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

I'd heard some of this but not all

re #3: From the way it sounds, I think it's going to be a brief boyfriend sort of situation, which would be a nice way to round Teyla out since she hasn't had much "personal" development in the course of three seasons. And I (usually) don't change who I ship either, no matter the evidence to the contary. I just like canon support here and there. I think my initial reaction was, "Oh noes, something's endangering meh ship canonically! Red alert, red alert! All hands on deck!" and I posted it in a hurry. I don't think a romance for Teyla will be a completely terrible idea at all.

Those are interesting storyline spoilers. I'm very happy that she is still going to get some interesting things to do aside from/beyond the pregnancy. As far as her love interest affecting John/Teyla, I'm not going to remain hopeful for John/Teyla. I'm kind of used to shows trying to distract me from my ship and give up hope. So this will be no different.

Thanks for sharing the spoilers.

I won't stop shipping either. I just pushed the panic button a little too fast this time.

The secondary storylines sounds really great though and I can't wait.

I'm glad you understood what I was saying, when I couldn't get it to come out right. I meant to say I'm going to remain hopeful for Teyla/John. :)

re: #3 - what purple_cube has already said

[greenconverses]

What happens in canon doesn't change who I ship.

See, I don't think I was clear enough on that point. I'm still going to ship John/Teyla, but I'm just a bit of a canon!whore.

I'm distinctly uncomfortable with the view promoted by certain J/T fans that Teyla is patiently waiting for John to get over his kirking stage and see her there, so adoring of him that he just has to fall in love with her...

I didn't even think of the double standard when I posted. My ship never felt threatened when John went around having girlfriends, but the minute Teyla does it I'm all up in arms. Ugh. *headdesk* And here I was, all about promoting multilayered females a few weeks ago...

But you're right, Teyla does deserve a romance or at least some personal development after three years. I think it'd be good for her character.

I need to stop doing the paniac dance, really...

It's okay. You get used to this after a few years in fandom.

Particularly in Stargate fandom, where they always hint and never conclude.

I figure if John's able to go around sexin' up the alien chicks (who aren't Teyla), then Teyla should have her fair share of admiration, flirtation, and if John has a pang or a dozen watching her come out of someone else's tent or room in the morning, then there's angst possibilities!

I'm a canon!whore at heart, too. But this is Stargate - no relationship between the main cast will ever be canon.

*sigh*

I suppose I should get used to it then. Really, my past fandoms have spoiled my immensely.
