Spoiler:Hi, there's something here that caught my eye that sparked a little "Hey, wait a minute..."-kind of feeling in the back of my head.
You meantion (and let me quote you here a little):
He's forty or so. Has he been sitting around for the last forty years waiting for Michael to kidnap him or be noticed by Teyla?
According to a snippet from The Kindred part I (though at first not sure it actually happened in the show, and this is coming from the person who's seen every episode of Atlantis at least 5 times) which is a conversation between Carter and Teyla, there's the revelation Teyla and Kanaan knew each other since childhood:
CARTER: I wanna believe you, Teyla, but I'm a scientist. I'm trained to think critically.
TEYLA: There is a possible explanation. Kanaan has the Gift – the same ability that I do.
CARTER: The Wraith D.N.A.?
TEYLA: Yes. Among my people, the Gift is considered useful, but it also sets one apart. It can be difficult. Kanaan was the only one who could truly understand what it felt like.
CARTER: It brought you together.
TEYLA: It is something we have shared since childhood.
****
And as I copy and paste that, I remember a conversation between Keller and Teyla from Missing (those repeated viewings are paying off after all):
KELLER: So, this friend of yours – one of your team members? A certain uptight astro-physicist, maybe?
TEYLA: No. Athosian. His name is Kanaan. A natural leader, but he isn't aware of it. Burdened by an overly-cautious nature. (She looks down sadly.)
KELLER: He's more than a friend, isn't he? He's the one you were coming to see – on a hot date.
(Teyla looks away, sighing.)
KELLER: Sorry – it's none of my business. I should just learn to shut up.
TEYLA: We have known each other since childhood, but only recently condoled more than a friendship. (She looks at Jennifer.) I have not told anyone yet.
KELLER (sympathetically): I'm so sorry.
****
So, you can imagine I'm a tad bit confused about the Kanaan you're picturing there. =S
In fanfiction anything is possible of course - hell, I have to do a lot rewriting of canon myself (although there's surprisingly a lot to work with canon-wise - if you can call 5 episodes a lot anyway) - but you meantion the Legacy series, so I assuming (if incorrect or misreading please do not hesitate to tell me so) that what you write here will be partially (or completely) used to create Kanaan's backstory and in his relation towards Teyla.
Anyway... I just thought I'd point it out, although you're probably aware of it (in that case forget everything I said - I wasn't here ). If not, well now you know.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Sparky!Family Saturday!

Originally posted by Falcon Horus View PostAs I view it has progressed to being not empty, but I have one remark about it - if you want Elizabeth's return to be a surprise, I wouldn't put her into the episode summaries in the later half of the season. Kinda spoils the surprise for those not in the know like us.

We finally repaired all the damage that Teyla did when she was possessed, so everythings up and running if you want to take a look. I couldn't find that seperate bedroom like you requested though - do you have problems sleeping with other people or something?
Sure.....that sounds plausible. Never mind, it doesn't look like there's any privacy here, I may as well go back to work
[ATTACH=CONFIG]26290[/ATTACH]
Hrmmmm....if I stun Ronon & Teyla when Elizabeth comes back, it'll be almost like we're alone. Seems a shame not to utilise these beds properly
Originally posted by Falcon Horus View PostYou people rub off on me when it comes to these Legacy books from Fandemonium.
I did a search earlier trying to learn more about J. Graham and came upon an interesting piece that made me go... Eh, what?!?
It has been mentioned here as well - the whole Kanaan backstory and how he's supposedly older in her universe. She must have clearly missed this bit of information that I pulled from a GW transcript (with a little help because I couldn't remember the exact episode) from The Kindred I:
Spoiler:TEYLA: There is a possible explanation. Kanaan has the Gift – the same ability that I do.
CARTER: The Wraith D.N.A.?
TEYLA: Yes. Among my people, the Gift is considered useful, but it also sets one apart. It can be difficult. Kanaan was the only one who could truly understand what it felt like.
CARTER: It brought you together.
TEYLA: It is something we have shared since childhood.
So, Teyla is 40-something too (or close to it, like Rachel really is). Should I mention this to our dear Graham that canon dictates that Kanaan and Teyla are somewhat of the same age?
Originally posted by gateraid View PostAfter reading this, I looked up Teyla's bio in GW's omnipedia section. It's been some time since I read it. Surprisingly, it doesn't mention her age at all. I remember when SGA first started, I had the impression Teyla was supposed to be about 25 - is this accurate? Clearly I didn't get it off the omnipedia page, so maybe I've been misjudging her age all along. This would make her 30/31 now. I had always thoought the younger age was a bit off - it would've made her the same age as Ford.

Sparky is on screen. Therefore, it is canon. Elizabeth is still out there. And John WILL bring her home.

You gave her the information in a very friendly matter and I really wonder what her reaction will be.
Originally posted by Scary Kitty View PostI'm sure they'll have autograph sessions... And Dragon*Con strikes me as the kind of con where you might just run into stars in the hotel bar, in the elevator, etc. ...
Dragon*con is the one that Joe is going to right? Cause at Fedcon, I heard him say, to someone who interrupted our conversation, that he never goes to the bar at an American con and that he'd never stay in the con hotel like he did at Fedcon. He never gave explained it further. But I'm thinking it's the attitude of the fans. I'm not talking about you or the others on this thread, obviously, but from what I sometimes hear about American cons is how pushy the fans can be.
Of course I'm hoping that he will come to the bar and that someone can relay Torri's message and tell him about the progress of the virtual season.

I'm totally not surprised that Joe doesn't hang out or stay in the con hotels in the US, and I agree about the pushiness of some fans here.(This is legal notice that any attempt to censor or delete, for the purpose of oppressing fair and open discussion, any statement made by me will be considered a violation of my right to free speech as guaranteed by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, and will be dealt with in accordance with federal law.)

Originally posted by KrisRussel View PostYes, those are some amazing interviews; from everyone!
And I also really really hope Torri will be able to do this.
Lol, good point. But it is kinda difficult to make a summary without mentioning her when the ep is centered around her But I'll see what I can do with it.
I'm also gonna give SR full editing rights, so that if something needs to be changed and I'm not around it can still be changed.
