SGA help?

[twasadark]

Okay, so I just watched Stargate Atlantis's 1st eppy of Season 5 and I am TOTALLY in the dark.  Cause I haven't watched all of S4 and because I'm too lazy to search the webz for answers to all these questions ... maybe someone can hep me out?  Questions under the cut since they are spoilers ...

• Teyla and John are dining together at the beginning, even if only in John's mind.  WTF?  Are they getting together????  Which would actually thrill me. :-)
• How the hell did Teyla get preggers???  Well, aside from the obvious insert slot a into tab b stuff.  Did she get captured or something?
  
• The promo for next eppy showed CARSON.  Uh ... I thought he'd been blown into smithereens???

I totally dug Hurt!John even if his face did look smeared with clown paint there at the end.  And Ronon, yum, big strong Ronon carrying Teyla and the baby and not seeming to mind the ... um ... drippiness of carrying a woman who has just given birth.  LOL.

Yay Atlantis flail! I missed John's pointy ears! And I listen to so much podfic that I forget they all actually sound like men :)

1) There have been some hints of Teyla/John (mostly in Doppelganger, but pretty much all the way back to the pilot). And John sort freaked out about her being pregnant. I'm hoping for no John/Teyla, if only because John, very gay. (the slash goggles, they are permanent)

2). The actress recently had a baby, and they added it into the story line for the last half of season 4. They sort of wimped out on exposition - "oh, that guy from Athos, right? You seemed close" - he was the zombie-ish guy that helped them out of the ship (long story - Michael, some sort of genetic warfare thing, brainwashing).

3). Okay, Carson, even crazier. It's a CLONE. A failing, genetically altered clone - "our" Carson went bang back in Sunday, but Michael cloned him and kept him prisoner, until the team ran across him looking for Teyla. And there's this whole heartbreaking thing where Carson thinks he's been captive for nearly two years (since the whole Wraith-into-human rebellion in "Misbegotten"), just holding on because John and Rodney are going to come save him. IT's just what they do! And Rodney has to tell him that no, Carson's dead, and they never were looking for him at all. (Someone needs to write Carson's story, with all that angst)

But without Michael's drugs, the clone was dying and they stuck him in statis until they could figure out how to fix it. No fix on that as of yet, so next week.

John's pointy ears? LOL - I missed them! I guess I was too busy fixating on his garish makeup. Oh, and also wishing that he and Ronon would pass the time they were trapped with handjobs or something. Hahah

Thanks so much for answering my q's! The season opener makes a LOT more sense now! Carson is a CLONE? Oh, good God!

Well, I must say that S4 so far is my favorite. Although S5 seems to be starting out strong!

Joe Flannigan has absurdly pointy ears, about which I totally have a thing for - I fell for him in the first ep, when he turned his head and smiled out one side of his mouth and looked more elf than human, and my brain said "oh, I could fall in love with this guy." And then he started being dorky and sarcastic and charming...

There's apparently some whole thing about people claiming Joe is actually an elf, and him denying it with "I am not a Kebler Elf!" (enjoys image of tiny John Sheppard baking me cookies).

For 160+pages of discussion on Joe's ears, see also: The Pointy Ears Thread . Because its SGA fandom, and we can obsess about anything (I'm sure there's a "Rodney's needlessly blue eyes" thread somewhere, and a "Ronon, how so hunky?" discussion).

Yep, CLONE Carson! It would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad. It's all i Kindred, mostly part 2. He honestly thought he was a POW for nearly two years, and that the people he trusted with his life couldn't be bothered to rescue him :(

Season 4 is all about themes of what it means to be human, what it means to be yourself, and it's all really interesting (at least to dorky aca-fans like me). And there's some really dark stuff (have you seen "Miller's Crossing" yet? - WOW! and Doppelganger!)

I am a huge fan of Joe F

but i've given up on atlantis... imho it kind of went to pot at the end of season 3

thought i heard there is some good John whump at the beginning of season 5

I was kinda feeling that way, too. It was just getting rather dull for me. But S4 is surprisingly good (I'm on ep 10 now) and the first ep of S5 was really good too ...

i watched the first few episodes of season 4 and just couldn't handle it.. Keller, elis and then sam oi i just wanted to throw rocks at them all.

i miss ronan, and john and rodney though :(

i live in denial i am just pretending the show ended
and that torri and paul were still on it

stargate pretty much killed fandoms for me... i was really hesitant to start getting involved with SPN still am in some ways
