Just read the article on Gateworld on how Ray Park is going to be working with Rachel Luttrell on Teyla’s fighting skills. Rachel brags about how much fighting action Teyla will be involved with in the future.
TPTB still don’t seem to get it. Teyla is BORING. Using her as a sweaty, skimpily-clad fighting machine is still BORING. Is anyone else still waiting for Teyla to SAY something interesting or intelligent? If TPTB insist on having an alien martial arts expert as part of the team, why don’t they dump the Teyla character totally and bring in Ray Park himself as our resident alien? (Not that he would be available.)
Rachel is a beautiful lady, and the Teyla character has a lot of unused potential. I'm getting tired of the poor dialogue, costuming, hair, make-up, etc., that are being used on her, and now it seems we are going to get nothing more than increased fighting action from her as well, which will only encourage posts about "Hot Teyla" around here as well. Yawn. Someone please give poor Rachel something to do beside swinging sticks around.
Frankly I'm tired of hearing about "hot Teyla" and "hot alien chick" (Chaya). Why can't beautiful women in SGA be brainy as well? Am I asking too much? Have I just been spoiled by years of Samantha Carter (pretty and smart)? Or am I just having a really bad Monday morning?
