Very first...Happy, Happy Birthday to
let_fate_decide!!! Hope it's a great one.
Second firstly, I loved this ep. Like, individually, not the biggest fan of Ronon and Teal'c. Well, ok, I love Ronon. He's always got the perfect comment (or non comment) and John likes his big gunerr...gun. Teal'c though, I mean, I like him well enough, he's often quite

So - I have definite ideas about how children should be reared. But I don't think any of these really map onto Teyla's life. I hope Teyla is an involved mom. I hope we see her breastfeed and co-sleep and wear her baby and all that good stuff. But, as one of the great hopes of humanity in her galaxy, maybe this really isn't what she should be doing.
Mostly, I just hope that TPTB don't ruin the show for me by how they handle mother!Teyla.

And so has the difficulty for you been not wanting to do this, having to do, or not being able to afford (be it money or otherwise) daycare when you do want to go back to work?

There are so many fics that deal with members of Atlantis getting kids and managing to balance. But a bigger moral question is: should they have to? Say John decided to have a kid (not an accident, not forced on him). SHOULD he make that decision when he's Atlantis' military commander and one of the great hopes as well (IMO)? It comes down to the good/wants of one vs the good/need of the many. Could John in such ( ... )

And now, you're right, I don't think John is being an ass. I too believe he's clueless. My problem is, as I said, that he doesn't seem to be listening. He loves Teyla, so he's worried about her. But he wants her back, too. So he's closing himself off to her comments that might allude to her not coming back. In a sense, he only has himself to blame. While I don't mean to suggest Teyla would disregard her child, I think until John made it a point to say she shouldn't have been out in the field while pregnant and about her worry of being the last of her people, she WAS planning on going right back on active duty. But his comments alerted a worry within her.

Oh, I agree. I don't feel it's OOC at all. Doesn't mean I have to like it.

I prefer to just completely ignore the way John's been treating Teyla's pregnancy. But then, I ignore probably about half the crap the writers come up with in SGA. Heh. ^__^
I miss Elizabeth. *sniff* AND ALSO! I was sad that they had some other IOA guy in this and not Woolsey. Woolsey's still alive, right? I can never keep these things straight. Haha, anyway, I love him to death, pretty much only b/c he's played by Robert Picardo. XD XD

And yes, Woolsey's alive. I take it you don't read spoilers?
