Originally posted by Sokar_The_Wraith View Postthat's the way the writer of that episode portrayed her IMO, she should have gotten out of there cause of her son, NOT stay over some guy.
but yeah it's just a show, it makes for a good season finale tomorrow, but it sure makes teyla look dumb.
Plus, there was only a very short time between when Carson shot those guards and Michael showed up. I think it's within the realm of possibility and not-dumb to say she had a lot to process and Michael came back too quickly for her to escape. I mean, if they had started running, Michael would've caught up to them a short ways down the passage.
YMMV.

That's a good point about the short time frame and her being understandably overwhelmed. When you put it like that, I really don't think it's "idiotic" as has been asserted by some. I definitely understand where people are coming from when they say that, but under the circumstances, I think it's a reasonable reaction she had.Theoretically spoilerish:

Also, I just rewatched K II again, and she's been through everything she's been through, in shock cuz Carson just shot a couple of guys and appeared from the dead, and she's focused, whether we like it or not, on trying to rescue some she loves and has known her entire life, who also happens to be the father of her child. I can see that she'd at least hesitate.

her respect as a character after that scene went out the window for me.

She was ill equipped to challenge Michael and she should have thought of that. She was selfish and she might have doomed both Canaan and her baby. She should have chosen the lesser evil. You don't fight a battle when you are not prepared, especially with someone who has plans for your unborn child. Had she left, things would have been different. She could have prepared herself better now because she knew what to expect. On top of that, she would have been protected by Shep and his team.

1) She was already in danger though so she might as well try to save him.
2) Michael wanted the baby unharmed so he wouldn't have done anything to jepardize that.
They sound contradictory at first but if you consider that Mikey's people were firing P90s at Shep's team, if Teyla had tried to leave then she would have been put right in the middle of all that gun fire.
Call me stubborn but I'm sticking with that
