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.

Yep, you got the answers for sure. Me personally, I don't think the jackass writers can make up their minds on who to "hint-ship" Teyla with. There are a few instances with her and John and then there are instances of her and Ronon; like Michael, Echoes, and this ep. All in all I liked this ep except for the Woolsey thing at the end. Just yuck. I know Amanda only had a year left on her contract but ewww!

Well, I guess that the Woolsey thing will introduce a lot of room for conflict ... lol!

I guess the writers want Teyla to be able to ship with everyone. Including Keller. LOL.

What gets me about the writers/PTB is that there has been so much controversy over the characters they jacked already. Weir and Carson, a little with Heightmeyer. All the chaos that ensued with Sam replacing Weir and Keller replacing Carson and now after a season with Sam, they bring in Woolsey.

The SG fandom is picky enough without this many character replacements in 1.1 seasons. I'm here for Ronon. If he goes, I go. Guess I'm one of those picky rascals but damn, 4 characters in such a short timespan. That is a little much for me.

And then there's the entire Daniel and Jonas thing, back on SG-1. I'm new-ish to the whole SG-verse, so all my knowledge is after the fact, but I know people freaked out endlessly on that one.

But people seemed to like Cam? I adored Cam, but I'm just that sort of girl.

Yeah I had a coronary over Daniel too. He is my favorite character on SG-1. After him was Jack so I wasn't as thrilled with Cam but he grew on me. I loved Browder from Farscape and had this thing where everytime he talked on SG-1, I kept flashing back to his Crichton days. It was hard to shake but I did after a while. It was easier with Vala since her character was so different from Aeryn but Crichton and Cam - too close.

You're new to the SG fandom? I suggest staying away from the Sci-fi Boards. That place is hell and it is amazing how much fighting goes on in between different shows.

For instance, when SG-1 got canceled, there was a huge war between the SG-1 fandom and the BSG fandom. It was the nastiest lowdown dirtiest fighting I've ever seen. It made the wankfests that go on in LJ seem tiny and nothing in comparison. I sat back and watched it explode into crap within hours.

Even knowing what all happens, I cried - I fell hard for the guy (as twasadark knows from my rambling on about him being all broken and smart and just wonderful), and, just, *hugs Daniel*

Farscape is next on my cracky sci-fi watch queue (after BSG, which I like but don't love - too good, maybe?) so I'll likely spend the entire time thinking his character is a lot like Cam (and Cam is a lot like Dean, if Mary had died and they never became hunters - my pet theory of the moment). I loved Cam's fanboy-ness. He loved SG-1 as much as the fans loved SG-1, and it never felt like he was attempting to replace Jack (too me, in my Feb-June burn run through the series).

BSG fandom strikes me as sort off odd - all those pretty boys, and no one can seem to find any good Apollo slash?

I like your pet theory!

I LOVE Daniel. I still cry when I watch Meridian (I think that's how its spelled)

I made a huge mistake of comparing Cam to Crichton on the Scifi Boards and got my head taken off. Weird ass people. I still see a lot of that character in Cam. But no, I don't think he replaced Jack. He is far from Jack. And I agree, he was very fanboyish. "We're getting the band back together".

And hahaha! Too true on the BSG slash. Way too many pretty boys. They must be keeping the slash fic a secret from the rest of the populace.

Yeah, I know what you mean about Ronon. I LURVE Ronon!! Without him, the show would not be terribly interesting!!

Mmmm, Ronon! I saw the previews for Runner and he is what made me watch SGA for the 1st time.
