So, here's a link to a video clip of Joe Mallozzi and Paul Mullie chatting about the upcoming Atlantis season 4. View it here:

I have something to say...
Squee for the hug! I realize it might not be shippy, but I really don't care in what context the hug happens. It looks as though she's in his room, or just outide it (you can see his Johnny Cash poster) and they look sad. I wonder what's happened, and what ep that's from?
Shippy or friendshippy, it looks beautiful, and I doubt its any coincidence that that clip happens right when JM is referring to relationships.
About Larrin kissing Sheppard it's par for the course, is it not? I don't want to address Kirking, but it is Larrin that kisses Sheppard, and she's got a gun on him at the time. In the sides, there's a bit where Larrin tells Sheppard they need his DNA, and when he asks what he can expect in return for his help, she implies there's a few things that could happen, and I'll bet that's when that kiss happens.
At any rate, I've already written at GW that this sort of sexy-but-evil-friend-maybe-foe is par for the course. Look at Anise, Hathor, Nirrti, Osiris, and the other SG-1 chics that flirt with the male heroes to get what they want. I had higher hopes for Larrin, but once again, TPTB have shown me they're sticking to their formula. I just wish they'd put the cliches down and back away. Far, far away.
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to S4. Thoughts? Doubts? Squees? Boos and hisses?
