Sheppard, but ran to the back to ask Ronon if he was ok. Like the big guy can't take care of himself. *LOL*

[Osiris-RA]

Well, I've been lurking. Time to pop out. TEX ROCKS!! :D :D :p

Is it Tex? Maybe Remmagen? Dexagen? Xeyla? :S:S:S:S
Anyhoo, I see no problem with a Teyla/Dex ship! Sheyla's a hit! (besides, it's inevitable with all those 'looks'. My god, he pops up and she's already ogling him? :rolleyes: And did you see how she rushed to his aid when he got shot with the arrow? Certainly not playing hard to get, is she?) :p

[Angelique]

I think Tex sounds a bit like Tex-Mex (mexican food :) )

I loved them in Condemned! I so hope they will find together.
John was the last person Teyla was checking out (even if he would be the most important because he's the Teamleader!)
I love the pic's, have to make Icons of them :)

[*AtlantisFan*]

Hello everyone!!! I'm new to this thread. I think that Teyla and Ronon would make a great pair. :) They do seem to have great chemistry on screen. Also in 'Condemned' When the jumper crashed, the first person that Teyla went to check on was Ronon, also when Ronon had hurt his leg and they get back to the jumper, Teyla makes sure that he rests his foot.

Can't wait for friday to see if there is any good Teyla/Ronon moments.

[ShadowMaat]

Condemned Teyla probably went to Ronon first because she knew he was more of a man than Shep. :P RONON could have cracked that branch over his leg, no problem. ;)

All kidding aside, though, I'm guessing Ronon's strength (and his injury) were both factors in her skipping over Shep to check on the new guy. And the concern/interest/preference could certainly be an indication of... something more. :D

That's right! Oh hey speaking of that When Ronon gets the arrow through the leg - was there a reaction on Teyla's part? I think I was just as surprised as McKay when he ripped it out!

I think so I mean it must've hurt... hell, it's gotta hurt pulling an arrow out of you're leg. x.x;

[ohshocking]

I've not been around on GW much recently, but I've really got into this pairing :). They have brilliant chemistry! I just wanted to let people know that I've made a Teyla/Ronon livejournal community, in case any one on here has a livejournal and would like to join :). It's called teyla_ronon (http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=teyla_ronon) and that link will take you to the info (which I've hastily scrambled together, if the community starts gettting members I'll re-do things :))

Hope to see some of you over there!

I'm with you Blue.....I've watched the epi's twice, since Runner, and I don't see any special "chemistry" between Teyla and Dex.....I do see Teyla being her usual nurturing, sweet self, but she is like that towards everyone, even Rodney, when he's hurt. ;)

OK, I'll look harder tonight.....even if I can't burn a DVR.....I'll watch it twice in one evening....and wait for the rerun. Maybe my DVR will be working by then. :(

I don't really feel a need to justify my seeing chemistry between them when I'm here posting on a pro ship thread. I see it, I like it, and contrary to MOST shippy moments I'm subjected to on Stargate, I actually don't mind the idea of Teyla/Dex as a romantic pair.

I look forward to many more warm fuzzy moments between them. :)

I'm with you on that Shadow, I think out of both SG shows they're the most natural pair that have had that spark since the first moment.

Wow, and I mean WOW!!! 'Trinity' seals it. These two are definately made for each other. Dex's compatriot even said so! And they're sharing secrets now. She put him in bed. I mean, what else do you want?

Great Teyla/Dex episode tonight.

[rankBunnie]

I believe in Dexla!

Or maybe Texla!

Or Teyex!

