Just one more word since I missed the bit about what Joe said. Hearing that made me for a number of reasons.
1. As someone said, we don't know the context. Was it a leading question? And even if it was, I agree with him. They should do something about that relationship. It was a mess. Clearly, it can't be romantic now. So just what is it?
2. Joe has always been a Sheyla. I've been here since the beginning. As much as we want him to be a Sparky, he has never supported that ship. He was hired with the idea that Teyla would be a possible love interest. He has admitted that he doesn't read the scripts and nobody has told him that anything has changed. He probably doesn't even know who Kanaan is just like at a recent con someone got a blank look when they made a joke about their name being "Meredith".
3. Joe also likes to tease. He once said in reference to Teyla/Liz that he didn't know why he couldn't have both of them. He has signed people's Sparky pics and shirts and whatever and made jokes about it. He kissed Torri in public when she was asked about romance for Elizabeth. So he was aware of the ship conflict and played it for all it was worth. Thus the "beautiful boss" comment. The man is a master at saying what he thinks the questioner wants to hear.
4. And even if he actively wanted Sheyla or McShep or Shex or any other ship to happen, *pauses for laughter to die down* what will change? The show is over. The movie is on indefinite hold and as far as I am concerned the books are irrelevant. But what can never change is how much John cared about Elizabeth and how he showed his grief all through S4-5.
So my Sparkies, we can continue to celebrate our ship.
