But then I realized something. I remember a few back posts I read on a few different boards and even here...and I mean way back when season 1 was around, it all said John was attracted and Teyla was definitely cold to him and wasn't much impressed by what he was. She was pretty much turning him down flat and showed no interest.
Listing a few:
Rising
38 Minutes
Suspicion
LFP
The Gift
The Siege
The Siege II
The list goes on and on right.....we can see he was worried and he pretty much killed a few people or defended her to the point where he even offended Weir.
Now in Season 2 we see it's Teyla's turn. I mean in Season 1, she was establishing herself. She was getting her bearings. She, for lack of a better world, lost her people to the mainland. Why? Because her purpose was to destroy the Wraith and she believed that the Atlantis Crew woudl do that. But during that time she also had to prove herself as a dedicated member....and not a traitor. And she was under suspicion continously. I mean she had a lot on her mind. We see John really building on that connection they have, we see him moved her by..and we know his position but her's...no one really knew or cared to know--in some cases. Love was not a key point, she felt the connection but between losing her home, ALL the Wraith awakening, losnig her people, being under a lot of suspicion, and of course not being valued not only because she's a woman but becuase she's not of Earth, and then dealing with the fact she's part Wraith....woah!! Our girl had some drama to contend with first....love and John definitely takes a back seat. Am I right? Or am I right? You ladies know what it's like for us with our drama. And you know men take time and patience..and we have no time for patience with our drama going on. Can you blame Teyla..no?
So now she's come to terms with losing her people--somewhat--more liek she knows her purpose and she will do it selflessly. She's gained some foot hold in Atlantis. She's gained a bit more respect from the other's. And she's learningn and dealing with the Wraith gene...fine. NOw she can work on that bond..and she's allowing herself that chance. And keep in mind ladies..she's not us!?
She's not from earth..her responses are different. She's probably never dealt with such emotions..or hasn't in a very very very long time. We saw her at the camp in Rising she was the leader and seemed to have no mate around. She protected and now she's feeling the pain of not being able to protect someone she loves. We all know what the feels like. We know what that is. We saw her kick butt in plenty of episodes we haven't seen her with much feeling in Season 1 but really anger and getting a hold of the knowledge she didn't want..and understanding the loss of Charin. NOw she's opening to the bond that is was forged with John in Season 1. Now she slowly adapting and it's causing an upheavel.
Those of you who are married and married for love or been in a relationship with this most amazing love....how did that make you feel? A bit delirious? A bit lost..giddy? And then if he or for the men she was hurt?! And you couldn't do anything..how would you feel. HOw would you react if you couldn't see them? Let's look at some eps that have that.
Some Eps:
Lost Boys
The Hive
Aurora
Inferno
TLG
Allies
And a few other's I'm forgetting their name...it takes some time. And then we have to see how she learns to express it. Some of us would hide it, she doesn't...she doesn't know what she's supposed to do. I came to realize this is great..it's a natural approach and gives us a clue into her and her psyche. It's not weakening at all..but very enlightening for us...and I can't wait to see more!
Yeah I've gotten over it! Made sense of it..it took a lot of watching Season 1 to get it.
TPTB just isn't sure what they coudl have done..it's to early on to put them together and they threw themselves in a hole with Ronon, so it kind of making it difficult to work out what the plan is...but we have to read that and see that it's the best they could do!
