Originally posted by Socknitster View PostMe too! They set up that conflict so nicely early on. There was some nice backstory and there have been a couple of moments. When Radek shows him the glowy fish I was hopeful that something would happen. I wonder if they will resolve this storyline. There isn't a lot of room left for this kind of stuff! Personally, I'd rather have more of this than a few of the other storylines, but that's just me. I can't recall--did they ever explain why they originally broke up? I don't think so. I'd like to re-read the whole series when the final book comes out.sigpic
I think I need a new signature. *sigh*

Heh, sounds like something that would happen in my family.sigpic

What can you do with them except have them kidnapped, seriously ill or be some kind of child genius/prodigy (I'm guessing that this one is going to fall into the last category)? Not very interesting.
And as for the other one. Darling......Seriously

Originally posted by Princes View PostThe whole John/Teyla thing is annoying and cringeworthy, spoils the series for me. As for Torren he is like an after thought oh Teyla has a child better stik them in somewhere. Stories work better when lead characters ave te hint of attraction rather tan relationships, John requires the different flirtatious episodes he has tv series rather tan the yucky happy families.sigpicsig by Isolde

I don't think any shipping in the books is over-done, nor is Torren. Torren gets less than a page per book and his presence and reactions make sense, fitting the series and not as afterthoughts to me. It was shown in the series he has his mother's telepathic abilities; so, he will cry when Wraith with harmful intentions approach and be at ease when friendly Wraith are near.
I also think Torren and Darling's friendship has to be in the books as the next generation growing up with Keller's new retrovirus. They represent hope and what everyone is fighting for. There will be a new generation of Wraith who have never had to take a life to continue living.

Now see, WraithTech--like that! I didn't pick up on that foreshadowing. I suspect there is a lot more I didn't pick up on. There were several times I was like, wow, this scene is weird--what could be the purpose of it? But sometimes in re-reading a book, you will see the subtle clues that you missed the first time and they are almost like little gifts. I try to put these things in my own work, to enhance the reading experience.
I agree. I like grown ups acting like grown ups. You guys may be too young to remember Moonlighting, but it was a show that I loved and it was praised for the on-again, off-again tumultuous love affair between the two major characters. Once those two characters finally admitted they were in love, the show tanked--but not because of the relationship (IMHO) but because the show was just done, the writers were done, it had already jumped the shark. But people like to hold that up as an example of ships ruining a show. I disagree. People just don't go on forever flirting and never making commitments or at least trying. They may fail at relationships but they will indulge in them. People pair up. It's the way of the world.
And people have kids. It's what they do. I loved that they just wrote Rachell Luttrell's pregnancy into the show.
I LOVE where they are going with the Wraith--it's a wonderful way to cap off the series with something hopeful. That doesn't mean it will end on a perfect note, but the possibility of a resolution at some point in the future is a nice thing to introduce.
