John Sheppard/Teyla Emmagan Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread
My thoughts of Quarantine, with accompanying illustrations...
Spoiler:
First off...
LLOL!!!
Ahem... carrying on...
There was absolutely BRILLIANT JT interaction in this episode, and what really made it for me were the little looks between the two. This was one of my favourites:
I was cracking up when John said he was scared that Teyla would go into labour, and I loved this little side look at her stomach.
And then he made her sit down, how cute is that?
And all the time she was looking at him like he was crazy. But then when she sat down, she had the loveliest smile on her face - kind of exasperated but really fond as well. I had trouble capturing it - this is the best I could do:
I generally loved the fact that they were sitting working together at the computers, and it was so funny when John cracked Rodney's password. Ah Rodney...
The conversation between them about whether or not Teyla would stay on the team was really bittersweet - and this is the second time in two weeks that John's mentioned his college years... is it me or had he never mentioned college before SoW? Oh well. I loved how he was staring at the computer, obviously not wanting to face the thought of Teyla not being on his team anymore. And then when he did look at her, the look... well -
And the family comment - OMG!!! Well, that was so squee-worthy!
And I thought that was it, you know, that was enough really, for the episode to make me completely happy with the JT progress... and then of course IT HAPPENED. First off, the look of sheer terror on John's face when Teyla gasped was just priceless:
And aw look at Teyla's pretty smile:
And I loved how quickly John went striding over to her when she said the baby was kicking, and how she just so naturally reached for his hand so he could feel too. I was literally squeeing, as I'm sure everyone else was as well!
And the smile!!!!! It was just so... so... !!!!!
Then of course Teyla had her little turn. I see two possibilities - one, the heat of the room etc (and maybe the smell of Rodney's laundry ) if getting to her, OR (and this is my personal favourite) feeling the baby kick has filled her with sadness again about Kanan and her people, and knowing that John is there for her as her friend and as 'family' makes her feel guilty because she is actually really happy that he is there for her, and makes her wish that her Basically, a GREAT episode, and another fantastic medley of JT moments! I was yelling at Rodney to just propose - poor, poor Katie! And during the RJ moments I was just grinning so widely... and wow, that Jen is a smart gal!
I'm sure I'll think of other stuff later.
Oh great caps Ruby....
Spoiler:
The JT moments were really excellent in Quarantine... John and Teyla just looked like an old married couple already, with John fussing over her... and the moment when she took his hand and put it on her stomach, I squeeed for joy.... They are just so comfortable with each other and I love how Teyla is always touching John... her actions always seem quite intimate when it comes to John.. she allows him in her personal space without hesitation... I just couldnt imagine Teyla being this comfortable with any other guy other than John.
I loved her concern for John too when he climbed up the tower and she couldnt see him.... she climbs out herself ..wow!! to me that really shows just how worried she was for him...sigh.. aww. The JT scenes were really the best in the episode and then Zelenka/Sam... I loved their interaction and Zelenka is such a cutie... and YAY he got to save the day. !!
Ronan/keller... sorry their interaction was a bit boring.. still not all that keen on Keller.. she is just a bit to "meh" for me.
Rodney was a bit disappointing I thought... poor Katie .. the man is clueless so I guess he really isn't ready for marriage after all..
Thanks Ruby.
I thought maybe we can try to break it down again. What to you think.
Correct for anything I get wrong.

Oh yes agree with the bold part emphatically.
Spoiler:
I'm with you I didn't enjoy the R/K moments...that ship is not for me I think

Hmm...
Spoiler:
The arrival of this one leave some feeling dismayed. Elizabeth? Maybe... I'm not sure what dismayed means so...
Or... An old friend returns, loyalties are reversed- is Elizabeth, because her loyalties aren't like they were before, because now she's all bad..

Spoiler:
I was yelling at the screen when she climbed onto the windowsill - I was so worried that she would go out there that I didn't even think too clearly about it - but you're right, that was so very sweet! And I agree about the JT moments being the best thing in the episode - I can't get over how sweet it was!
Thanks Ruby.

Spoiler:
The brilliant one slowly loses his mind, (Something to do with Rodney. Maybe Last Man. )Agreed!
While a group of replacements puts the team in a bind. (This Mortal Coil?)They're all from the back half of the season, so it can't be TMC... this one stumped me before as well.
Wallace’s research a menace let loose. (Outcast)Yep!
The key to success is compress not diffuse. (BAMSR, what happened to the Replicators.)Ya-huh...
A relationship blossoms, an engagement is planned. (Ronon&Keller, Rodney&Katie)Yep
An old enemy sweeps down and gains the upper hand. (Kindred)Agreed
In an underground chamber the trio is stuck, (Trio)Yep
While Sheppard battles some really bad luck. (?Last Man? )Probably... maybe Kindred 2?
A corpse is discovered and John plays detective. (? Kindred?)Maybe... it's a puzzler!
The city assailed by mutations infective. (Kindred?)This one I have NO idea for!
Call the doctor from Earth to help us take action, (Kavanaugh?)Yeah I think so
As the death of a loved one spurs McKay into action. (Kindred?)No idea
Get talked into escorting a precocious young brat. (Harmony)Yep
The experiment’s minions the team will combat. (Kindred)I think so
A battle is waged on the defender’s home field, (Midway)Oh yeah... good one
And the means of production is fully revealed. (SOW and one other ep?)This one was definitely SoW, JM said so
Two warriors head off an incursion on Earth. (Outcast)I think this one is Midway - Teal'c and Ronon against the wraith
A mission is snagged by an untimely birth. (SOW?)I thought so, but JM didn't mention it last week, he just said the 'means of production' line... hmm, I'm not sure about this one now.
The status quo shifts, a power play made. (SOW)Dunno... maybe Kindred?
The arrival of this one leave some feeling dismayed. (?)This is a really tough one too... maybe Kanan turning up?
An old friend returns, loyalties are reversed, (Carson, ?)Yeah, that would be Carson.
And a ghost from the past has us fearing the worst. ( Kolya)I don't know... maybe Bates... or Michael? Maybe Weir comes back and they've kept it REALLY quiet...
Atlantis the target of a mysterious race, (?)No idea!
While myriad permutations are viewed from space. (?)Maybe Last Man - the weird time anomaly thing?