They all sound names for constipation medicine. :(

Hmm, Remmmagen does kinda roll of ze tounge eh? :p

Hey, I'm noting a slight Dex/Food thing going on - but then the universe has caught onto that ship, I'm sure. :rolleyes: :p

I liked the part when Teyla had to drag poor stoned Dex back to his room. Hehe, she didn't topple under his wheight. Nice to see a chick who can pick something up. :p

Omg, it's 2. This is ghastly. Nite all!! :D

(miss ya Ang! Where are ya in chat??? *glares mournfully*)

[Hatcheter]

Whether or not there's a romantic relationship between the two, I think adding Dex to the cast is already paying dividends for Teyla's character development. Dex gives her someone to relate to, someone she can communicate with on subjects she is familiar with, rather than on obscure, random references to a far off place.

Ronon and Teyla have both suffered at the hands of the Wraith - which is why she backed down when Ronon explained why he shot his "friend".

It is something their human friends in Atlantis probably won't (or can't) understand, which is why they now have a "secret". They have a "bond" between them now. Will be interesting to see how the writers move forward with this.

[girlgater]

In terms of Trinity, what was up with Ronan's comment on bringing the bare minimum (in terms of weapons). He had such a grin on his face I couldn't help but read more into it than was probably there. What does everyone else think?

Oh yeah, there was a twinkle in his eye all right. And what about the fact that she agreed to keep what he did a secret! She doesn't want him to get in trouble - can you say awwww!

[Ses]

After Trinity; all I can see re Teyla/Dex: Squeee! They were so flirting at the beginning!

[girlgater]

Oh yeah, there was a twinkle in his eye all right. And what about the fact that she agreed to keep what he did a secret! She doesn't want him to get in trouble - can you say awwww!

Yep, sharing secrets has a way of bringing people closer together. I can definitely see this picking up speed rather quickly. The flirting is quite obvious. If you ask me, I'd say they are both starving for acceptance, friendship and eventually, love.

Yep I agree. I can see TPTB Making the secret come up again, having Teyla and Ronon having to sneek around and sort of deal with it, making them even closer as they try to hide the death.

[*AtlantisFan*]

Loved 'Trinity' such a great Teyla/Ronon episode, there's definetly some chemistry there. there was definetly some flirting going on and what about that comment about them being together and then teyla says that they are just friends Can't wait for next week hopefully some more Teyla/Ronon moments

I have to agree - Dex is doing wonders for Teyla's character. I really like the fact that she now has someone she can relate to about her life experiences. I think that's why one of my favorite things in "Trinity" was when she told Ronon that she understood why he would shoot (what's-his-name?), but that the others would not. Aside from the fact that they are now sharing a secret, I think that line summed up the importance of their similar experiences living under the Wraith, and the connection they share because of it.

Also, I loved that she was able to slam him against the wall and put a knife to his throat so quickly. It was a very smooth move, reminding us again that we're dealing with two fighters.

It also helps that I see chemistry between them - some good sparkage there. So count me among the Teyla/Dex shippers. :D

He is doing wonders for Teyla's character. I liked how Ronon called Teyla before she left while he was drunk. I didn't catch what he was mummbling. All I heard was something about 300. Was he talking about his people?
I also think that it was great how they understand each other. "I probably would have done the same thing." I was shocked though, on how Dex used Teyla like that. :eek: :eek:

Very good look on tust, that episode was. :D :D

[Shipperahoy]

As someone who was against shipping on Atlantis after getting burned with SG-1 I was surprised at how immediately I saw chemistry between those two. I recently started seeing some Shep/Weir ship but it took me over a season. Ronan sort of acts like an eager puppy with her a lot of the time. She seems to be the only one he actually relaxes around and lwith whom he loses that stoic warrior attitude. I just hope that there isn't much more of that "us against them" feeling that there was last night. While I think I would enjoy these two characters in romantic relationship I don't want it at the detriment of the team, which sometimes happened on SG-1.

Oooohh, nice! And big for a change! shippy shippy SHIPPY!!! :D:D:D

Yep, it sure looks shippy to me!

[Cathain Nottingham]

Yep, it sure looks shippy to me!

Yep - I love the fact in the first one that Ronon (aka Jason) is so much taller than Teyla (aka Rachel)! But the looks she gives him are priceless! The first "look" sets up for the other two where poor Ronon looks so lost!

