...oh
Not sure if this has been reported yet, but...
Rachel Luttrell had a small interview with SciFi Wire on June 13, in which she discussed the way her pregnancy was adopted into the storyline and what she's expecting for Season Four, in storyline terms.
About the pregnancy storyline:
"It's not only the fact that she's going to have this darker side, but also the fact that she's going to be faced with taking care of someone who may be the last of her kind."
I've never thought about the pregnancy from that angle before and it really blew my mind. I just assumed that they would find the Athosians sooner or later. That line just gives me all sorts of ideas for angst fic.
Anyway, continuing with some other Teyla related storylines:
...and there are changes in store for her character beyond the pregnancy, Luttrell said. "There have been little things that have been touched on throughout the past seasons: The fact that she has these powers that are innate to her, her physiology, etc.," she said. "So we expand that a little bit in terms of her links to the Wraith."
Non!Pregnancy storylines makes me a much happier camper.
Then, here's the kicker. I'm extremely surprised that this hasn't been spread around the fandom by some anti-J/T fen or anti-Teyla fen in general. Maybe it has - I don't pay that much attention.
Luttrell added that Teyla may also find a little romance. "She actually does have a love interest that she's been hiding from everybody," she said with a laugh. "We haven't met him yet. I haven't met him yet. I hope I'm part of the casting process."
I'm still trying to figure out if my 'ship just sank a miserable death or if it's just been delayed at port for a while.
