Atlantis: Can we keep her? Please?
Seriously. I was in love with the woman from the moment she turned off the radiation shields to beat John at his own game. Then she hauled off and hit him several times for the message thing. And then she bit his hand in the closet.
CAN WE KEEP HER, PLEASE?
I'm kind of deeply in love.
Not to mention: she stole his gun and stunned his ass.
I really really love her.
Then there's her people. Now, I didn't actually see the first half of the episode, so I don't know about the rest of them, but from the little I saw of her and her motivations, they make sense. In a sense, she's in a war against the Wraith as much as Shep is. The stakes are just higher on Atlantis's side because of Earth.
But as far as she's concerned, they're higher for her. And I love that she was willing to do anything for her people.

Oh. And we now have CANON PICTORIAL EVIDENCE of Teyla's "Boys ARE STUPID" look. This requires screencaps and lots of iconage, people.
eta: have now seen it all. Really really still like her. She had a plan, and she wasn't going to let anyone dissuade her. Plus? She's in complete and total charge, and that's hot, awesome, and fucking awesome.