[cybergaki]

I have tried to deny this Teyla/Dex ship, being a pro Shex shipper. But I just watched the Dex episodes again and I have to admit it. Yes, there is chemistry there. Definite sparkage and from the preview stills I've seen of Instinct, it looks like the chemistry will continue. And as has been noted...they make a good match. *sigh* Not that I am giving up the joy of Shex...and I guess time will tell.

I know what you mean, I swore I'd stop seeing ship this season and then Ronon came onto SGA. There's just no denying it.

[Cathain Nottingham]

Does anyone know of any Teyla / Dex stories? I can't find one on Fanfiction.net or one here on Gateworld - surely there has to be some written...

There is some fanfic, but not a lot yet. The site has only been open about a week or two so keep checking back. There are some icons, a vid or two as well.

I love this one - boy does she put him in place with one look!

[FoolishPleasure]

I like the way Teyla can calm Ronon down - as when he pointed his gun at poor little Elia.

It was also interesting how when Teyla was knocked unconscious and Sheppard ran off and left Ronon to watch her. . and he stuffed the jacket under her head. .AWWWW.

Those two continue to look good together, and share little secrets. ;)

But boys are boys...
When she says its their choice to disobey orders and Ronon goes "Good enough for me." And hops over her body to go find Sheppard. He might be tall, dark and extremely handsome but he's still a boy. Give him a chance to play with his gun and he's out the door :D

[Gate Trippin']

Arrgh! The last thing I need to do become obsessed with another ship but after tonight's eppy it might become impossible :o

Undeniably chemistry—their scenes were just so sweet and they have this feral, sexy way of scutinizing each other that I find compelling.:p They need to stop it right now! I already spend way too much time on GW as it is...

Nope! We've sucked you in! *insert evil laugh* No but really? Definate feral / sexy chemistry. I think its how sweet Rachel is and the sort of grace that she brings to Teyla in combination with Jason's rugged and sly looks and the wounded heart he brings to Ronon.

[girlgater]

I just love the idea of Teyla and Ronan getting together. They make such an great couple--they are alike (sharing past Wraith encounters), but yet different. I liked last night's epsiode and it further convinced me that this ship will come in...

[Angelique]

He didn't even argue with Shep to go! He wanted to stay with Teyla! :D

Someone mentioned this on the LJ Teyla / Ronon board so I felt I should share...

Sure I'll shrink and concerning the 'rating' of the forum, I didn't mean anything by it - hell I was shocked that Rachel could stretch like that!

[AGateFan]

Telya\Dex is the one ship I can see in pretty much all of Stargate. It seems less contrived then the others as they are both 'among aliens' and would should have a lot in common. However, I still would need it to be written in a grown up fashion and I am not sure TPTB can pull it off. If they can more power to them and I would be on board. If they cant they could ruin both characters and I like both characters. Not sure its worth the risk.

[SapphireJewelledQueen]

Okay, as soon as i saw 'Runner' I loved the Teyla/Dex ship. What can I say, I'm a ship hussy ;) LOL

Did anyone else see the way that Teyla instintively went to help Dex when he fainted from the pain?? That made me very happy...Was also my first squee moment for this ship :p

Does anyone know of some good fanfic out there about this ship??

I have two ships on the go now: Shep/Weir and Teyla/Dex.....I Love it :D

Actually there isn't much fanfic out yet. There is a pro Teyla / Dex community on LiveJournal if you have one that has a few pieces (mostly about uh....well take a guess :P ) But I haven't seen much thus far.

True, Ronan would take Shep down hard..... as for Shep's interest in 'other' people.... let's just say I'm not really amazingly fond of a certain pairing that consists of our lovable Colonel and our Mission Leader...... if that's even what you were hinting at.... I don't know why I hate it so, I just do......

