okay...let's say he is there..and then nothing happens..then we will really be disappointed...so I'd rather he not be there cause we know nothing is going to happen and then if nothing happens then we are going to be so disappointed and then the Shep/Weir's are going to be jumping and then I;m going to be soooo upset...and then..AH! breath breath breath....Originally posted by CamysigpicComment

Okie-dokie! I guess I kind of feel that both of them might decide that the best thing would be for her to transfer -- maybe lead her own team -- to eliminate complications and also to avoid too much attention from the opponents to the Stargate program who like to sniff out this sort of thing. I actually was thinking that if she decided to leave the reconnaissance thing behind altogether, she could serve Atlantis very well by working as one of their main trade negotiators or something. Plus, there's always the Athosians to think about...

Oh, I have no doubt that the bureacracy from Earth would try to dictate it as inappropriate, it's typical stargate to make this happen, and conflict keeps us glued to our seats, even more so that just the show itself. I don't think it'd be necessary for her to leave the team, because that'd be just plain..... wrong. Because then her role in the show would deminish and that would make me pout angrily.Originally posted by SnoggingPicard

Yeah, a diminished role is the only thing I would worry about. But I think I'd feel that way regardless of what ship they end up going with. For instance, if Shep/Weir is pursued, under no circumstances should Elizabeth be pushed off to the side; same with Teyla/Ronon being shunted off. Sacrificing characters for the sake of ship -- ANY ship -- is a crime.

He should already be struck dumb, I know I would in his situation. They're perfect together, why do TPTB insist on the whole Kirking thing.(That was not meant to be derogatory in any way shape or form.)Originally posted by AthosianGirlComment

Well, I disagree...I kind of think that they will keep their relationship very secretly...something like first they will discover their feelings and try to hide it and then play hookie and finally if they are discovered, Sheppard and Teyla wouldn't want to be separated....remember that she is always saying that she wants to fight by his side...and this is very important to her and to him...thus the reason why I think they rather hide their feelings than loose what they have now...but seriously...we have to wait awhile before any of this happens and that is if it ever happens...John and Teyla have other priorities right now, real love not being one of them....thus VOILA! the Cpt. Kirking! Even Teyla acknowledge it when she said to him in Sanctuary...without no one to justify your actions to...or something like that..Originally posted by SnoggingPicardsigpicComment

Very true and important to mention Snogging. But I still feel that ship can develop these characters more. My view is to take it to the next level, you can tell alot about someone by who they will give it all for. Who they won't leave behind. Who they will never betray? That kind of stuff, you can get some really strong emotions from that.Originally posted by SnoggingPicardComment

Those are good points as well. It could really go either way -- it just depends on what they think is best for them and for Atlantis, because I think that for both of them the safety of those around them is just as important as their relationship. They are born leaders and protectors, and while I don't think they would deny or end a relationship because they want to do what's "right" for Atlantis, I think they'd try to combine it with their duties so that it could work for all involved.

Yeah, Earth will definetly try to make this relationship non compliant...even more so with Weir...
And because it would take away from Teyla's character, this is why this ship cannot and will not happen any time soon...and frankly, I think I like it this way..so long as Sheppie doesn't get anyone steady and Teyla as well and they keep giving us this little scenes but intensify them as the season progress..I am happy!sigpicComment

True Camy, though it still breaks my heart to see him blantantly getting close to other women, (AKA Cpt. Kirking) And yes, the ship would still be a side to the story. (We don't want soap operas) It'd be interesting to see how their relationships to others would work if they were both secretly in love. Would it impact their duty to Atlantis?Originally posted by CamyComment

Agreed, Ritter. Relationships can tell you just as much about a character as their direct words and actions, and that's one of the reasons that "ships" are such a powerful tool in the hands of TPTB. I'm all for developing a ship if they can pull it off in an effective, believable way that emphasizes the characters rather than degrades or bogs them down. Still, after the kind of messy, unresolved stuff in Sam/Jack, I'm not entirely confident in their ability to do this. Maybe that's why I'm a little cautious.

Cpt..you are right about relationships can bring out some drama and characterization, but remember that the writers of this show don't know how to do this effectively...any other show has done it...but these writers seem to loose it when they get into the shippy stuff and I don't want Rachel to loose out on all of the great things that her character can accomplish to turn her into the woman waiting by the stargate for her man! She is too great a character for that....GOSH! I can't believe I am writing this..ME of all people!
Yeah, Cpt. you are it!sigpicComment

If the scenes intensify, then maybe... I just long for something more. Call me a hopeless romantic and yes I know it won't happen anytime soon, (If we can take a hint from S/J over at SG-1). I just hope it doesn't get dropped, there's something that connects those two beyond a normal level. I don't think that if it happens it should take away from Teyla's character, if anything it will show us how she faces adversity of this type, for that matter, how John faces that kind of adversity.Originally posted by Camy
