Changing the direction of "Stargate Atlantis" probably wasn't the first thing on Rachel Luttrell's mind when she became pregnant last year.
After she announced her condition to the producers at the start of season four, she says, she expected they'd just hide her "behind large prop pieces" when she began to show.
Instead, they wrote a season-long pregnancy story arc for Luttrell's character, Teyla. And Teyla's delivery was the focus of the debut episode of season five, airing Mondays on The Movie Network in Eastern
Canada and on Movie Central in the West.
"I had no idea how they were going to take the news," Luttrell says. "I knew it was slated to be a season that would be quite strong for Teyla, so I had no idea what they were going to be able to do with it. And I'm very happy with the direction it took."
What the producers of "SGA" did was build a mysterious prophecy around the baby.
"Teyla's child is actually a very, very powerful being," Luttrell says. "So this season we see how this warrior is going to cope with being a mom and having a child who is a unique being and is, sadly, sought after by rather more evil characters."