Well I was all for Shep and Teyla, to me Shep and Weir is just asking for punishment - I mean they can't be together anymore than Sam and Jack could have in the beginning. But all plans went out of my head when Ronon came on. He and Teyla are just too perfect. And with Shep, well first there was the Ancient woman in season one and the implied Shep / Weir...He's turning out to be a bit of a playboy!

:D I'm glad to know that I already have a fan!!! Or at least someone who will at least read a fic. I usually specialize in one-shots, they require less commitment. Man, I wrote the first chapter of a Harry Potter one and made the mistake of not having a few chapters ready after it :( I got lazy, it was only suppose to be 3 or 4 chapters but I still managed to get lazy. I'll probably pick it up again eventually. I did a lot of Andromeda fics, mostly one-shots and a mutiple chapter story, and I wrote one Enterprise one-shot. Stargate: Atlantis should be a fun challenge!!! I already have a Ronon/Teyla story in mind!!!

[Cathain Nottingham]

Hi everyone!

I got an email from the author of 'A Runner's Sorry' (http://sg-atlantis.org/fanfics/char...5e30d25154def2d and http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2552248/1/) And she sent me her art website that has some beautiful Ronon/Teyla manips and drawings! Check it out:

http://ladybozi.deviantart.com/

[Purpleyin]

Already pretty happy with the idea of the ship but yee for Instinct :DI loved how she was the one who yet again questioned his actions, as well as his concern for her near the end when Ellia attacked her. Plus the orders thing was cute, she really does seem to be acting as a guide. They have a good affinity even this early on, as people who understand what it's like to outsiders trying to find a place, and it reallys sells this ship to me - he listens to her and she handles him well as you imagine a leader of her own people would be able to. Good to see her almost diplomatic side coming out with handling him and furthermore he accepts her advice, he trusts her alot already. I cant' wait to see where this companionship goes, even if it's just friendship I'm really enjoying the interactions. So need <more> fanfic for them.

[FoolishPleasure]

Just passing on the link to the "Instinct" review over at zero.point.snark.

I know that I'm probably a little late to post my opinion about "Instinct", but I just loved all the Ronon and Teyla interaction. I thought it was sweet when Ronon was all concerned about how Teyla was doing after Elia attacked her at the end.

Can't wait for the new episode on Friday.

I wouldn't be surprised if your assessment was correct....I doubt the PTB would want the actors to give away any secrets, though the chemistry between those two characters is hardly secret with the way it all but jumps off the screen and puts you in a choke hold! :D

It'll be interesting, as isn't there some rumor about a shep/teyla kiss in an upcoming episode? I'll be looking for Ronon's reaction if that rumor actually pans out

And yeah, they seemed to have switched gears since season 1. It seems to me that there has been quite the increase of shippy looks between them lately, not to mention the hug. I really like the idea of Dex/Teyla (has someone created the smushed ship name for that yet? :rolleyes: ) but I'm a Mcweir girl so I'm torn. I would never try to ship a couple because it made my OTP possible, but it was rather convenient.

Anyways, I like Teyla/Dex to much to do that. Especially because Teyla seems to be able to bring out the inner child in Dex, and he had to grow up rather fast due to his situation. I think that says a lot about how much he trusts and like her. It's very cute. :p

[FoolishPleasure]

Well on Jason's official site he says there's nothing between Teyla and Ronon but I don't know if he's just saying that to throw off fans.
All interviews are approved through the mighty PTB, and the actors have all signed non-disclosure agreements, so Jason says what they tell him to say.

Remember, Amanda Tapping used to swear there was nothing between Sam/Jack. ;)

Oh I know. If you read Jason's interview you can see he gets really excited over some questions and then when it comes too close into work he becomes a one word answer man!

Hey Cathlain Nottingham I finally joined!!!

Well I love the Teyla/Ronan relationship and have since Ronan was first introduced.

