And as for development....I mean Sheps easily read throughout the last two seasons....you definitely see how his mind works and the kind of person he is...if your wondering about a more anti-hero Shep...look at 'Lost Boys'....
I mean Shep was out control, he was sacrificing his teammates for what?! Really....that's an integral part in this. I mean I love my Shep...but I thought it was a great episode, because it shows how unperfect he is. Greater good and all that. And to me that was some serious character development. Then there was the main one of 'Rising' and killing his CO.
Then we have his personalty in The Siege and Hot Zone and various others...where he'd be a great marine if I ever saw one, and you get snippets of him. While Teyla has been missed on episodes, Shep has been in every single episode! 'Grace Under Pressure' comes to mind, which was supposed to be about McKay..we get Shep the hero...albeit I had me my Zalenka, who was wicked as well.
All I'm saying is that we get what? 3 episodes of Teyla and Michael can't even really be about Teyla it looked more like filler to me, It definitely involved a focus on Weir and Beckett and who they are, and their problems with what they've done or are doing.
I think we get an awed Teyla (seeing a human who's now Wraith) and she gets to end up on the planet, mainly because she can tap into 'Wraith psychic network'.
PS...I wanted to mention Condemned..but I wasn't sure what he meant about that....I definitely stand by Lost Boys though. And then of course 'The Hive'.
PS2: LOve this thread..I love it when we can definitely discuss the parallels of a character and or characters and their relation to said character within the show....
