John Sheppard/Teyla Emmagan Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[john_and_teyla_for_life]

Oh, LOL, I was just going to post a response and you pretty much said exactly the same thing I was going to say! Only better! I totally agree, Blue!!! And I'm glad to see that so far everyone here is agreeing as well rather than getting all upset over nothing. So I'll put my ramblings in spoilers since it's pretty much the same thing already said. LOL!

Spoiler:

So for me, my immediate impression was that at first he is very vague as usual and just says no plans. But then when the interviewer does a GREAT job probing deeper and says that they've been building up the teasing between them for the past three seasons, he concedes a bit. First off, he says TRUE! I LOVE that! LOL! It's yet more confirmation of the deliberate tension and teasing moments written between them and yet more proof that we are NOT imagining these moments and we are the only ship to have such confirmation! (Well, except for Rodney/Katie and maybe Ronon/Keller coming up!) LOL! So I thought that single word alone was great.

And even better, he gives a more in depth explanation of his previous generic "no plans" comment. His "for the time being," and his "you know, at least for the season four Teyla is attached" response proves that he IS talking about the immediate plans and the plots of season four, which of course is not a surprise and of course is all what we already know. We hate it, but we already know Kanan will be in the picture. He then concedes a little more and says there will be subtle reactions from Shep for us to see still at least. So all he is really saying is no plans for outright romance right now. We already knew that wasn't going to happen in season four. We already know they deliberately gave us tension in the past three seasons, and we already know John is going to give us jealousy and some subtle hints of his feelings by his reactions to her pregnancy. So that is a small concession from the writers that they haven't forgotten what they've built up over the past three years and while Teyla is "attached" in season four, they are still keeping it up.

Now I'm not totally naive. I do think the "no plans for romance" pretty much applies for all the seasons in general, but that is something we've also always known, that they will not do outright romance between main characters in Stargate, not during the show's run at least. We just talked about this yesterday in fact! But I do think we'll continue to get the subtle J/T moments we've seen all along. Heck, if they can still hint at them while she's with another guy, we know they will still keep on giving them to us, LOL!

But what is still open, I believe, is the possibility of their getting together at show's end, which is what I've always hoped for and expected with this ship since we know we won't get outright romance like we'd love to see. So yes, it's disappointing, but it's nothing new and nothing we haven't known before.

To ramble and analyze his answer even more if anyone is even still reading, LOL, his initial answer does sound damning at first as he says no plans and lumps J/T in with R/T, but what is key is that in the same sentence he finishes they have no plans for romance with either and that neither are the father. So this tells us that he was answering from the viewpoint of the pregnancy. I can guarantee you that some people are only going to hear the "no plans" part and get all upset about it or will get all gleeful and try to rub it in our faces. But I'm telling you, you have to understand this man, listen to the question and follow his thought process. If you do, it isn't really anything new. The second half of the second proves that, after the interviewer probes more and brings the question back around to the bigger picture, beyond the pregnancy, and then he confirms with the "true" and hedges that his comments are for season four with Teyla not having outright romance with John because she's attached to Kanan for the moment. So I'm happy by his "true" and glad to know he was focusing mostly on the now and in the season four plot, because if he had just stopped with the "no plans" then it would have been disappointing. But I'm still cringing because like I said, I guarantee that's all that anyone is going to hear and I hate the thought of all the drama it's going to cause. Ugh! So that's my reaction, LOL!

So all in all, I'm not really too surprised by his answer as he shows he was talking about season four and when probed further he actually confirms the deliberate J/T moments, similar to Rachel's recent interview actually (YAY!). At this point, I'm hoping it doesn't spill over into season five too much since it looks like it very well could with Teyla's pregnancy going into season five and with Kanan's fate unknown for season five (from Rachel's interview). I'm really hoping for a very early resolution to the storyline and for things to get back to normal...well as normal as they can be for this show! As we've also discussed before, I can't imagine the pregnancy being drawn out for too long into season five as it will be putting Rachel into a pregnancy suit and we can see how huge Teyla is at the end of season four, so is obviously due very soon. Depending what they do with baby, with the missing Athosians, and with Kanan, it may or may not be a huge part of season five as well.

Nice rambling I agree with ya

Man i wish i could write down what i want to say like you guys do....I've know what i wanna say but can't get it from my head to the screen so i'll steal one of Elf's words and say DITTO to you and blue!

Spoiler:

I also hope we get a resolution to this whole pregnancy thing and this Kanan guy very early in S5,i don't want it to drag on into the latter part of the Season!

Spoiler:

THat would be pure torture if if were dragged on that long.... I would go mad, guarenteed

Great post Steph and very well said...

Season 5 spoilers...

Spoiler:

I can't see the pregnancy going on for very long into season 5. I can't see Rachel wanting to sport a pregnancy suit after being pregnant for 9 months. I think it will get tied up pretty quickly and if Michael has anything to do with it as I believe he has he may whisk the baby off somewhere, never to be seen again. JM did say that Teyla would go through the biggest change out of all the characters and I think losing her baby will have a huge effect on her.. and I'm sure she will need all the comfort she can get from John....

That's what I'm hoping for too!!!

From the very vague spoilers we know about so far, it seems like that

Spoiler:

the baby storyline will be resolved fairly quickly since it appears Michael will have some involvement that will add a Sci-Fi twist to the birth and will, I'm assuming, give a final resolution fairly quickly the baby itself.

What we don't know yet is what they plan for the Athosians and Kanan. We don't know if that storyline will be resolved at the same time or continue on its own. I'm hoping it too will be resolved fairly quickly as it seems the baby storyline will be.

But oh yes, hopefully lots and lots of comfort from John! LOL! (Hey, we can dream!)

IMDb is the best. I always knew Teyla was younger, even though Sheppards acts like a 13 year old sometimes.

Ain't the sig great?! She is so awesome!
