Originally posted by HatcheterI believe I've read that one before. IIRC, it was an interview during season 1. In season 2, what with the ZPM, the Deadalus, and Atlantis no longer being in the Wraith's crosshairs, there's a little less of that desperation, and a little more time to live one's life.
Regarding that article, I think it's murky enough to make a lot of possible reactions to a relationship between Sheppard and Weir. Their superious could range from indifferent dismissal to outright condemnation. IMO, they would probably suffer close scrutiny, and some opposition if they did. Not that that couldn't be overcome, but I think it makes the idea of having the ship but "keeping it in the background" unfeasable, at least for a time.
Still, if TPTB are gutsy and clever, it might be an interesting avenue to explore.
Besides, I remember reading that interview and thinking. Talk about vague answers. Notice that he didn't say specifically a romantic relationship with Teyla or anyone for that matter, even if the question was about Shep/Teyla. But then again, I have noticed that there have always been questions about Shep/Teyla asked in interviews/conventions, and very few Shep/Weir.
Also a lot of the interviews floating around came before season two aired. So Maybe we need some new interviews with new equally vague answers.

Originally posted by BamaWouldn't worry about that too much...notice it was a season one interview and Joe was toeing the company line at that time. Notice it was GW asking the question too with their own preconceived notions. I think we need to listen to what they're saying *now* on the front and oddly, everyone is keeping mum about any 'romance'. Isn't that interesting?
I'm sure Torri and Joe are having to get used to people pointing out how good they look on screen together these days!

Hopefully our Aussie Sparkies will come out in-force @ the cons, to ask the tough questions that need to be adressed!

Originally posted by alyssaThe other thing is that possibly a reason for all this Shep/Teyla business early on is that they really weren't expecting that incredible thing between Torri and Joe on screen. There's just a spark between them. You can take it any way you like, but they look extremely comfortable on screen together. The other one who works well with both of them is David, but I think with him, it's partly that he gives 'comic relief'.

I've seen pics of Joe and Rachel obviously at a con together, but never Joe and Torri....
Plus, there are so many people here in Aus who know about 'the moment', I'm sure it'll be noticed...

Don't fret over early season 1 interviews. Remember - all interviews have to be approved by TPTB, which means the cast is saying what they are told in regards to the show (they've all signed non-disclosures anyway).
Rachel Luttrell was pushing Shep/Teyla all through season 1, but her last few interviews she hasn't mentioned it at all, but she has moved to the "Teyla and Ronon definitely have a connection" mode. Besides, I've seen pics of the smooshy kiss she planted on Jason Momoa during the SGA panel at the San Diego con last summer! Poor Joe only got a kiss on the cheek when someone asked about "Conversion".
When all else fails, change channels.

Yeah, Joe's hair is really wildly against regulation. The AF's regulations for men's hair are as follows:
Hair style will have a tapered appearance on both sides and back, both with and without headgear. A tapered appearance is one that when viewed from any angle outlines the individual’s hair so that it conforms to the shape of the head, curving inward to the natural termination point. Block cut permitted with tapered appearance. [Hair] will not be worn in an extreme or fad style or in such a way that exceeds length or bulk standards or violates safety requirements. Will not touch the ears and only closely cut or shaved hair on the back of the neck may touch the collar. Will not exceed 1 1/4 inches in bulk, regardless of length and not exceed 1/4 inch at the natural termination point. Will not contain or have any visible foreign items attached to it.
Yeah. John's hair violates that half a dozen ways. But with the whole civilian-over-officer thing, they've already established that for the purposes of Stargate, that relationship is okay. As much as I hated the episode Threads, something good did come of it:
Spoiler:KERRY: Is the Air Force the only thing keeping [you and Carter] apart? Rules and regulations? ‘Cause if it is, you’re making a very big mistake.
JACK: And you know what I should do?
KERRY: Retire.
JACK: Again.
KERRY: Don’t get me wrong – you are considered invaluable to the program by the Pentagon, but the President has appointed a civilian to run the SGC before. Just a thought.
So as far as SG is concerned, it's okay for a civilian to get involved with one of his or her troops, even a high-profile member of the base's military contingent. Might not be the real-life interpretation or even the spirit of the rule, but that's what aired last spring.Mirror, Mirror: Melyanna's multi-fandom fic site
