TEYLA!

Who is psyched tonight for SGA? ME. Not for any particular reason, since I don’t know what episode that I have been deliciously spoiled for is airing tonight, but I can talk about ( last week’s episode )

One of my not-so-secret super joys of finally giving up and loving this show is being able to read these posts and UNDERSTAND THEM!

And knowing JFlan, Sheppard's face will be a brilliant combo of ALL OF THOSE.

I know! Sorry, I meant to point out that I know that JFlan is going to do an awesome, amazing, nuanced reaction shot which will probably encompass all of those emotions, and a few we haven't come up with. BECAUSE HE IS AMAZING.

I finally got to watch this ep yesterday, and I too was highly pleased with the fact that Teyla got to be frustrated and stressed and upset (and not very good at covering it). Keller, God love her, was not showing much sense of urgency at the beginning of the episode, and Teyla was just radiating stress and "I swear to God, I am one minute from leaving you here." And then she DID, at the bridge. That was fantastic. I thought that - lovely surprise! - the writers actually did a great job of realistically portraying two women interacting with each other in a stressful situation. Note: in this particular situation, I totally would have been Keller.

And yes, it's totally ironic that her date clothes cover up approx. 99.9% of her body, but she's smackin' it around Atlantis in a midriff-baring tank top to, you know, go to meetings.

Hey, that's just her culture!

Also, yes, re: Teyla being stressed. I also liked the bit where she had to VISIBLY pull herself together and prepare Keller in case she got tortured, even though she really didn't feel much like it.

Teyla should act annoyed all the time, because her bitchface is legendary.

So say thank you for saving me and be done with it! I think I was waving not so little Teylas flags by then.

OMG, I KNOW!!! It just really brings home how patient and kind Teyla is with Sheppard and McKay. Not that they're as pain-in-the-assy as Keller and whatsisname, but still! Her angry face! IT WAS AWESOME.

Oh, she reminded me of Rodney actually. (This is the point where I imagine him in Keller's place, especially the scene with her hand over his mouth, and my brain starts short-circuiting. Uh, where was I?)

(Wow, I'm with the commenting today.) Also, I just stumbled over this vid, which made me laugh and think of your I FEEL GREAT Ronon.

I love every word of this post so much it's bordering on painful. Especially the part about Ronon downgrading from "great" to "good."

*adores*

This whole post just totally cracked me up, especially...

On days when he has a bullet wound or someone he knows gets killed, he downgrades it to "I feel good."

oh my, the tears!

HEE HEE HEE. note: in my head, Ronon leads a dawn yoga class and is all about wellness. also, feeling GREAT. People don't feel GREAT? That happens? What? Why? Are they sick? Huh. You know what they should do? DAWN YOGA and then a brief ten mile jog! Then a large breakfast! That will fix them!