I read earlier that someone thought there their maybe a kiss in the next episode between John and Teyla. From my experiance the odds of that is incredibly low.

The Sheyla pairing has not played out enough for a kiss, basically the last real big hint was in the beginning of the first season. I have much experiance with TV show pairings and from my knowledge they usually go with fan ratings and from what I can tell Shweir is the favorite among the fans.

Don't worry guys Teyla/Ronan is gaining momentem with each coming episode.

As for coming up with a pairing name, Tex doesn't really work. Reyla?

Welcome Nerwen Aldarion! I'm glad you came over!

And I think that there's just too much chemistry between Ronon and Teyla for nothing to happen. :D

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Of course there is too much chemistry.

Besides I have seen spoilers and in those pictures they are standing pretty close together. :D

I love that though, I'm not sure how tall Rachel is but it is so cute when she stands next to Jason, the man towers over her! I mean he towers over everyone but its cute with her :D

[Dorka]

Hm, I read somewhere that Rachel is about 168cm and Ronon over 190cm (don't know what it is in feet!) So they have nearly 30 cm difference, thats much!

Well if that's true that makes Rachel about my height at 5'4" and Jason at 6'1"!

Okay the John / Teyla kiss in 'Conversion' was so not shippy - poor Teyla looked like she'd been assulted. I already have an idea for a pro Ronon/Teyla fic because of it!

I actually caught Ronon and Teyla giving each other the "eye" a couple times in this episode. ;)

[Whistler84]

Was it my imagination, or did Ronon wink at Teyla when they were walking in the woods? You know, after he scares McKay about potential predators. Whatever he did, Teyla most diffinately smiled back. :)

And I noticed one of those brief shared smiles that are so adorable.

Did i just read the word "fic" in relation to Ronon/Teyla?? :rolleyes:

Havent seen this ep (yet!) but from what ive seen/read [SPOILER]this was a kinda one-off thing. More like a i-am-sorry bout-this-kiss-Teyla(and Ronon)-but-I-can't-control-my-wraithy-instincts-Ronon-buddy-dont-worry-she-is-all-yours.[/SPOILERS]

And I really need to see this ep...I'm having withdrawal symptoms :p

Yeah, that's the one I was talking about. :D

Didn't see the wink, but I definitely saw the smile and it was really cute watching them enjoy a bit of an inside joke.

[SapphireJewelledQueen]

*happy sigh* We get a smile and a (possible) wink? *pets everyone* You just made my day... :)

[Cathain Nottingham]

Oh one of my favorite scenes was when they go hunting for John and Ronon peeks over his shoulder, 'You coming?' *happy sigh*

And when Ronon seperated from the search-group, Teyla calls after him in concern. (Yes, I can turn anything into shippyness. :) )

I think those moments show that they like to work together. ;)

No worries I think I can too! Especially with them!

YAYA! I'm new here...well..kind of.. Im the author of "A Runner's Sorry" http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2552248/1/ I accidently started to read this..and I was like! HEY!! Cathain Nottingham..well that's one of my favorite Reviewers..! :P Soo.. Im here! okay..well after seening tonights episode and Spoilers(highlight to read): "THE KISS" Im a 100 % sure that..Teyla(poo baby) didn't really enjoy it. She was very uncomfortable! I did love that little Teyla and Ronon joke..did you notice that she loves to laugh at his little side commentS! :D I loved the Elizabeth and John thing going on! But.. I feel that maybe the "Sexual Tension" between John and Teyla should continue. It might be the key to letting Ronon and Teyla get closer and to develop more! Ronon will one day get the guts to "GGRRR" at Teyla (LOL) I just feel that it will make a better outcome WHEN Ronon and Teyla finally come together! :) Ohh and Speaking of my story! I have a picture that I drew for it--

:D ANd hERE is my WALLPAPER that I made! http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/22331516/
Sorry that I made this so long! But I had a lot to say after reading 13 pages of this Thread

[SapphireJewelledQueen]
